CALGARY, AB & BELLEVUE, WA — September 18th, 2025 — brs (Bow River Solutions), a leading provider of end-to-end data consulting with a strong focus on data security, privacy, and governance, and Data², a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned analytics and AI company specializing in explainable, hallucination-resistant generative AI, today announced a strategic partnership to deliver transparent, AI-powered analytics solutions for industries facing complex regulatory and operational challenges.

This collaboration combines brs’ expertise in Data Analytics and Business Intelligence with Data²’s patented explainable AI and graph-enabled retrieval technology. Together, the companies will provide organizations across energy, manufacturing, government, and financial services with faster, more reliable insights that are fully auditable and compliant.

“Over the past year, brs has prioritized 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.”

 

Data²’s reView platform provides explainable AI by linking every AI-generated response back to its underlying data sources through knowledge graph relationships. This enables decision-makers to understand, verify, and trust their insights — an essential capability in regulated environments.

“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,” said Jon Brewton, CEO and co-founder of Data².

The joint offering will initially focus on use cases such as:

  • Predictive maintenance and anomaly detection enhanced by graph-augmented generative explanations
  • ESG and sustainability reporting with fully auditable AI narratives
  • Supply chain risk and forensic analysis with traceable reasoning
  • Compliance and regulatory reporting with transparent AI support

The partnership will launch with clients in Western Canada and the U.S. Pacific Northwest, where brs already serves a growing portfolio. Expansion across North America will follow, targeting energy, government, and other high-trust regulated industries.
