Open Core model

The Open Core Advantage: Open Source Strategy

Aimlux.ai Deploys Graphixa.ai,  as a free-to-use, open-source orchestrator to stabilize the "Operational Layer" of migrations (mapping/lineage). This builds an organic user base by solving day-one pain points for free. Aimlux.ai then monetizes through the Intelligence Layer, leveraging Equitus Fusion (KGNN) for automated discovery and PowerGraph for industry-standard SAP blueprints—turning a simple data move into a governed, intelligent transformations.

Open Source Strategy - Aimlux.ai proposes enabling a robust user base for Oracle-to-SAP migration, Graphixa.ai should follow an Open Core model. This provides a free "Operational Utility" that solves immediate pain points (mapping and lineage) while reserving the "Intelligence Layer" (KGNN) and "Industry Blueprints" (PowerGraph) for paying customers.

_________________________________________________

Below is the Community Roadmap that balances open-source accessibility with the Equitus Fusion value-add.

Feature	Traditional Consulting (Informatica/Collibra)	Aimlux.ai with Equitus (Fusion/Graphixa)
Strategy	Manual ETL Projects: High labor, high risk, 12–24 month timelines.	Automated Ingestion: 30 days to Initial Operational Capability (IOC).
Discovery	Metadata Cataloging: Manual tagging and cataloging in tools like Atlan.	Fusion (KGNN): Automatically uncovers hidden data relationships at the source.
Execution	Field-to-Field Mapping: Brittle, manual coding that breaks easily.	Graphixa.ai: Semantic orchestration that reasons through meaning, not just column names.
Governance	Policy-Driven: Rules are written in Collibra but often ignored by the code.	Embedded Governance: Lineage and provenance are native to every data movement.

Graphixa.ai Community Roadmap: "Governance First"

Phase 1: The Foundation (Open Source / Free Trial)

Focus: Winning the Data Architect's trust by solving "Spaghetti Mapping."

• Core Semantic Engine: Ability to create a custom Ontology and use it to map Source Fields $\rightarrow$ Target Columns.

• Deterministic Rule-Set: Basic transformation library (e.g., String to Number, Date formatting, Trim logic).

• SQL Generator: Generation of standard SQL INSERT and UPDATE statements for common DBs (Postgres, MySQL).

• Local Lineage: A "Record-Level" view showing the transformation path for a single data point.

• Manual Error Queue: A UI where users can manually fix rows that failed the rule-based check.

Phase 2: The Intelligence Bridge (The "Paywall" Transition)

Focus: Scaling from "One Table" to "Whole Domain" using Equitus Fusion.

Feature Category	Open Source (Graphixa.ai)	Enterprise Paywall (Equitus Fusion/KGNN)
Discovery	Manual schema import.	Automated Fusion Crawl: KGNN identifies hidden relationships in Oracle schemas.
Mapping	Drag-and-drop manual mapping.	AI Suggestions: KGNN predicts mappings based on data patterns, not just names.
Clean Core	Build your own SAP Ontology.	Aimlux PowerGraph: Pre-built SAP S/4HANA & IBM RISE blueprints.
Transform	Deterministic rules only.	Neural Transformation: KGNN handles complex, multi-table structural shifts.
Execution	Single-threaded loads.	High-Volume Orchestration: Optimized for IBM Power10/RISE bulk loads.

Phase 3: The "Rise" Ecosystem (Service-Based Value)

Focus: Ensuring the SAP migration is "Clean Core" compliant.

• Rise-Ready Templates (Paid): Access to the Aimlux PowerGraph library, which contains the specific mapping logic for SAP's "Universal Journal" and "Business Partner" models.

• Cross-System Provenance (Paid): Extending lineage beyond the database into the application layer (e.g., proving that an Oracle record is the same one now appearing in an SAP Fiori app).

• KGNN Feedback Loop (Paid): Automatically refining transformation rules based on errors caught during the migration process.

Strategy: How this Builds the User Base

1. Lower the Entry Barrier: An Oracle DBA downloads Graphixa.ai for free to solve a mapping headache. They now have their "Business Meanings" (Ontology) locked into the tool.

2. Highlight the Complexity: As the user tries to map a complex Oracle ERP system, Graphixa identifies that there are 5,000 unmapped columns.

3. Offer the "Easy Button": At this point, the user is offered a Free Trial of Equitus Fusion. The KGNN instantly maps 80% of those columns.

4. The Upsell: To move the final data into IBM RISE, the user requires the audit-grade lineage and SAP blueprints provided by the paid Aimlux PowerGraph service.

Would you like me to draft a "Community License" summary that explains how users can contribute to the open-source rule-set while keeping their industry data private?
