Heritage Werks Group launches NetX AuthorityAI to make enterprise AI answers verifiable

A trust layer for enterprise AI

HWG, which describes itself as a leader in knowledge management for major global enterprises, calls NetX AuthorityAI the "Authority Layer for enterprise AI." The company argues that organizations are adopting AI while leaving their most valuable assets behind: decades of proprietary information, research and experience that remain disconnected from AI systems.

Even when AI does gain access to that knowledge, HWG says, a critical question remains: can organizations trust the answers? The company contrasts its approach with general-purpose platforms such as ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, which it says are built on vast amounts of information from the internet and other sources, where fact, opinion and misinformation can coexist.

How the platform works

According to HWG, NetX AuthorityAI connects an organization's proprietary knowledge, archives, digital assets, enterprise data and verified external sources into a governed knowledge network. The platform ranks, scores and validates information, then delivers fully cited, trust-verified answers that can be traced to their original sources. It also surfaces relevant photographs, documents, videos and other assets to support research, storytelling, content creation and decision-making.

The company lists several controls meant to keep the system trustworthy:

• A secure, closed-loop environment where proprietary information is protected and never used to train public AI models.
• Enterprise governance, role-based permissions and approval controls that determine which information users can access.
• Source verification and citation requirements.
• NetX AuthorityScore™, which measures and optimizes the contextual relevance of content for AI.

HWG also says AuthorityAI is designed to acknowledge a gap when sufficient evidence is unavailable, rather than generate an unsupported response.

Research partnership and efficiency claims

The product was developed through a strategic research collaboration with Georgia Tech's Tech AI Institute, combined with HWG's nearly two decades of experience managing institutional knowledge for large organizations. HWG founder and CEO Keir Walton said: "Getting an answer from AI is easy. Knowing whether you can trust it is another matter."

The company also makes an energy claim. It says the NetX Green Layer architecture achieves up to 4X greater inference energy efficiency through intelligent model selection and optimized processing, which it says reduces costs and environmental impact. The figure comes from HWG, and the release does not describe how it was measured.

What it means for organizations

HWG positions the platform as a way for every employee to become an authority on their organization. The company points to uses such as accelerating complex research, uncovering overlooked knowledge, generating content, informing strategic decisions and identifying new opportunities.

Jason Wehling, founder of NetX and chief technology officer of HWG, said that enterprise AI "needs an authoritative foundation," one that preserves context, permissions and traceability, whether it supports a single workgroup or a broader AI investment.

For companies weighing AI tools, the pitch centers on verifiability and governance rather than model size. NetX AuthorityAI is available now, and HWG directs interested organizations to its website to learn more or schedule a demo. Pricing was not included in the announcement.
