Three things that matter

For RIAs, three things matter.

  1. Marketing Rule 206(4)-1 alignment

    The 2023 SEC enforcement actions (US$850K nine-RIA sweep in September 2023) made clear: hypothetical and live performance advertising to mass audiences is dangerous.

    STAXIS does not advertise backtested or live performance to non-qualified-client audiences. Performance data is shared with prospective qualified clients only after the qualified-client paperwork is in place. We respect the line.

  2. Custody posture

    For RIAs subject to Custody Rule 206(4)-2, STAXIS’s non-custodial architecture is the structural answer. We do not have custody of your clients’ assets — they remain with your chosen custodian (e.g., Schwab + a separate crypto custodian).

  3. Audit-grade records

    Form ADV Part 2A disclosures benefit from STAXIS’s hash-chained audit logs. Every decision is recorded with the full reasoning chain. SOC 2 Type I attestation targeted for Year 1 (not yet attained).

Deployment options

Identical architecture. Operational choice.

your cloud · self-hostyou operateapiengineledgerSTAXIS cloud · managedwe operate

Self-host

You run STAXIS on your AWS, GCP, or Azure infrastructure. Full data segregation. SSO via your identity provider. Your IT team owns the deployment.

  • Onboarding: 30–60 days
  • Pricing: $60K–$200K/year (base; same as managed)
  • Customer pays infrastructure costs
  • SOC 2 readiness evidence shared under NDA

Managed

STAXIS runs on our infrastructure. Per-firm data segregation. Your team consumes the service through API + dashboard. We operate the underlying systems.

  • Onboarding: 14–30 days
  • Pricing: +$20–40K/year vs self-host (ops cost)
  • SLA: 99.5% uptime; 24-hour escalation
  • Quarterly audit reports for your books and records

Most RIAs start managed; transition to self-host in Year 2+ if compliance preference shifts.
