Pick the surface

API, benchmark, index, embeddable widget, clean-room enclave. The choice is driven by counterparty risk, rights envelope, and the unit economics of distribution.

Productization gate

Nothing ships without rights clearance, warranty posture, support plan, and a price corridor. The gate is non-negotiable.

Distribution architecture

Direct, marketplace, partner, or enclave. Each carries its own metering, SLA, and revenue recognition profile.

Frequently asked

Questions buyers actually ask.

Do we need a product team to start?

No. The first one or two products usually ship out of the platform team with KRYOS handling productization.

Can a benchmark be open while the underlying data is private?

Yes. Benchmark publication is one of the safest external surfaces.

What about pricing?

A price corridor is set against the band's P50 and the elasticity of the chosen distribution surface.

How do we handle support?

A defined support plan, SLA, and deprecation policy are part of the productization gate.

Engagement

Begin with a forensic data asset assessment.

A focused engagement that maps your data estate, scores assets against KRYOS frameworks, and produces a board-ready brief on what to recognize, value, productize, and capitalize.
