About Kuinji

WHO WE ARE

We help enterprise leaders innovate faster without sacrificing governance. From 18 corporate innovation initiatives, we learned one pattern: projects that succeeded locked success metrics upfront. Projects that failed redefined success mid-delivery.

We exist to force that alignment before work starts. Your CFO, CTO, Chief Procurement, and General Counsel get on the same page about what "done" means. Then we execute against agreed criteria. No surprises.

Kuinji team collaborating in modern office

Pilots approved in 4 weeks (industry average: 8-12 weeks)

How We're Different

1. We Understand Enterprise Governance (Not From a Textbook)

The stereotype: Enterprise is slow because enterprises are bureaucratic.
The reality: Enterprise is slow because nobody synchronized decision-making upfront.

We've worked inside Fortune 500 governance processes (not just sold to them). We know:

  • When the board meets and what they need to approve a project
  • Why procurement takes 8 weeks (it's not stupidity; it's risk management)
  • How to present to CFOs so they actually say yes instead of "let's revisit next quarter"
  • The difference between a steering committee that's aligned and one that's pretending to agree

What this means for you:

  • • Your pilot gets approved in 4 weeks because we've aligned all stakeholders upfront
  • • Your implementation stays on track because we built governance checkpoints
  • • Your ROI lands on time because we didn't over-promise in week 1

2. We Operate as Your Extension (Not a Vendor Drop-In)

The old model: Consulting firm flies in. Does stuff. Leaves. You figure out implementation.

Our model: We embed into your team for 6+ months. We become part of your organization.

This isn't "embedded consultants" (expensive theater). This is:

  • Your innovation team includes our engineers (same Slack, same daily standups, same goals)
  • Your steering committee includes our leadership (same governance review process)
  • Your success metrics are our metrics (we're paid 30% upfront, 70% on KPI delivery)

3. We Have Worked at Scale (Not Just in Theory)

We're not:

  • • Consultants who read about enterprise processes
  • • Founders who've never shipped a large product
  • • SaaS operators who've only dealt with self-serve customers
  • • Technologists who've never sat in a board meeting

We are:

  • • People who've led innovation in $10B+ enterprises
  • • Engineers who've deployed systems with 99.99% uptime
  • • Decision-makers who've sat across from CFOs during budget cuts
  • • Operators who've seen what works (and what's always snake oil)

4. We Get Paid on Outcomes (Not Hours)

Traditional consulting: You pay by the week. Longer projects = more money. Perverse incentive.

Kuinji model: 30% upfront (for planning and initial work), 70% only on verified KPI delivery.

This is ruthless alignment:

  • We will not staff your project with junior people
  • We will not over-scope (that extends timeline and costs us money)
  • We WILL cut scope ruthlessly (that gets you to results faster)
  • We stay until ROI is verified (because we don't get paid until it is)

Proof We Know What We're Doing

Real Data from Real Projects

We've delivered across 18 enterprise innovation initiatives:

Who You're Actually Working With

We're not a faceless consulting firm. You know who you're working with because they're embedded in your organization.

Core Team Background

  • Founders: 20+ years combined in enterprise AI infrastructure, governance, and innovation
  • Delivery team: 40+ years combined in regulated industries (finance, healthcare, energy)
  • Advisory network: 800+ senior decision-makers from Fortune 500 companies (via Innovators Guild)

Typical team deployed to your project:

  • 1 Delivery Lead (10+ years in enterprise innovation)
  • 2-3 Senior Engineers (AI infrastructure specialists)
  • 1 Program Manager (keeps governance on track)
  • 1 Finance Advisor (ensures ROI is real, not marketing math)

What We Actually Take Seriously

We Take Seriously:

  • Your outcomes (ROI happens or we don't get paid)
  • Your governance (we embed INTO it, not around it)
  • Your team's capability (we transfer knowledge)
  • Your risk tolerance (we understand regulated industries)
  • Your timeline (we deliver against corporate procurement cycles)

We Don't Take Seriously:

  • Our own marketing (we tell you what we actually do)
  • Pretending we're bigger than we are
  • Overpromising (we tell you upfront if something isn't a fit)
  • Sunk-cost fallacy (if it's not working by week 6, we kill it)
  • Vendor lock-in (we use open-source tools and standards)
