The team behind Rare Kaon
Andrew Atiya has bought, sold, and built business software. Rare Kaon is Andrew and the software he builds.
- Bought
As an enterprise CTO, he recovered a failing company-wide rollout by narrowing it to what users needed.
- Sold
Running a 200-plus-person software services organization, he got a stalled launch moving with small releases.
- Built
He still builds production software. Rare Kaon grew out of KnowHow Software, his AI startup.
- Now
Rare Kaon starts with one change your people can succeed at, then tests it.
Every business has a rare kaon.
A kaon is a particle. About 1 in 10 billion kaons decays in a rare way. Physicists study those few to test the laws of nature.
In a business, it is the request nobody tracks or the quote that waits a week.
Rare Kaon helps you find yours.

Frequently asked questions
What is a growth lab?
A growth lab finds, builds, and tests a business’s next win. Rare Kaon replaces strategy debates with results.
What records does Rare Kaon need?
The email, notes, CRM records, and files you already have. You approve every source, and there is no data cleanup first.
What if I’m not sure what I need?
Start with your best guess. The first conversation turns it into one question an engagement can answer.
I already know what I need built. Can you build it?
Yes. Bring the spec. We check it against your business’s records before and during the build, so the tool fits how the work really happens. You own what we build.
Who owns what Rare Kaon builds?
You own your data, your strategy, and the work built for you. Rare Kaon keeps its pre-existing software and methods; your agreement sets out the details.
How is Rare Kaon priced?
One fixed fee per engagement, agreed before work starts, with the question, the owner, and the records in scope.
Where does the name come from?
A rare kaon decay is an unusual event that tells physicists about the laws of nature. Rare Kaon looks for the same kind of signal in a business.
