Bow River & Data Squared team up for auditable AI analytics
Bow River Solutions and Data Squared have announced a strategic partnership to deliver transparent, auditable AI analytics solutions for Bow River Solutions' customers in regulated industries across North America.
Calgary-based Bow River Solutions provides data consulting with an emphasis on data security, privacy and governance, while US-based Data Squared develops explainable, hallucination-resistant AI technologies. The companies will combine their respective strengths to offer industries such as energy, manufacturing, government, and financial services analytics solutions with verified and fully traceable results.
Partnership details
At the centre of the partnership is Data Squared's reView platform, which uses knowledge-graph relationships to link each AI-generated response back to its original data sources. This approach is intended to allow organisations to verify and trust their AI-driven insights, a capability that Bow River Solutions sees as critical for those navigating complex regulatory frameworks and environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting requirements.
Among the initial use cases for the joint offering are ESG and sustainability reporting with auditable AI narratives, predictive maintenance and anomaly detection with graph-augmented generative explanations, supply chain risk assessment, and compliance reporting supported by transparent AI.
Remarks from leadership
"Over the past year, brs has prioritised collaborating with top-tier innovators, and Data2's exceptional executive and technical team exemplifies this standard. We are excited to join forces and drive transformative success together," said Mathew Bruneau, Managing Partner at brs, "A special thank you to Jon, Kerynn, Eric, and the entire Data2 team for their vision and commitment to this partnership."
Jon Brewton, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Data Squared, said: "Our mission at Data2 is to close the trust gap in AI by building systems that explain themselves. Partnering with brs allows us to bring the reVIEW platform to even more businesses that want to solve their toughest data challenges. This partnership ensures companies can have full confidence and trust in how those solutions are reached."
Initial rollout and expansion
The companies will first launch their offering with clients in Western Canada and the US Pacific Northwest. Bow River Solutions currently has an established client base in these regions. Plans for further expansion across North America will target sectors with a need for high levels of data trust and regulatory compliance, such as energy, government, and financial services.
Bow River Solutions cites experience in data analytics and business intelligence, along with expertise in Microsoft Power BI and Microsoft Azure technologies. Data Squared emphasises its background as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business focused on evidence-grounded, explainable AI to meet the demands of high-trust and regulated environments.
The companies say their collaboration will support clients aiming to meet compliance standards and transparency requirements as regulatory expectations for AI explainability continue to evolve.
