Business Intelligence Companies & Consultants in Carson City, NV

Kategos.ai is an AI advisory and engineering company based in Carson City, Nevada. It works with mid-sized and large organizations, especially those in regulated, compliance-heavy settings, that want to use their own data with artificial intelligence while keeping strict control over who can see what. For buyers comparing Business Intelligence vendors, the company combines consulting, data integration work and its own governance software. The aim is to give leadership trustworthy, traceable answers drawn from company systems.

Analytics and Data Services

At the center of its BI offering is a data unification service. Kategos connects CRM, ERP and finance applications into one consolidated data layer that can feed both reporting tools and AI models. Typical outputs include a map of the unified data architecture, automated ETL/ELT pipelines and forward-looking dashboards for executives.

Related work covers infrastructure and cloud audits to reduce technical debt, secure hosting environments for proprietary models with isolated data, and governance protocols from end to end. Its broader service list includes:

• AI-first strategic planning with three-to-five-year roadmaps and OKR frameworks linked to ROI
• Independent executive and board advisory on AI investment and technical risk
• Operations reviews that find manual bottlenecks and redesign workflows
• Workforce adoption programs, including workshops and role-based upskilling
• Marketing analytics, such as attribution modeling, automated segmentation and CAC/LTV analysis
• Web and application engineering with API integrations, plus brand strategy and paid search management

The VOS Platform

Kategos also builds VOS, a governance and orchestration platform that is currently in a private pilot. Its layers cover policy and risk settings, data lineage and provenance, agent coordination with cost-aware model selection, a verification layer that checks claims and keeps audit records, and a feedback loop for measuring outcomes and escalating issues to people.

The design focuses on permission-aware access, so each user sees only the information they are authorized to view, and on recording every query and action. The company also offers an AI Readiness Assessment and KAI, a conversational assistant on its website.

How Kategos Works With Clients

Engagements are scoped to each client's team and stage. They start with a brief discovery phase and an agreed, measurable target. Kategos says it sets the deliverables, outcomes and pricing in writing before a client commits.

It links each deployment to a specific operating metric, such as a shorter process cycle or a cost reduction, before development starts, and it stays involved until the system is actually in use.

Its engineering principles include keeping client data within the customer's own VPC or on-premises environment, retaining no client data on third-party systems, and producing human-readable logs for audit and security teams.

Team and Background

The firm is led by founder and CEO Puneet Kalia, who oversees business development and makes sure technical work matches client goals and risk requirements. Strategic advisor Vishnu Datla guides systems architecture and data pipeline design. Lana Schuler sits on the advisory board and contributes product leadership experience in responsible AI and privacy-first design.

Kategos also publishes articles, case studies, research papers and a podcast on enterprise AI economics. This makes it a fit for buyers who want BI modernization that is tied closely to governance and AI readiness.
