Decision Support Tools
You need to bring diverse stakeholders together to make complex decisions—where the future is uncertain, priorities don't always align, and there's no one clear solution.
Traditional approaches often fall short, forcing a choice between expert-driven recommendations with limited buy-in or long public processes that struggle to engage with technical complexity.
How We Work Differently
Enabled Strategy Co-Creation, Not Just Analysis
Stakeholders build, compare and test their own strategies against thousands of scenarios, becoming architects of solutions reflecting their priorities.
Sophisticated Models Behind Simple Interfaces.
Complex modeling frameworks are integrated into intuitive, guided web tools, making advanced analysis accessible without expertise.
Decision Science Drives Process Design
Grounded in Decision Making under Deep Uncertainty (DMDU), we embrace uncertainty and strengthen decisions through diverse perspectives.
Stakeholder Engagement Creates the Solution
Facilitated exploration of trade-offs and scenarios helps stakeholders collaboratively discover robust strategies instead of using preset answers.
What You Get
A collaborative decision-making platform where multiple stakeholders can create, test, and compare their own strategies in real time.
Diverse stakeholder groups engage with sophisticated modeling tools to build consensus around strategies that perform well under uncertainty—transforming adversarial processes into collective problem-solving.

Why This Matters Now
Traditional “predict-then-act” planning fails under deep uncertainty.
When future conditions are unprecedented and stakeholder priorities conflict, you need approaches that embrace uncertainty and enable collaborative strategy development. In the face of these complex decisions, the best results will come from enabling stakeholders to co-create strategies using sophisticated models, not from trying to find solutions in isolation.
