Work
Bryan's current work.
Bryan's current work is organized through a small group of institutions spanning strategic counsel, principal investment, research, and public analysis.
Strategic advisory
Twenty Three Point Five.
Bryan's strategic advisory firm, working with leaders, owners, and investors on consequential questions involving strategy, markets, commercial performance, transactions, transformation, and institutional leadership.
Principal investment & research
Kaus Capital and Australis™.
Kaus Capital is Bryan's principal investment, research, and business-building platform. Australis is the proprietary company and market intelligence system supporting investment, diligence, advisory, and operator-level analysis.
Built on nearly two decades of experience across energy and industrial markets, Australis integrates:
- company research and financial filings;
- valuation and comparable-company analysis;
- cycle-aware and downside frameworks;
- balance-sheet, liquidity, and capital-allocation analysis;
- commodity, power, and macro-market intelligence;
- infrastructure and physical-asset mapping;
- leadership, board, governance, and compensation research;
- news, regulatory, and industry monitoring;
- diligence preparation and decision support;
- structured research outputs for investment, advisory, and principal opportunities.
The platform is designed to organize information around judgment, not volume. It turns accumulated market, operating, financial, and strategic experience into a repeatable intelligence system for investor-operator decision-making.
