A composable methodology, engineered for hostile diligence.
KRYOS-DARPA, EARM, KRDS, GAER, and the Scenario Lab compose into a single defensible position on every recognized data asset. Each layer is built to be challenged.
Eight steps. Always running.
Discover
Forensic sweep of warehouses, lakes, SaaS, exhaust, logs, and shadow stores.
Catalogs, schemas, query logs, exhaust streams, vendor feeds.
Asset inventory with origin and steward.
In-scope, deferred, or out-of-scope per asset.
A single registry of what actually exists.
Five frameworks, one operating system.
Discovery, Asset Registry, Provenance & Authorization
The forensic discovery and control stack. Crawls the data estate, classifies every candidate asset, reconstructs provenance, and enforces authorized use.
Extended Asset Recognition Model
Decides what can be recognized as a data asset, on what measurement basis, with what impairment triggers, and what should be excluded.
KRYOS Reference Data-asset Valuation Standard
Composite valuation across cost, market, income, utility, AI contribution, obsolescence, risk, and option layers, expressed as a P10 / P50 / P90 band.
Governance, Assurance & External Review
Independent red-team challenge of valuations, rights posture, and recognition decisions before they leave the firm.
Scenario Simulation & Stress Lab
Stochastic and quantum-inspired simulation that produces explicit bands, sensitivity ranks, and trigger schedules - not single-point estimates.
The gated pipeline every asset traverses.
Data Asset Lifecycle Flow
From unmanaged exhaust to capital-ready asset. Blocked routes show what KRYOS withholds or excludes when evidence fails.
Evidence states are tagged, not assumed.
Evidence Tag Matrix
Distribution of evidence states across asset categories. KRYOS refuses to value assumed or unverified measurements - they must be repaired or withheld.
| CATEGORY | OBSERVED | DERIVED | BENCHMARKED | ASSUMED | UNVERIFIED | WITHHELD | EXCLUDED |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Customer Transactions | 68% | 18% | 6% | 4% | 2% | 1% | 1% |
| Device Telemetry | 74% | 12% | 4% | 3% | 5% | 1% | 1% |
| Workflow Exhaust | 22% | 28% | 6% | 12% | 18% | 9% | 5% |
| AI Training Corpus | 14% | 32% | 26% | 8% | 6% | 10% | 4% |
| RAG Vector Store | 8% | 44% | 14% | 10% | 12% | 8% | 4% |
| External Enrichment | 12% | 22% | 36% | 8% | 10% | 8% | 4% |
| Support Logs | 52% | 18% | 4% | 8% | 10% | 5% | 3% |
| Contracts & Consent | 78% | 6% | 4% | 4% | 2% | 4% | 2% |
Eight gates between an asset and recognition.
Rights & Compliance Gate
Each gate is a binary control. A failed gate routes the asset to repair, withhold, or exclude - never to a silent pass.
Lawful basis, purpose-binding, and data subject consent must be evidenced.
Every position is red-teamed before it leaves the firm.
Red-Team Risk Ledger
A live ledger of adversarial challenges run against every recognized asset before it leaves the firm.
What the methodology refuses to do.
No single-point valuations
Every value is expressed as a band with documented assumptions and dominant sensitivities.
No assumed rights
Lawful use, transferability, and monetization rights are evidenced, not asserted.
No unsupported claims
We do not claim quantum speedup. Simulation is labeled stochastic or quantum-inspired where credible.
No conflation of value
Current value, option value, and utility-in-use are reported separately.
Eight obligations every recognized asset clears.
Discover the asset
Forensic scan across systems, exhaust, telemetry, AI pipelines, and external feeds.
Prove the asset
Provenance, lineage, and evidence tags. No claim without an evidentiary basis.
Control the asset
Rights clearance, consent, lawful basis, and access enforcement at the asset level.
Value the asset
KRDS composite valuation expressed as P10·P50·P90 bands with documented sensitivities.
Create new assets
Fusion matrix builds composite assets from internal joins and external enrichments.
Productize the asset
Priced pathways, buyer mapping, and gross-margin envelopes for monetizable lines.
Stress-test the asset
Scenario fan, dominant-driver attribution, and impairment trigger schedules.
Capitalize the asset
Investor, M&A, lender, insurer, and board pack - assurance ledger included.
How the methodology protects against overclaims.
No invented values
If evidence is missing, the value is withheld. No fabricated point estimates.
Evidence tags on every assertion
OBSERVED, DERIVED, BENCHMARKED, WITHHELD, EXCLUDED - each appears on every claim.
Fail-closed gates
Recognition, rights, and disclosure stages fail closed. An asset progresses only when evidenced.
Current vs. option value, reported separately
Today's defensible value is never conflated with optionality or hypothetical fusion upside.
Legal permission vs. technical possibility
What the data can be used for is reported as a rights question, not an engineering question.
Monetizable vs. internal-only
Utility-in-use is separated from external revenue potential. Both are reported; neither is inflated.
Withheld and excluded assets are visible
The registry shows what was deliberately not recognized - and why.
External red-team review (GAER)
Every position is attacked by an independent team before it leaves the firm.
