Overview

Most enterprise GenAI maps are shelves of product logos, and the logos move every quarter. This book sets a baseline instead: the enterprise GenAI stack as it stands at the start of Q4 2026, built from 2,602 logged sources, with its high-risk claims re-checked by two adversarial verifiers.

Volume 1 sets out a reference architecture for the enterprise GenAI stack, worked through for a regulated asset manager or financial-services firm: nine layers, from foundation models to evaluation, under a firm-owned control plane of eight components (gateway, guardrails, privacy, identity, configuration, FinOps, security and model risk). The layer and control chapters and the product assessments apply to any enterprise; each chapter has one section that applies the regulated financial-services lens.

The central argument is that the control plane a firm owns around its products is the architecture. Products change every quarter; accountability, controls and evidence are what last.

What is inside

  • A reference architecture for regulated firms, layer by layer (L1 to L9) and control by control (C1 to C8)
  • 144 products assessed on one rubric, with Strategic, Tactical and Experimental tiers and the conditions that attach to each
  • Four reference stacks, a build-versus-buy view, lock-in by layer and an 18-month roadmap
  • The EU AI Act, DORA, the UK critical third-party regime and model-risk rules applied to GenAI
  • One worked example throughout: an agent drafting a fund's monthly attribution commentary, approved by a portfolio manager

Every claim is labelled as a verified fact, a reported fact, an architectural judgement, a recommendation or not publicly verified, and every fact traces to a dated source.

Who it is for: enterprise and solution architects, technology and risk leaders, and the engineers, compliance and audit teams who must make GenAI work inside a regulated firm.

Volume 2 re-reads the same stack for six further views: technology service providers, software product companies, start-ups, and the vendors who sell AI tools, agentic software-development tools and agents into the enterprise.

By Bing Zhang, a senior technology leader in global enterprise software engineering, who pioneered and directs an organisation's agentic transformation: a move to AI-native engineering and an agentic software-development lifecycle.
