Is the ecosystem control plane right for your organisation?
A structured evaluation guide to help you determine whether Raidiam Connect is the right investment — and how to scope, justify, and plan the deployment.
Everything you need to evaluate Raidiam
Understand the category
Raidiam Connect is not an API gateway or IAM platform. It is a ecosystem control plane. Understanding this distinction is the first step to evaluating it correctly.
Route API traffic. Connect does not do this.
Authenticate users. Connect does not do this.
Manage consent lifecycle. Connect does not do this.
Governs trust relationships, participant identity, certificates, and policy across organisational boundaries
Works alongside all of the above.
Map your requirements
Use this checklist to determine which capabilities you need from your trust infrastructure.

The real question: keep rebuilding, or build the foundations once?
Your API gateway routes traffic. Your IAM authenticates users. Neither manages trust between organisations, issues certificates, tests conformance, or governs participant lifecycle. That's a different discipline — and it's a permanent commitment, not a project.
The build cost
Directory. PKI. Registration authority. Onboarding. Conformance testing. Metadata publication. Shared signals. Budget 18–24 months if you’re good. Staff a team of 6–10 specialists.
This is the part everyone plans for. This is the easy part.
The operating cost
HSM key ceremonies every quarter. Certificate rotation across hundreds of participants. Conformance profiles updated every time a standard evolves. OCSP responders that must never go down. Shared signals that must propagate in real-time. A 24/7 on-call team for infrastructure your entire ecosystem depends on.
By Year 3, you’ll have expired certificates in production and a team maintaining infrastructure instead of building product.
This is the part nobody plans for — and it never ends.
The opportunity cost
Every engineer maintaining your trust infrastructure is an engineer not building your product. Every security review of your CA is a review not spent on your application. Every conformance update is a sprint not spent on customer value.
This cost compounds every quarter and never stops.
Raidiam has operated trust infrastructure for a decade — including Brazil's open finance ecosystem: 159 banks, 100 billion+ API calls, zero security incidents. We turn your three costs into one line item and give you back the team. Start at year 10.
Where will your ecosystem take you?
Whether you're a regulator building a national digital economy, an enterprise platformising across brands and clouds, or a bank that wants to stop rebuilding trust for every new use case — there's a next step.
