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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A one-day intensive for an exec or program team that wants the cross-vertical architecture made actionable in their context. Structured Q&A, scenario walk-through, ecosystem orientation.
A focused architecture-and-GTM review for a specific program (SDV pilot, V2X corridor, vertiport operator stack, humanoid deployment). Where are the moats? Where is the topology debt? Who should you partner with?
Full GTM-to-pilot scope — the end-to-end output a program team can take to commit. Strategy, playbook, partner contracts framework, pilot architecture, validation plan, KPI framework. Where Ronna-X most directly bridges thesis to deployment.
Embedded at ~1 day/week with the product, strategy, or program-management team. On-call for exec working sessions, deal reviews, partner conversations, board-prep memos. Best for programs already in motion needing senior architectural judgment continuously.
The Ronna-X industry-reference series. Each volume develops a cross-domain architectural thesis with operator-side framing. Published as standalone executive briefs, LinkedIn anchor posts, and downloadable PDFs.
The cross-vertical thesis: SDV, AAM, and Robotics share the same topology (System 1 reactive + System 2 predictive + Cooperative Perception commons) but require different infrastructure. The L4+ unlock is the coupling of all three across cars, robots, and aircraft. Includes the three architectural schools, Houston regional spotlight, and six paths forward.
The first Ronna-X volume: on-prem and edge AI as the credible path for industrial physical-AI deployment. Key Performance Validation (KPV), non-intrusive edge attestation, SoS lens for manufacturing and energy operators.
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.
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 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.
Independent practice — not affiliated with or endorsed by any prior employer. Engagements are direct contracts with Ronna-X LLC; references and detailed program history available on request under NDA.
No sales sequence. No pitch deck. A short call to see whether the topology lines up and whether an engagement makes sense. If it doesn't, you keep the brief and the conversation; if it does, you get a 1-page SoW within 48 hours.
