Frequently asked questions

RIOS -- Rogue Intelligence Operating Systems -- is a canine research and development company. Its active operating product is RIOS Canine Professionals OS, which helps canine organizations run daily work and build structured, longitudinal knowledge from it.

RIOS is canine-only. It connects three engines: Institute Services, Platform & Network, and Field Lab & Academy. Training, software, trainer development, field testing, working-dog work, and bounded product experiments all serve the same learning network.

The Field Lab is a proposed climate-controlled mobile canine training, observation and instruction platform. The plan starts with portable residencies and rentals; a van is purchased only after demand, payload, upfit, animal-welfare, insurance, funding and utilization gates are met.

No. The base plan includes no vessel purchase, refit, vessel debt or parent guarantee. Any coastal education or field work would use qualified operators, lawful charters and approved partners under a separately reviewed program plan.

RIOS Canine Professionals OS is designed for professional canine organizations and the clients they serve. A single-discipline trainer and a multi-discipline organization can use the same platform with access to the surfaces enabled for that organization. Enabling a surface does not mean its pack is launch-complete; release readiness is assessed one pack at a time.

Not by default. Database row-level security blocks ordinary cross-organization reads instead of relying on application filters. An organization can read another organization's client or dog information only through an explicit, bounded sharing path, such as a revocable profile share authorized by a client for one event host. That sharing path excludes prices and financial records. Public directory and organization pages expose only designated public content.

Yes -- a verified custom domain serves your business's own public page and client portal directly. Your staff area stays reachable only through RIOS's own address, never through your public domain, by design.

Through the company directory, a direct link to your own page, or your own custom domain once one is verified. You control whether your organization appears in the directory from your marketing settings.

No all-or-nothing migration is required. Authorized staff can add new clients and dogs from the staff roster, while a staff-reviewed Record Bridge import can bring in a bounded record package. Organization signup and Marketing serve separate setup and public-site purposes; they are not client-intake tools.

A first-pass estimate: Starter is $89/month (1 pack, 1 location), Growth is $189/month (1 pack, up to 3 locations), each additional pack is +$59/month, each additional location beyond a tier is +$49/month, and Enterprise (3+ packs, 4+ locations, or multiple legal entities) starts near $599/month. This is a pricing estimate, not a locked commercial decision -- see the Investors page for the full breakdown.

No. A review can only be written by a person with a real, registered client membership at that business -- there is no path in RIOS for staff to write one, import one, or edit one after it posts. Every published review carries a verified badge a visitor can click to see exactly what that guarantees. Staff can reply publicly or hide a review that violates policy, but the rating, title and body are never editable by anyone once posted.

That's the point, not an edge case. A trainer who also grooms and shows dogs can use one organization with shared client, dog, and ledger records instead of creating a separate data store for each discipline.

A governed canine learning network that connects real field work, longitudinal operating records, trainer development and bounded product experiments. The roadmap expands from portable residencies to a Field Lab, partner venues and only then a possible hub or campus, with each step gated by evidence.
