Academic Rigor.

Operational Reality.

We combine patented technology and decades of real-world experience to bridge the gap between research, policy, and day-to-day operations.

Patented Technology

Our machine learning algorithms were developed from analyzing decades of real incident and operational data across high-hazard industries. Our work has been published in more than 200 peer-reviewed journals and has been field-tested with industry leaders in energy, infrastructure, and government.

We use advanced data fusion, AI, and multi-factor analysis techniques, but always in a way that is transparent, explainable, and aligned with regulatory expectations.

Implementation Focus

We don’t just deliver reports. We help you close gaps between policy and practice. Our bespoke research and advisory work is tailored to your specific operational context, workforce, and regulatory environment

We stay involved through deployment and organizational change, supporting leaders and front-line teams as they adopt new indicators, controls, and tools. The result is real implementation, not shelfware.

Data Security

We know your operational data is sensitive. That’s why our analysis is performed on-site or within your secure environment. Your data stays with you. No cloud uploads, no third-party access.

Our methods are fully documented and transparent, giving regulators, auditors, and internal risk committees confidence in how risk-based prioritization decisions are made.
