Dataknobs is the platform that resolves the tradeoff between deep R&D and fast market validation. We provide the fastest, most reliable way to ship and prove trusted data products, taking you from raw data to user-facing applications and governed scale.

The Industry Challenge: R&D vs. Speed

Today's teams face a core problem: a tradeoff between in-depth, upfront R&D and the need for fast market validation. As the Harvard Business Review notes:

“Data products generally require validation both of whether the algorithm works, and of whether users like it... builders... face an inherent tension between how much to invest in the R&D upfront and how quickly to get the application out to validate that it solves a core need”.

The result is failure. Many data products are either over-engineered before their value is ever tested with users, or they are shipped too quickly without the necessary quality and governance.

The Dataknobs Solution: Closing the Tension Gap

Dataknobs provides a unified platform built on three pillars—Kreate, Knobs, and Kontrols—to resolve this tension. We enable rapid prototyping with governance built-in from the start, allowing you to validate both algorithmic correctness and user experience at scale.

1. Kreate → Rapid Creation

The Kreate pillar accelerates your speed-to-market by reducing upfront development costs and focusing on the rapid creation of data signals, insights, and interfaces. We use GenAI and Agentic AI across the Kreate stack to help you build:

Data Products: Combine raw data to build meaningful "chocolate bars" of data, create summaries, and generate insights.
Websites & Interfaces: Generate webpages and user interfaces based on your data stories. This includes KreateCMS, our innovative SaaS platform for seamless human and AI collaboration in content creation. KreateCMS is built with a cloud-first design and features content lineage, multi-destination repurposing, and advanced vector search capabilities.
AI Assistants & Bots: Build assistants that can answer questions from your data, powered by LLMs and RAG.

2. Knobs → Experimentation & Diagnostics

The Knobs pillar, also known as the DataKnobs Suite, is the control panel for intelligent experimentation. It enables diagnostics and experimentation on all Kreate-built products, empowering you to validate both algorithm performance and user adoption. It creates a continuous loop of experimentation, diagnosis, and evaluation through three key products:

ABExperiment: Run, compare, and optimize your AI and ML experiments with precision. This experimentation platform provides experiment orchestration, dynamic parameter "knobs", and a built-in statistical significance engine.
KnobScope: See inside your AI systems and understand why models behave the way they do. This diagnostics tool provides end-to-end tracing, error attribution, and behavioral profiling to turn your "black box into a glass box".
ResultBench: Measure what matters by evaluating your models and experiments with consistency. It provides a benchmark repository and supports both quantitative (e.g., accuracy) and qualitative (e.g., LLM-as-judge) evaluation.

3. Kontrols → Governance & Trust

The Kontrols pillar is the governance fabric for your intelligent systems. It is embedded across the Kreate pillar to ensure every validation cycle is safe, reliable, and sustainable. The Kontrols Suite keeps your AI compliant, predictable, and under control by providing a layered defense framework:

GateKeep (Input Layer): This acts as the front door to your AI system. It validates and filters what gets in, stripping unsafe instructions, detecting prompt injection attempts, and enforcing access policies.
Enforcer (Execution Layer): This provides "in-flight governance" to keep your AI on track. It governs what your AI does in real time, such as enforcing custom runtime rules, limiting costs, or blocking restricted actions.
Shield (Output Layer): This acts as the final checkpoint to protect your users and brand. It filters, redacts, and moderates all responses, checking for toxicity, factuality, and sensitive data before delivery.

Why Dataknobs?

Dataknobs is the only platform that unifies rapid creation, deep experimentation, and embedded governance.

Fast + Safe: We deliver rapid prototyping with built-in governance.
Validation at Scale: Our integrated experimentation closes the loop on both algorithmic correctness and user experience.
A Complete Factory: We manage the full lifecycle: From raw data → insights → user-facing applications → governed scale.
