Our approach
What is prescriptive analytics?
Prescriptive analytics recommends what to do next. It uses optimisation to weigh every workable option against your goals and your real limits on budget, people, equipment and time, then points to the decision that delivers the best outcome. It is where operations research turns analysis into action.
- Step 1
Descriptive analytics
What happened?
Reports and dashboards that summarise past performance.
- Step 2
Predictive analytics
What is likely to happen?
Forecasts that estimate demand, risk and future performance.
- Step 3Where we work
Prescriptive analytics
What should we do?
Optimisation that recommends the best course of action for your goals and constraints.
Services
Five ways we help organisations decide better
Each service applies the same discipline: understand the problem, model it with real data and recommend the course of action that makes the best use of your resources.
Strategic Planning
Plans that weigh your goals against real limits on budget, people and time, so priorities are set by evidence rather than instinct.

How we work
How does an engagement work?
Every project follows four stages, from a tailored diagnosis to a recommendation that is put into practice. We stay involved until the plan is working.
- 01
Diagnose
We start by understanding your situation: objectives, constraints, available data and how decisions are made today. Everything that follows is tailored to what we find.
- 02
Model
We collate current and historical data and build a model of the decision, capturing the trade-offs between cost, capacity, time and outcomes.
- 03
Optimise
Optimisation methods search the options for the course of action that best meets your goals within your constraints, and show what each alternative would cost.
- 04
Implement
We help put the recommendation into practice and check that it delivers, because an optimal plan only matters once it is in use.
