Predictive and decision systems

We are a specialist engineering consultancy hyper-focused on helping our clients in two emerging areas.

With a special interest in water, climate, and the environment.

Predictive systems

The research is done, it's ready to build, and there are so many benefits. Strategic foresight for a competitive edge, plans with less redundancy, operational teams with lower cognitive load and better outcomes, and more.

We take you through the whole process, from problem definition to operational system, handle all the data, maths and code, and integrate it into your business. We've been doing it for years.

Quantum is exciting and could make all this even better. We are relearning our Hermitian operators and entanglement states ready for this next big thing.

Decision intelligence

The fusion of predictive systems and data science with decision theory. We help you make better decisions. Defensible and evidence-based, grounded in solid science and using the best available information.

Contracting

At certain times of the year we have capacity to supply specialist skills for short-term contracts.
