AT-1DB · verified-lossless database

The database that proves itself

Query it in place. Erase one record. Verify every answer. Forecast and find anomalies from the same artifact you store. AT-1DB is a verified-lossless datastore with generative intelligence built in, and every claim below is measured on real data, not promised.

Where we're honest about the win

On raw compression ratio we're at parity-to-better with the best general and columnar compressors, we won't claim a 100× miracle on data that doesn't have one. The win is the layer: query-in-place and per-record erasure and cryptographic verification and generative intelligence, all from one file, all lossless. Nobody else gives you all four.

What it does

Query the generator, not the data

Most columns in a real table are a function, not data, autoincrement ids, evenly-spaced timestamps, accumulating counters. AT-1 recovers that function and answers a range predicate AND its exact selectivity from a few coefficients, reading zero stored bytes: 30,000×–60,000× faster than a scan, byte-identical to DuckDB. It isn't a faster scan, it's a different physics of query. Patent-pending; see the zero-scan docs.

Query in place

For the columns that aren't generator-produced, run predicate + projection queries directly on the compressed file, zone-map block-skip reads a fraction of the data. No restore, no decompress-the-world. Measured 13× less I/O on real lakehouse data.

Erase one record

Per-record cryptographic erasure: remove a single data subject by key destruction and emit a signed certificate. Everything else stays exactly recoverable, queryable, and verifiable. GDPR/CCPA right-to-erasure without rewriting the archive.

Verify the answer

Every record carries a SHA-256 integrity trailer; every query can return an Ed25519-signed receipt binding the answer to the exact sealed dataset. A third party can verify provenance + integrity + non-repudiation, without re-running the query or seeing the raw rows.

Generative intelligence

Recall records by structure, forecast a series beyond its stored range, rank by anomaly, and complete a record from a partial cue, served from the same artifact you store. The database doesn't just hold the data; it holds what generated it.

Provenance-sealed AI data

Assemble a training corpus that proves its own composition, % real vs synthetic, per-record lineage, sealed so any value tamper or composition lie is detected. Turnkey EU-AI-Act training-data provenance.

Connect your app

Reach it over a socket: an HTTP SQL endpoint with Python and Node drivers, a DB-API 2.0 driver and a SQLAlchemy dialect so your ORM and BI tools connect through standard plumbing, auth, concurrency, and multi-tenant isolation. JDBC/ODBC and a Postgres-wire shim follow on the same protocol.

Ask in plain English

AI-native: an MCP server lets Claude, Cursor, or any agent drive the database in natural language, “which sensors look anomalous?”, “forecast turbine_3 for 50 steps”, translated to a verified query, with the answer signed and checkable. It never guesses; it asks when unsure.

Migrate in one command

Point it at your existing data, CSV, Parquet, NDJSON, or a Postgres dump, and it lands every record in AT-1DB with a mandatory lossless round-trip check. No re-modelling, no schema ceremony; new record shapes ingest later with no migration.

Deploy anywhere

Ship it your way: Docker image, docker-compose, a Helm chart, or a Terraform module, with backup/restore, point-in-time snapshots, and Prometheus metrics built in.

How you pay

Value-based, like the rest of AT-1: land on storage, expand on intelligence. A free tier (up to 100 GB compressed) lets you evaluate the whole thing first.

Storage
The substrate everyone pays

Per-TB-under-management, billed monthly, calibrated to a slice of the storage we save you. On bytes alone we're at parity-to-better with the best columnar formats; the difference is everything you get on top.

Storage parity, lossless, value-exact
Query / I/O
The second value axis

We capture value on two axes, the storage we save you and the read/egress I/O we save you. The graduated per-TB-under-management rate already embeds both, so you get one clean number; high-read workloads can instead meter on measured GB served. Our 13× less I/O is value we deliver and price on, fairly.

Folded into the per-TB bill (or metered on GB served)
Intelligence & Governance
The premium layer

Generative query, native anomaly, verifiable receipts, federated analytics, and provenance-sealed AI corpora, licensed per-SKU. This is the capability nobody else delivers from one verified-lossless artifact.

Per-SKU subscription
Compliance
Pay for the proof

Verifiable query receipts, per-record erasure certificates, and AI-Act corpus attestations, for regulated buyers who need to prove what happened, not just store it.
