6 terms

ai-first technical

"develop a suite of AI-first digital platforms that extend Viability's proven"

ai-first describes a company, product, or strategy that treats artificial intelligence as the central engine for design, decision-making, and value creation—like building a car around its engine instead of tacking it on later. For investors it signals potential for faster scaling, automation and differentiated products, while also bringing specific risks around data quality, technical execution and regulation that can materially affect growth and valuation.

ai architecture technical

"Globant is providing end-to-end product development expertise, including AI architecture design, data"

AI architecture is the blueprint for how an artificial intelligence system is put together — the choice and arrangement of models, data pipelines, computing hardware and software that make the system work. For investors it matters because this design largely determines accuracy, speed, cost, and how easily the system can grow or be defended from competitors; think of it like a building’s plans that affect resale value, maintenance bills and expansion potential.

accessibility engineering technical

"AI architecture design, data integration, accessibility engineering, and user experience development."

Accessibility engineering is the process of designing websites, apps, products and services so people with disabilities can use them easily, like adding ramps or large-print menus to a building. For investors it matters because good accessibility expands the potential customer base, reduces legal and regulatory risk, and can lower long-term costs while protecting reputation—factors that affect revenue and the company’s valuation.

wcag 2.1 aa regulatory

"designed to meet WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards, FERPA, and HIPAA standards"

A set of web accessibility rules (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1, Level AA) that describe how websites and digital content should be designed so people with disabilities can use them reliably—think of it as building ramps, clear signage and good lighting for the internet. Investors care because meeting these standards reduces legal and regulatory risk, widens the potential customer base, and often improves overall usability and brand reputation, much like making a store easier to enter benefits all customers.

ferpa regulatory

"designed to meet WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards, FERPA, and HIPAA standards"

A U.S. federal law that protects the privacy of students’ education records and gives parents or eligible students control over who can see or share that information. For investors, compliance is important because it can limit how education-related products and services handle data, affect contracts with schools, create legal and financial risk if violated, and influence a company’s market access and reputation — think of it as a required privacy lock on student records.

hipaa regulatory

"designed to meet WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards, FERPA, and HIPAA standards"

A U.S. law that sets rules for keeping individuals’ health information private and secure, and for how that information can be shared. Think of it as a mandatory lock-and-key system for medical records that hospitals, insurers, and tech vendors must use. Investors care because failing to follow these rules can lead to big fines, costly remediation, loss of business access to patient data, and reputational damage that can hurt a company’s finances and growth prospects.
