From Insights to Impact: Turning Data into Strategy

Q: How would you describe Kin Analytics' strategic position within the data analytics consulting market in Latin America? 
A: Our market position is quite distinct. While many data and analytics consultancies concentrate on implementing specific technologies and reinforcing a client's tech stack, we typically engage after that foundational work is complete. We help companies tell their stories through their data, and our primary interest lies not in building a data warehouse, although we have that capability, but in exploiting existing data to its fullest potential, operating a unique market layer and helping clients fully leverage their data for predictive analytics.

Q: Which sectors in Mexico show the greatest maturity or openness to advanced analytics solutions and what role does Kin Analytics play in that process? 
A: The financial industry, reflecting a broader trend across Latin America, has been a primary adopter of AI and analytics solutions. We have significant experience in this vertical, particularly in developing credit scoring models and advanced analytics in the United States. However, the consumer-packaged goods (CPG) and retail sectors present a particularly compelling opportunity. Unlike the finance world, which operates on established standards, the CPG landscape is constantly reshaped by the consumer. Our work here focuses on understanding the end consumer and anticipating their needs, providing our clients with the visibility required to serve them better.

Q: What indicators does the company use to measure the real impact of its solutions on clients' decision-making? 
A: Every solution we build is directly tied to one of two core objectives: increasing revenue or reducing costs. While the specific key performance indicators vary by project, our work always aligns with these fundamental business drivers. In CPG and retail, we concentrate on boosting revenue with minimal investment. This is achieved by enhancing the efficiency of commercial processes such as prospecting, ultra-segmentation, and campaign definition based on client potential. In the financial sector, our efforts are geared toward risk reduction by accurately profiling clients to determine future losses and optimize their financial models.

Q: What barriers do Mexican companies face when adopting your solutions? 
A: The main barrier is a lack of understanding around how AI and advanced analytics can be applied beyond surface-level use cases. Despite the hype surrounding Generative AI, many companies still view these technologies as abstract or disconnected from their core operations. It is often overlooked that 80% of a successful implementation lies in deeply grasping the client’s business model, operational challenges, and revenue drivers. Our biggest challenge is not technical; it is helping clients cut through the noise to see these solutions as strategic, not merely technical.

Q: What specific capabilities does AI Story Builder offer and how does it help convert complex data into strategic narratives for senior management? 
A: AI Story Builder translates enterprise data into actionable strategy by aligning predictive models with the client’s business context. We do not rely on generic LLMs; instead, we build customized models trained on specific business goals. The language agent that users interact with serves as just the front-end. Behind it lies a synchronized architecture of decision trees, predictive engines, and business logic. This allows senior executives to receive strategic recommendations, not just data outputs, via an intuitive interface that is fully integrated with their operational realities.

Q: How does the AI 5D Journey methodology adapt to projects with different levels of digital maturity or different organizational structures? 
A: The AI 5D Journey is designed to be agnostic to digital maturity. We begin with a detailed discovery phase to identify strategic priorities and end with a post-deployment support model that ensures continuous learning. Because our methodology emphasizes iterative refinement and business integration, it can scale regardless of the client’s technological baseline. Whether the implementation takes weeks or months, our goal is to build AI systems that evolve with the business, ensuring they remain relevant and valuable over time.

Q: What are the technical details behind Sports Analytics and how could it benefit Mexican sports institutions? 
A: Our Sports Analytics solutions, with a strong focus on soccer, are designed to capture the passion of the sport through data. We operate across three main layers. First is data collection: we use computer vision models to analyze gameplay to capture up to 3,000 specific actions in a single match, going far beyond simple metrics like passes. Second, we build a set of predictive and descriptive Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), many of which are proprietary, to analyze a team's performance with deep context. We do not just analyze what the team did; we benchmark it against the performance of champions. We ask a team what their goal is and then we show them the data profiles of past winners to build a custom game model. The third layer is data visualization, where we provide a real-time LLM-powered assistant for coaching staff. This tool allows the team to track KPIs during a match, evaluate player performance, and make strategic adjustments based on  statistical comparison against a winning model tailored for that specific opponent.

Q: What emerging trends in AI and machine learning will redefine how Mexican companies manage data? 
A: We see two key trends driving transformation. First, LLMs are reshaping user interfaces by replacing clicks with prompts, pushing all platforms toward natural language interactions. This shift requires enterprise tools to become more intuitive and conversational. Second, predictive modeling is becoming foundational, not just for demand planning, but also for forecasting customer behavior, product lifecycles, and operational outcomes across all functions. In the near future, companies that can predict with precision will gain a decisive edge in strategy execution.

Q: How would you assess the evolution of the data-driven decision-making culture within the Mexican business environment? 
A: Mexico's analytics culture feels more advanced than in many other parts of Latin America. This is largely due to the significant influx of venture capital and startups, which has accelerated the technological learning curve and reduced the adoption barriers that other countries are still struggling with. There is a deeper cultural understanding of what advanced analytics and machine learning are. This environment fosters healthy competition. The presence of numerous innovative companies compels all players, including traditional enterprises, to constantly raise their standards. This dynamic drives the entire market to continually develop better solutions for customers.

Q: What are Kin Analytics' expansion or consolidation priorities in Mexico and the region for the next year?
A: We have been operating globally for about 10 years, with a significant presence in the United States and projects across the European Union, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. We began exploring the Mexican market about a year and a half ago and were immediately impressed by its immense talent and potential. Mexico’s competitive and tech-forward culture challenge us to continuously improve. Consequently, we are making a significant commitment, investing US$1 million this year to build a solid foundation and establish ourselves as a local Mexican company. Our strategy is to bring our global expertise to Mexican enterprises while leveraging the market’s unique proximity to the consumer.

Q: What strategic alliances will you build to strengthen your position in the Mexican market?
A: Our primary focus in Mexico is the CPG market, which presents significant opportunities. To that end, we are actively seeking partnerships with technology firms that have already laid the technological groundwork where our solutions can deliver added value. We are also collaborating with consultancies the specialize in process optimization, governance, and digital transformation. We are entering the Mexican market at an ideal time, as many companies have already completed initial transformation efforts, making them more receptive to advanced solutions like ours.
