Key Research & Product Categories

One major component to this research are readiness worksheets (SSMS) for Self-Service Modernization Status.  Are you in progress or are you lagging falling behind?  Inspired by McKInsey

We run self-service infrastructure groups for Asia (see https://kioskasia.org) and Europe (https://kioskeurope.org).  We will be at InfoComm and happy to provide coupons for free reports.

And now the summary of Research  -- Here is link --  https://keefner3.gumroad.com/

1. Cash vs. Cashless Intelligence

This series provides a deep dive into the financial implications of payment methods, moving beyond simple transaction fees to analyze the “real cost” of cash.

  • The Bundle: A comprehensive three-part series comparing cash acceptance to cashless environments.

  • Cash Shrinkage Calculator: A specialized tool to help operators quantify losses from theft, counting errors, and administrative overhead.

  • Deep Dives: Individual reports focusing on the specific labor and logistics costs associated with physical currency.

2. Voice AI & New Modalities

As conversational interfaces become standard in drive-thrus and kiosks, TIG provides a roadmap for implementation.

  • Voice AI in Self-Service 2026: A forward-looking report covering the market for microphones, hardware, and the actual costs of deploying voice-activated systems in high-traffic environments like QSRs.

3. Self-Service Modernization & Infrastructure

Focused on high-level strategy and hardware readiness, these tools are designed for executive-level planning.

  • SSMS Readiness Worksheet: A strategic scoring tool (inspired by McKinsey frameworks) to help organizations assess their readiness for Self-Service Modernization & Scoring.

  • Edge AI & Intelligence Brief: An analysis of the shift toward “edge” computing, where intelligence is processed locally on the kiosk or device to improve speed and security.

Available for Purchase (via Gumroad)

Users can access these reports individually or as bundles through the TIG Gumroad Store:

Summary for Stakeholders: Whether you are an operator looking to reduce cash-handling overhead or a developer integrating Voice AI for 2026, these resources provide the data-driven worksheets and market forecasts necessary to justify ROI and guide technical implementation.
