Four lines every AI investment must answer to
We help boards, investors and enterprise leaders translate artificial intelligence into measurable improvements in revenue, operating costs, capital efficiency and risk, while maintaining responsible human oversight.
Revenue growth
Conversion, pricing, retention and new services that AI makes possible, counted as gross profit, not headline revenue.
- Revenue growth
- Conversion improvement
- Customer retention
- Gross profit contribution
Operating cost efficiency
Hours, handoffs and rework removed from core processes, net of the full cost of running and supervising AI.
- Cost per transaction
- Process operating costs
- Productivity gains
- Verified expense reductions
Capital productivity
Cash released from inventory, receivables and work in progress, and better returns on the assets already owned.
- Working capital
- Inventory efficiency
- Receivables
- Asset utilisation
Risk reduction
Fewer losses, errors, incidents and compliance failures, counted only when there is evidence to show it.
- Expected operating losses
- Error and remediation costs
- Compliance-related exposure
- Control effectiveness
Diagnose, quantify, govern, measure
Three proprietary frameworks, used in sequence. Each stage is labelled for what it produces, so readiness, estimated opportunity and realised results are never confused.

Grounded in each sector's economics
Each industry page sets out common challenges, AI opportunities by ledger category, readiness barriers, governance points and a suggested engagement.
Advisory across borders
Kiros Intelligence Group is based in Asia-Pacific and advises organisations with interests across the region and in selected international markets.
A senior core team
Every engagement is led by a Kiros partner who stays accountable for the work from first conversation to final report.
Partner-enabled delivery
We assemble specialist collaborators from our network of independent experts in research, technology and industry, across Asia-Pacific, the United States and Europe, as each engagement requires.
Local context
We work alongside your own advisers and counsel on local regulation, and draw on regional and international guidance to set a consistent standard.
We describe our network as it is: we do not claim offices, staff or formal partnerships we do not have.
Research behind our advice
Industry briefs from KIG Research, each connected to the value pathways and governance questions in our methodology.
Financial Services in the Age of Agency
Banks, insurers and wealth managers are now letting AI agents carry out work, not just advise on it, so the advantage will go to firms that redesign delegation, accountability and controls before regulators set the rules for them.

What we stand for
Independent
Our advice is our own. Where we hold an interest in a company relevant to a client, we disclose it in writing.
Evidence over hype
We make claims we can support, and we expect the same of the technology we recommend.
Practitioners
We found and back AI companies, so we know what it takes to make AI work.
Discreet
Client work stays confidential. We publish research, not our clients' affairs.
Start with an executive conversation
A confidential discussion of your priorities, and where AI could move the numbers in your business.
