Security & escrow
Built so no one has to trust anyone.
A store sale moves six figures between strangers. Kairos is designed so the process carries the trust - not the buyer, not the seller, and not us.
Read-only, or it does not connect
Sellers link Shopify and Google Ads through read-only APIs. Kairos can look at orders and spend to verify them - it can never touch the store, the products, or the money. Disconnecting takes one click on either end.
Licensed third-party escrow
The buyer never wires the seller directly. Funds sit with a licensed escrow partner while the handover runs on a checklist, and they release only when the transfer is actually done.
NDA-gated numbers, leak-traced
Full financials unlock only after a buyer signs the NDA. Every unlocked document is fingerprinted to the buyer who received it - if a memo leaks, we know which copy it was.
Everything on the record
Unlocks, offers, approvals, payouts - every sensitive action lands in an append-only audit log. Disputes get settled by reading what happened, not by arguing about it.
Verification does not go stale
Verified listings are re-checked against their live data every week. If the numbers drift from what was proven, the tier drops - automatically.
Gold cannot be bought or faked
The gold mark is reserved for states proven from real store data. A self-reported number stays amber no matter who the seller is. That rule is enforced in the design system itself.
Follow the money
Five stations. No shortcuts.
The full escrow path of a Kairos deal. The seller gets paid at station five - never at station one.

Both sides sign the structured offer.
Funds in escrow
The buyer pays the licensed escrow partner, not the seller.
Store transferred
Shopify, domain, suppliers - handed over on a checklist.
