Selected work & owned IP

Mandates, platforms, IP and ventures—properly labelled.

This selected view distinguishes client mandates from Kryterion-owned programme IP, Kryterion-convened institutional platforms and owned or group-linked operating ventures.

Client mandate

DICON Evolution Strategy 2030

DICON institutional programme

Strategy into institutional momentum.

Kryterion’s mandate has included strategic support to the Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria around institutional transformation, Evolution Strategy 2030 and the architecture of the DICON 60th-anniversary milestone.

Mandate/IP distinction: DICON @60 provided the inaugural launch environment for the Africa Defence Industries Conference and Defence Innovation Challenge. Kryterion owns those underlying programme IPs; DICON remains owner of its institutional name, marks and contributions. This case study does not imply procurement authority or representation beyond written mandates.

Defence Futures Lab

A pathway, not a showcase.

Defence Futures Lab was designed to connect defence priorities to screened technologies, responsible governance, pilots and implementation commitments.

Discover

Map stakeholders and define real capability problems rather than start with products.

02

Screen

Qualify products, teams, evidence, security, ownership and institutional fit.

03

Convene

Use working sessions and controlled Deal Rooms to align users, makers, partners and capital.

04

Pilot

Translate interest into a defined 90-to-180-day implementation pathway.

Venture building & operations

Building beyond advisory.

The wider ecosystem includes owned and founder-led ventures where P⁴I is applied to products, talent, intellectual property, physical operations and commercial scale.

Hospitality

Rich-Bridge Hotels

Kryterion-owned operating venture with a flagship Abuja location and a planned pathway to additional locations. Positioned as a distinct hospitality brand, not a new core sector.

Music

Martial Records

Artist development, repertoire, publishing, audience and venture economics built as an integrated operating system.

Technology

SheCode.ai

AI-era product building, diagnostics, identity and pathways for women and girls across Africa.

Infrastructure
