Exact-route selection
Select the API route explicitly and inspect its current tier. Review upstream versions and pool membership separately: the route ID is stable, not a guarantee of frozen model weights.

Tier 2 planned for Q1 2027
Live: Tier 3 Canadian routesPlanned: Tier 1 and Tier 2Planned: NI SOC 2 assessment
Plan your workload on NI-owned Canadian hardware, without a US cloud provider.
Make the third-party assessment concrete.
Identify the provider boundary, the policy attached to the selected route, and what may change over time. Keep model-version validation and concentration-risk assessment alongside the route approval.
What your team can inspect today.
Canadian routes
Live Tier 3 routes select Canadian provider regions. NI records its selected path; provider documentation and contracts govern execution inside the provider.
Request-level custody
Inspect the recorded route, provider and jurisdiction for a request. Attach NI's path evidence to your assessment alongside provider terms and your own validation.
Optional PII substitution
Detected identifiers in supported English text messages can be substituted before dispatch. Review detection limits and retained substitution audit records; this control is not guaranteed anonymization.
Content controls
Set content-debug controls and review retained operational metadata before using sensitive information. PII substitution has its own audit data, and provider retention rules also apply.
Route-specific data use
Review sourced training and retention information for the selected route. Assess each separately: no training and zero retention are different properties. Tier 4 includes US and global boundaries.
Review current models and routes. Custody evidence describes NI's recorded path; provider evidence governs operations inside the provider.
Current readiness, stated plainly.
Evaluate live capabilities today. Planned capabilities describe the roadmap and require a separate availability discussion.

Connect the evidence to your obligations.
OSFI B-10 and B-13
For federally regulated financial institutions, B-10 addresses third-party risk and retained accountability; B-13 addresses technology and cyber risk. NI provider and custody information can support due diligence. Your institution determines whether the arrangement meets its obligations.
Privacy and jurisdiction
Review PIPEDA accountability where applicable and Quebec outside-Quebec assessment requirements. Canadian routing can include provinces outside Quebec. Requirements differ by institution and jurisdiction.
Records and model governance
CIRO books-and-records guidance describes dealer audit-trail obligations. NI custody metadata supplements your evidence. Maintain the communications archives, retention controls and model-validation records your use requires.
Your legal and risk teams determine the applicable requirements and approve the proposed use.
Potential workflows, with human review.
Evaluate these workflows under your institution's model validation, access and human-review requirements. Your organization retains the systems of record and the authority to make investment, credit or compliance decisions.
Internal policy and research
Query approved policies and prepare source-linked summaries. Validate answers and keep the underlying documents available to reviewers.
Analyst-reviewed narratives
Draft KYC, AML or credit-memo narratives from permitted inputs. Authorized staff verify the evidence and make the final judgment.
Code and document assistance
Review code and technical documents under your organization's access and change controls.
