Our approach
Research-grade rigour, applied to the systems people depend on.
CRATIS was founded in Milan in 2026 to commercialise the applied research and engineering expertise developed by its founders. We bring an academic standard of rigour to industrial problems in security, dependability and electronics design.
We work independently and vendor-neutral, so our advice serves the system and the mission — not a product line.
P-01
Dependability first
We design for the failure modes, not just the happy path.
P-02
Evidence over assertion
Benchmarking and verification turn claims into measurable results.
P-03
Independent & vendor-neutral
No reseller incentives — recommendations follow the requirements.
P-04
Security by design
Resilience is engineered in from the architecture, not bolted on.
