KNOWIDEA Launches VeriPIE 1.0 to Reduce Decision Risk with Verified AI Predictions

The Verified Predictive Intelligence Engine is available today and already in use at oil and gas producers, financial institutions and manufacturers.

TORONTO, October 6, 2026 — KNOWIDEA today launched VeriPIE 1.0, the Verified Predictive Intelligence Engine. VeriPIE connects to a company's existing systems, predicts what happens next and what it is worth, and verifies every number in the recommendation.

VeriPIE 1.0 is available today in the KNOWIDEA platform. Parts of the engine are in production with a Fortune 500 oil and gas producer, a global financial institution and an industrial manufacturer.

Why decisions carry hidden risk

Most companies decide using dashboards that describe the past, consulting reports that take eight to twelve weeks and cannot be traced once the team leaves, or AI answers that are right most of the time. When a decision rests on a number no one can check, the risk sits with the executive who signs it.

How VeriPIE works

VeriPIE runs the same five steps on every question:

  1. 1
    Information. Connects ERP, finance, operations and CRM data with external benchmarks.
  2. 2
    Insight. Finds the drivers of the number in question.
  3. 3
    Prediction. Forecasts each option, assigns an expected value and discards predictions that fail against company or market evidence.
  4. 4
    Intelligence. Weighs each prediction against the company's risk tolerance.
  5. 5
    Decision. Delivers a recommendation with the judgments that need a human owner marked.

Each number traces to its source system, table, rows and dates. Claims that can be checked exactly are checked by code, not by another model. When the evidence is missing, VeriPIE does not issue a verified recommendation and names the missing input.

What it looks like in practice

In one example, a 4.2% gross margin decline is split into three drivers. VeriPIE rules out three of four candidate explanations and recommends the corrective option with the highest expected value at the company's risk level.

DriverShare of the decline
Price realization46%
Cost to serve32%
Product mix22%

For financial data, VeriPIE reached 70% accuracy against a 65.4% baseline on the Spider and BIRD text-to-SQL benchmarks.

From the founders

“Every major decision is a prediction. The question is whether you can prove it before you bet the company on it. Consultants give you an opinion, dashboards give you the past, and AI gives you an answer you cannot check. VeriPIE gives you the future with the working shown. The unit of intelligence is an accountable decision, and that is what we build.”

Yatharth Sejpal, Co-founder and CEO

“Prediction without verification is a guess with better formatting. VeriPIE makes the forecast, then proves every part of it that can be proven, and names the part that cannot. That is what lets an executive act on it.”

Brian Zhengyu Li, Co-founder and CTO

VeriPIE sits on top of the ERP, data warehouse and BI tools a company already owns. To see it on your own data, bring one decision to a 30-minute session at knowidea.dev.
