SYNNQ
PULSE
DEMO
A concrete, end-to-end example showing metadata processing, federated learning, and compliant cross-border law enforcement coordination.
Pilot Plan & Architecture Overview
SYNNQ Pulse serves as federated AI infrastructure (server + client orchestration), not an end-user analytics suite. Any analytics mentioned refers to partner/agency-built modules that sit on top of Pulse.
A) Pilot SOW & Timeline
Objective: Show that SYNNQ Pulse can serve as the sovereign federated backbone for cross-border link-analysis/triage by powering models across local data silos—so raw personal data never leaves agency premises—while meeting EU AI Act (high-risk obligations), Law Enforcement Directive (LED) 2016/680, and adjacent rules.
Scope: 2–3 agencies in 1–2 neighbouring EU states (or federal + regional). No real-time biometric identification in the pilot.
Duration: 10–12 weeks (engineering + legal + evaluation)
| Phase | Duration | Activities / Deliverables |
|---|---|---|
| Prep & legal alignment | Wk 0–1 | NDAs/MoU, DPIA/Fundamental-Rights assessment draft, permitted-fields catalogue |
| Baseline & adapters | Wks 1–3 | Deploy Pulse clients on-prem; map local systems; configure policy engine |
| Federated model set-up | Wks 3–6 | Configure secure aggregation, DP clipping/noise; train link-logic embeddings |
| Pilot run & inference | Wks 6–9 | Run test set across cross-border case pairs; human-in-the-loop review |
| Audit & compliance report | Wks 9–11 | Generate audit trails, explainability summaries, AI-Act conformity artefacts |
| Wrap & handover | Wk 12 | Lessons learned; operations guide; rollback plan; SIENA/EIS/Prüm II roadmap |

Client Node A Client Node B … (many)
(agency on-prem) (agency on-prem)
Each Client Node:
• Policy engine (permitted fields/tasks)
• Data adapters/ETL to local systems
• Local training/inference (no raw PI leaves)
• DP/secure aggregation wrapper
• Attestation + signed checkpoints
• Human-in-the-loop review UI (agency-owned)
• Append-only audit loggerImportant: "Analytics UI" is not Pulse; it's an agency/partner module that consumes Pulse-produced model artefacts and provenance under strict policy.
- • Federated Coordinator: Orchestrates rounds, secure aggregation, model versioning
- • Client Nodes: Stay inside each agency's network; train/infer locally
- • Policy Engine & Audit: Enforce legal filters, log every material action
- • Interoperability connectors: SIENA/EIS for secure info exchange
- • Security & PETs: Secure aggregation, differential privacy, attestation
C) Vendor Comparison (Infrastructure vs. Analytics Suite)
| Dimension | SYNNQ Pulse | Palantir Gotham/Foundry |
|---|---|---|
| Data sovereignty | Raw data stays local; federated updates only | Often centralised data fusion for analytics efficiency |
| Regulatory posture | Built to generate AI-Act/LED artefacts | Mature enterprise governance, but perceived opacity |
| Auditability | Append-only logs, model cards, oversight exports | Audits possible, but more vendor-controlled |
| EU sovereign stack fit | Backbone for agencies/partners to build analytics on top | Turnkey analytics, but with lock-in/sovereignty trade-offs |
D) Execution Timeline (first 6–12 months)
Months 1–3 — Pilot
Deploy Pulse clients + coordinator; run non-biometric link-analysis pilot; produce DPIA/FRIA + logs; red-team & bias tests; no centralised raw PI.
Months 4–6 — Federated expansion
Scale to 3–5 nodes; start SIENA/EIS proof connectors; map Prüm II transaction semantics.
Months 7–9 — Hardening & optimisation
PETs tuning (DP budgets vs. utility), comms compression, drift/rollback drills; certify secure aggregation path.
Months 10–12 — Certification & rollout
Independent security/privacy audits; Member-State conformity steps for AI-Act high-risk deployments; publish transparency/oversight summaries.
LED & AI Act Compliant
This example demonstrates how SYNNQ Pulse processes metadata locally while maintaining compliance with the Law Enforcement Directive (LED), AI Act obligations for high-risk LEA systems, and EU police interoperability frameworks (SIENA/EIS/Prüm II).
Key Principles
- No raw PI leaves the agency
- Metadata-only processing
- Federated learning with DP
- Secure aggregation
Compliance
- LED data minimisation
- AI Act auditability
- Purpose limitation
- Retention controls
Example Local Data (Agency A)
Non-biometric case metadata typically allowed in a pilot. Identifiers are agency-scoped; no free-text content or biometrics.

}Why metadata? It's fit-for-purpose and easier to justify under LED data minimisation & necessity; raw PI or content can remain local while still enabling link-analysis via derived features.
