Rigor
Methods should withstand scrutiny.
About

Who we are
We work on problems where data is complex, models matter and decisions carry consequences.
Our approach combines mathematical modeling, statistics, computational methods and scientific reasoning to turn information into understanding, and understanding into better-informed decisions.
Research creates knowledge, methods and models. Consulting applies them to real problems, and brings back the questions that shape the next piece of research.
Three names
We keep them distinct because they do not carry the same responsibilities. Our research can criticise a platform we operate without the operator having to defend itself.
The company. It runs consulting engagements and operates the platforms it builds, such as GIA.
The entity that signs methodological work: papers, reports, methods and their stated limits.
Products like GIA: the application, its layers and its indicators, each named on its own.
Principles
Methods should withstand scrutiny.
Complexity should not prevent understanding.
What we do not know matters as much as what we know.
A model should help answer a question.
Evidence comes before conclusions.
