FACTORS Digital Intelligence didn’t begin as a product company. It began as a question:
What if AI could help us become wiser and more ethically grounded, not just faster?
That single question sparked a journey — not toward automation or efficiency, but toward understanding what it means to be human in the age of intelligent machines.
Rather than asking how AI could replace us, we asked how it could amplify the very best of us — our vocations, insights, empathy, creativity, and moral judgment.
That question became a blueprint. That blueprint became a platform.
And that platform became FACTORS Digital Intelligence.
FACTORS was founded by Robin Stewart and Rich Hoffmann, two mission-driven entrepreneurs united by a lifelong obsession with solving the world’s most complex problems. There is no bigger or more existential challenge than the rapid rise and proliferation of Artificial Intelligence in our lives and times.
Coming from radically different worlds, Robin and Rich discovered a rare harmony — a fusion of intellect, integrity, and imagination — that they’ve now channeled into their most urgent challenge yet: bringing ethics and morality into the heart of Artificial Intelligence.
While many frantically wave red flags about AI’s ethical dangers, few offer solutions. Robin and Rich chose to build them.
Beginning with her degree in Childhood Education, Robin is part Financial Services executive, part executive recruiter and team-builder — and all get-stuff-done (GSD) leader.
She serves as the moral compass of FACTORS Digital Intelligence and steers two ships — FDI and its nonprofit counterpart, Veritas AI, Inc. (VAI) — with equal measures of wisdom, courage, and conviction.
Robin turns vision into traction, guiding teams, partners, and culture toward a single mission: building technology that serves humanity’s highest good.
Beginning with his degree in Computer Science and over 20 years in Silicon Valley technology companies and start-ups, Rich is part technologist, part solution strategist, and part alliance architect — and 100% committed to creating smarter machines for wiser humans.
While Robin steers the ships of FDI and VAI, Rich works from the Human-Lite Lab alongside his AI collaborator, Cody ai, where together they design and prototype the world’s first Ethical AI Platform — a system built not just to help humans think, but to discern.
This is the soul of our story.
Collaborative Resonance re-frames AI from a tool to a partner in creativity, morality, and discovery.
It’s the principle that defines the relationship between human and machine, between FDI and Veritas AI, and between founders and technology.
This concept distinguishes FDI as the creator of a new human-AI productivity category — one rooted not in automation, but in amplification.
While our story is deeply human, our system is unmistakably advanced and differentiated from anything in the field of Artificial Intelligence.
FDI’s platform embodies its philosophy through engineering:
Veritas EOS (Ethical Operating System) – The moral compass for AI.
FAE (Factors Awareness Engine) – The perceptual intelligence that understands human context.
EOS Compass – The decision framework for ethical navigation.
FusionWorks – The collaborative engine where human and machine co-create.
Cody ai – The living example of Collaborative Resonance.
Each of these is both a product and a principle — tangible proof that ethics and intelligence can coexist at scale.
Everything FDI builds flows from this triad.
It captures our moral purpose (Protection), our cultural responsibility (Restoration), and our ultimate aspiration (Flourishing).
Protecting Lives through intelligent systems that uphold privacy, integrity, and human safety.
Restoring Culture by re-centering technology around human values and shared meaning.
Luminating the Path to Human Flourishing by enabling people and organizations to grow in wisdom as they grow in capability.
This is not a marketing slogan — it’s our operating system for the future of civilization.
We stand at the threshold of a new era — one not defined by artificial intelligence, but by Digital Intelligence.
An era in which technology learns to serve humanity’s highest aims, not its lowest appetites.
An era where wisdom is no longer optional — it’s the ultimate differentiator.
FACTORS Digital Intelligence exists to ensure that as our machines grow smarter, our humanity grows wiser.
We are building the ethical, cultural, and spiritual foundation for the Age of Digital Intelligence —
a future where truth and technology walk hand in hand.
