Where AI Creates
Real Value
We help mid-market SaaS and CPG companies turn AI pilots into production-grade products — measured in dollars, not demos.
Is your company getting the best out of their AI investment?
Most mid-market companies have tried AI. They're using ChatGPT, rolling out Copilot, running pilots. A few have impressive demos.
But 59% of companies cannot prove measurable productivity gains from their AI initiatives. And almost none have tied their AI spend to a dollar outcome their leadership team can point to.
The technology isn't the problem. The missing product management layer is.
We don't build AI. We build AI that works.
Telos Intelligence applies PM discipline to every AI initiative — starting with the business problem, not the technology. Every engagement ends with a dollar-denominated ROI target set in advance and measured against a baseline we document before work begins.
Purposeful AI
Every initiative starts with a defined problem and a measurable outcome. We never recommend a technology before understanding the business case.
PM-First Methodology
Structured intake. Prioritized roadmap. UAT before production. Adoption champion program. 30/60/90-day ROI checkpoints. This is how AI products actually get used.
Built to Last
We build for your team to own it. Every engagement ends with documentation, knowledge transfer, and a client that doesn't need us anymore.
Choose the engagement that matches where you are.
From foundation to full implementation — every layer uses the same PM-first methodology.

AI Implementation Partnership
A framework built and tested inside a $1B revenue SaaS company.
The Telos methodology wasn't developed in a workshop or a whitepaper. It was built in the field — managing AI products across a complex, multi-product SaaS environment with real revenue on the line, real stakeholders to align, and real deadlines to hit.
Every step in our framework — from problem definition to 90-day ROI measurement — was pressure-tested against the hardest question in enterprise AI: "How do we know this is actually working?"
Not a big firm. Not a vendor. A partner.
Telos Intelligence was founded by Rodrigo Rivera — a data scientist turned startup founder turned AI product manager. Over the past decade, Rodrigo has built AI products that saved tens of millions of dollars, founded and sold a startup, and managed AI initiatives at scale inside a complex global SaaS company.
Telos exists because the gap between AI potential and AI execution is a product management problem — and most companies facing it don't have a PM who specializes in AI adoption. We're that partner.
Meet the Team →Purposeful
We don't build AI for the sake of AI. Every initiative has a defined problem and a dollar outcome.
Honest
If AI isn't the right solution for your problem, we'll tell you. Even if that means a smaller engagement.
Durable
We build for your team to own. Our exit is planned from day one.
Direct
No padding, no jargon, no consulting theater. We say what we mean.
Ready to make AI work?
Every engagement starts with a 30-minute discovery call. No pitch deck. No sales team. Just a direct conversation about your highest-value AI opportunity — and whether Telos is the right partner to pursue it.
