• Service documentation: Yes
• Documentation formats: HTML
• End-of-contract data extraction: At the end of a contract, customers are in full control of their data extraction process. The solution is integrated within the client's infrastructure and supported environment, allowing clients to manage data extraction according to their own internal policies, standards, and procedures. There is no lock-in, as open data standards are used, ensuring flexibility and ease of access. While Quantexa does not mandate a specific extraction method, the team is available to assist clients where required, supporting a smooth and efficient data extraction process in line with the customer's governance framework.
• End-of-contract process: At the end of the contract, customers have the option to remove all their data from Quantexa or retain data within the underlying data layer (such as Azure Data Lake and Elasticsearch). As the data layer utilises open data formats, customers do not need to be concerned about vendor lock-in. When the contract expires, the Quantexa licence will expire and customers will lose access to the Quantexa UI but will not lose access to the underlying data, which will remain available for use, including any processing that Quantexa has performed during the contract. Quantexa will assist customers in deleting the Quantexa application from their systems, which may be priced on a time and materials basis, or agreed as part of the initial contract. There is no penalty or limitation for data export from the Quantexa platform at any point during or at the end of the contract.

User journey testing involved pairing with assistive technologies including Jaws on Chrome, NVDA on Firefox, Windows Magnifier, Dragon Naturally Speaking on Chrome, and VoiceOver on Safari. These tests were carried out on Windows 11 and MacOS 13.6 environments to ensure accessibility for users relying on assistive technologies.
• API: Yes
• What users can and can't do using the API: Users can set up and interact with the Quantexa service through a comprehensive suite of REST APIs and software APIs (Scala and Python). The APIs enable integration with external systems, such as case management tools, CRMs, and analytical platforms, supporting both batch and near real-time operations. Users can import and export data, perform fuzzy searches, resolve entities, generate graphs, and apply contextual analytics scoring. The APIs are protected by a robust security model, ensuring access is restricted based on user permissions.; ; Users can make changes by configuring new APIs using Quantexa’s Domain Specific Languages and Scala, allowing for custom logic and deployment-specific requirements. These APIs can be deployed as REST interfaces or executed in batch contexts. Data scientists and developers can leverage open data models and libraries to access outputs and implement custom logic across datasets.; ; Limitations include access to data and functionality via API as this is strictly governed by the security and permissions framework, which may restrict visibility based on user roles and data sensitivity.
• API documentation: Yes

Users can also segment customers by region, customise UI languages, and adapt scoring and profiles to local regulatory needs. Entity resolution and analytics can be tuned for different geographies or lines of business, and data access can be segregated according to roles, geographies, and organisational domains.; ; Customisation can be performed by Quantexa engineers, accredited partners, or by the client themselves with appropriate training. Additionally, users can build their own reports and dashboards, attach risk information notes, and customise permissions to suit organisational requirements. Large-scale platform customisations can be fed into the product roadmap and delivered as part of upgrades included in the licence.

Scaling

• Independence of resources: Quantexa guarantees users are not affected by the demand other users place on the service through vertical and horizontal scaling. The mid-tier is deployed in Kubernetes, with stateless services that can be scaled as user numbers increase. There is no hard limit on users, provided hardware is scaled accordingly. This ensures resource independence and consistent performance, even with hundreds or thousands of users accessing the system simultaneously.
