From brief to build.
Autonomous mobility and industrial physical-AI programs.

Ronna-X is a Houston-anchored research-and-build practice for teams shipping software-defined vehicles, advanced air mobility, industrial robotics, and infrastructure-side physical AI. Architecture reviews, GTM playbooks, federated testbed design, and fractional advisory — independent of any vendor stack, operator-side voice.

▸ vertical 01 SDV · AIDV Software-defined vehicles, V2X corridors, cooperative-perception roadmaps.
▸ vertical 02 AAM · AIDA Vertiports, UAM corridors, UTM partner architecture, operator-side discipline.
▸ vertical 03 ROBOTICS Industrial humanoid + AMR pilots, factory mesh, cyber-physical validation.
## practice // what the work looks like

Three lenses, one architecture.

Most autonomy advisors live inside one vertical. Ronna-X works across SDV, AAM, and industrial robotics because the underlying topology is the same: reactive (System 1) + predictive (System 2) + a cooperative-perception commons. We help your team see the system whole and ship inside it.

▸ 01 · architecture

Architecture & topology reviews

Where is the System 1 / System 2 boundary in your stack? Where is the cooperative-perception layer missing? Where is the topology debt? We map your program against the cross-vertical reference architecture and surface the moats, gaps, and shippable next moves.

GTM playbooks & ecosystem maps

Named partner shortlists. Value-prop matrices. Pricing & packaging that match a regulated, infrastructure-heavy industry. Buyer journeys that respect long sales cycles. The output is the playbook a program team can take to commit — not another deck.

Federated testbed & pilot design

Corridor-scale federated testbeds. V2X / UTM interface contracts. Pilot architectures that produce real safety cases. Validation that scales with the program — not just per-vehicle regression. The commons your sector still has to build.

## platform // built on nexus · the engine behind the practice

The same topology, productized.

NEXUS is Ronna-X's proprietary cross-domain physical-AI validation engine — a System-of-Systems platform that operationalizes the architectural lens described in our published briefs. Bare-metal C-Core execution plane, observation plane, and an agentic test harness designed to validate cooperative-perception and world-model architectures across every vertical the practice serves.

## engage // four standard scopes · price bands indicative · all scoped per engagement

Four ways to work together.

Engagements are sprint-based with the option to extend into fractional advisory. Price bands below are indicative — every engagement is scoped against your specific program shape, team posture, and deliverable density.

Power Sovereignty as Physical AI

The same architecture, applied to the smart grid: SDG → AIDG. AMI / PMUs as the cooperative-perception commons. Protective relays as System 1. AI dispatch as System 2. The grid as a sovereign physical-AI system.

## about // founder · independent practice · the brand story

Why Ronna-X.

The "Ronna" SI prefix denotes 10²⁷ — the magnitude required to think about modern cyber-physical systems honestly. The "X" is the multiplier: where the foundation meets agentic AI, cross-domain validation, and mission-critical operator-side execution. The brand encodes the architectural lens.

Ronna-X brand evolution — from Ronna (the SI 10²⁷ foundation) to Ronna-X (the agentic, cross-domain, multiplier ecosystem powered by NEXUS).
RONNA = the foundation · RONNA-X = the multiplier ecosystem · NEXUS = the agentic engine

Who is on the other end of the email.

Ronna-X is a single-practitioner practice with extension capacity — every engagement is led directly by the founder, with bench partners brought in only when a specific sub-scope (e.g., regulatory drafting, hardware-in-the-loop testing) requires it. No agency layering. No junior staffing.

Hervé Oudin — 15+ years in advanced and exponential technology business development, strategic planning, and solution marketing across the Test & Measurement, Digital Twins, and Cyber-Physical industries. Most recent senior role 2022–2026: +217% FY25 · +143% FY24 growth across software test, digital twin, and edge-AI portfolios.

Program-management leadership across 5G, V2X, Mcity ITS-V2X digital-twin PoC, 5GAA, and smart-grid GTM in France and the U.S. Earlier work spans avionics-grade systems, MNO go-to-market, O-RAN cross-portfolio plans, and hyperscaler partnerships. Mobile World Congress program leadership 2013–2016.

Founded Ronna-X LLC in 2026 to apply the same architecture-first lens — System of Systems, cooperative perception, federated testbeds, physical AI — to teams shipping autonomous mobility and industrial physical-AI programs.
