Orbis Ontology
The living model of your operation, built on the systems you already own.
The Ontology takes the records Orbis Atlas connects and turns them into typed objects and the links between them, attaches the actions a person can approve, and remembers every change. Your teams decide and act on it, with Orbis AI.

Your systems, via Orbis Atlas
Orbis AI
Inside the Ontology
Three layers: what exists, what can change, and what did.
Most systems store records. The Ontology adds the meaning between them, the rules for changing them, and the memory of how they changed, so a question and a decision can span every system at once.
Objects
What exists, and how it connects.
Every record Orbis Atlas connects becomes a typed object with properties. Links carry the relationships, so the model knows which incident affects which station, which ticket tracks it, and who owns the fix. An object is a live view over its source, never a second copy.
- Station
- Process
- Incident
- Ticket
- Operator
Actions
What can change, and who approves it.
Actions are the only way the Ontology changes anything. Each one is typed, takes checked parameters, needs a person's approval, reaches only allow-listed systems, and writes a hash-chained audit record.
- Open incident
- Assign owner
- Create ticket
- Notify
- Resolve incident
Time
Everything that changed, remembered.
The Ontology keeps an append-only history of every object and link. Ask what the model looked like at any past moment, see exactly what changed between two moments, and trace every value back to the system it came from.
- As-of questions
- Change diffs
- Lineage
One model, every team
Everyone works from the same objects and the same rules.
Data teams connect sources once. Engineering and AI teams build on objects and actions. Operations teams decide and act. All of it runs through one shared model, so nothing is rebuilt and nothing drifts.
Ask across systems in plain language and act, with approval, from one place.
Connect each source once with Orbis Atlas. The Ontology maps it to objects in place, with nothing copied out.
Work against objects and actions instead of raw tables and one-off integrations.
Decisions where the work happens.
Answers and actions reach the people who make the call, inside the tools they already use, and every decision is recorded with who approved it and why.
One shared logic.
Operations, data and engineering teams work from the same objects and the same rules, so a question means the same thing to everyone.
Build once, reuse everywhere.
Each new workflow reuses the objects, links and actions already in the model, instead of rebuilding an integration for every use case.
Nothing duplicated.
Objects are live views over your systems, not copies, so the Ontology never becomes a competing source of truth.
Capabilities
Everything the Ontology does, marked honestly.
What ships today, what our team sets up for your systems during deployment, and what is still being built. Nothing below is shown as available before it is.
Explorer
LiveSearch every object, see which system it came from, what it links to and how it changed, and act on it with approval.
Governed write-back
LiveApproved actions reach the system that owns them through allow-listed connectors, every one audited.
Action simulation
LiveA dry run of every check an action faces, and the change it would make, before anything runs.
Cross-system questions
Mapped at deploymentOne query across every connected system, such as critical incidents that no ticket tracks.
History and lineage
Mapped at deploymentAs-of questions, change diffs, and the source of every value.
Process mining
ComingSee how work actually flows through your systems, and where it stalls.
Scenarios
ComingTest a decision against a copy of the model before you commit to it.
Live means shipping in the product today. Mapped at deployment means the capability exists, and our team sets it up for your systems during deployment. Coming means on the roadmap and not built yet. We never show it as available.
Across industries
One model, any operation.
The objects change from a factory to a fulfilment network to a data centre. The shape of the problem does not: an important question crosses systems that were never designed to talk.

Early access
Build your model with the founding team.
ForgeOrbis is early, and we would rather say so than borrow credibility. Early deployments work directly with the people who build the platform, and what you need next shapes what we build next. Customer stories will appear here when customers choose to share them.
