Telos Intelligence
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.
See Our Approach →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 Platform Deployment
A private AI workspace on your infrastructure, connected to the best frontier models and your actual data. Your team gets enterprise-grade AI — on your servers, in your control, in under 45 days.
Learn MoreAI Roadmap & Use Case Design
A prioritized AI roadmap with ROI-scored use cases, business cases, and implementation guides. Finally — a clear answer to "where do we start with AI?"
Learn MoreAI Implementation Partnership
We become your AI department. We build, deploy, and measure AI products across your highest-priority use cases — and leave your team stronger than we found them.
Learn MoreA 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?" Now that answer is codified. And we bring it to every engagement.
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.
