The Problem

Every era promised to end this. Every era added a layer.

The warehouse didn't remove the ETL. The stack didn't remove the warehouse. The copilot didn't remove the pipeline. Each one arrived with its own headcount — and enterprise AI is now stuck behind all of them.


One engine. Not one more layer.

50% of software payroll

works on the data layer or the systems around it. The toil lives where the data lives.


70% of AI token spend

burns at the same layer — agents re-reading raw, unmodelled data on every single run.


$5.5B+

of announced capital has gone into hiring humans to sit next to enterprise data. The bottleneck of the AI revolution is the supply of forward-deployed engineers — and Nettle removes the need for them.

01

Legacy data isn't AI-ready

Decades of schemas, exports and hand-edited sheets that no model can safely reason over.


02

Agents aren't in the core loop

AI still isn't driving core business processes — it lacks context data that is current, correct and maintained.


03

Point solutions miss the picture

Tool-by-tool fixes patch one pipeline while the surrounding hairball keeps growing.


And a layer is never just software. It's the bill.

Headcount, on-call, and a rewrite every time the business changes.

That is where the engineering budget actually goes.


What your team owns today

Ingest and connector code

Transformation logic, per decision

Schema migrations and backfills

Reconciliation when sources disagree

The rewrite, every time the model changes

…and one more line every time the business asks a new question.

What your team owns with Nettle

The questions worth asking

// that's the list

Your engineers stop maintaining the answer machine — and go build the product.

Millions in platform spend drops to the cost of electricity:

<$35 compute per day · <$5 LLM cost per dataset.

The Engine

One plane underneath.

Every decision on top.

Scroll — the engine assembles itself.

01 · Raw Data

Point it at what you already have.

No schema. No documentation. No pipeline written first. Legacy sources aren't a blocker — they're the input.


S3

Postgres

Kafka

SaaS APIs

Files

400+ connectors

02 · The Foundation

It models itself.

Ingests, cleans, indexes and self-heals continuously. Nothing above it ever touches raw data.


01Entities & keys resolved

02Types & formats normalised

03Duplicates & late events reconciled

04Watching for drift

// nobody wrote any of this

03 · Semantic Layer

Your business, in your own terms.

Entities, metrics and rules inferred from how you actually operate — then kept in sync as you change.


customer

order

margin

churn

cohort

+ whatever you add next

04 · Apps

Two apps live. The rest, one by one.

Every app sits on the same plane and the same semantic layer. Unblock one, and the next costs almost nothing to add.


Explanatory

BUILDING NOW

Talk to raw data. Insight and reporting, without a dashboard being built for you.


Causal

BUILDING NOW

Not what happened — why. Isolate the driver, size it, decide what to change.


Models

NEXT

Predictive models fitted on the semantic layer — churn, spend, vendors — refit whenever it moves.


Visualisation

NEXT

Views that assemble themselves from the questions being asked.


Or your own.

Your engineers build agentic and data apps against entities and metrics — never against raw data, processing or cleaning.


REST

SQL

MCP

streams

OUT · Decisions & Actions

Decisions, not dashboards.

Forecasts, diagnoses, alerts and agent actions — emitted continuously, in the terms the business already uses. Serving 16 personas — exec, finance, legal, sales, ops and the rest — without a report being written for them.


Then the business changes — and none of this breaks.

Where We Are

Live today. Building in the open.

Phase 01 · Live Today

Ingest to insights, without being told anything

Nettle connects, understands the structure and returns insights — no schema documentation, no configuration. Your team can always override its choices.


Natural-language querying & SQL

Semantic classification

BI in one environment

Phase 02 · In Development

Autonomous data migrations

One direction of flow: your sources go in, a complete platform comes out. Generated in about an hour, instead of built over months. Nothing authored by hand in between.


Silver & gold tables (Iceberg)

Realtime OLAP · search · streams

BI / MOLAP · semantic models

Phase 03 · Roadmap

It runs the platform itself

Three things happen continuously — monitored against the model, not a runbook.


Run

— pipelines & invariants execute

Heal

— drift reconciled automatically

Build

— new sources & questions absorbed

The Technical Advantage

A data model borrowed from physics.

Most platforms leave the data model up to each business — that is how you get today's mess. Nettle's models closely track differential geometry, quantum field theory and group theory, organised to solve for business decisions.


A stable model is why the engine works on industries and datasets it has never seen — and why predictive models can be built repeatably over them.

Why Now

The autonomous data layer is being defined right now.

Demand already exists

Every enterprise AI deployment needs context data that is current, correct and continuously maintained. That is a data-layer job.


The category is forming

In the last three quarters Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Databricks, Snowflake and Fivetran + dbt all announced agentic data roadmaps. Palantir has a head start.


Depth wins

Revenue will flow to the most complete and sophisticated solutions — not the widest patchwork.


Complete and autonomous:

the corner nobody occupies.

Copilots assist. Hyperscalers assemble. Point solutions patch. Nettle is the only unified platform that deploys and operates with no human in the loop — which is what makes adoption fast where FDE-led models stay slow.
