Mission-critical engineering studio translating uncertainty into defensible decisions.

With expertise in electronic systems, space, and defence, we advise decision-makers on creating, acquiring, investing in and auditing mission-critical technology.

About

A new kind of advisory.

Right where traditional advisory meets its limits, Kano helps clients engage with complex technology following our Fabric™ method that fuses engineering and tech management knowledge into the decision lifecycle.

What we do

Create

Embark on your next mission-critical product knowing risks, strengths and gaps. Devise product families and platforms to increase commonality and reduce costs.

Acquire

Decide your next merger, acquisition, industrial partnership or joint venture in mission-critical technology with the best information at hand to ensure the highest returns.

Invest in

Back mission-critical technology knowing the product-market fit, risks and engineering maturity. Find the next hidden champion with an expert in the loop.

Audit

Inspect your current projects and stakes to assess progress and feasibility. Have an expert assisting you in technical intelligence (TECHINT), forensics, IP, and competition matters.
