Consulting with engineering-grade outputs

We work with R&D and manufacturing teams to UNDERSTAND complex systems, ACT through targeted experiments, and RESOLVE critical decisions with engineering-grade analysis.

UNDERSTAND

Decision-Grade Analysis

Clarify system behavior, key drivers, and decision trade-offs before experiments.

Deliverables
  • Assumptions & scope framing
  • Key drivers & system behavior
  • Decision trade-offs & risk framing
ACT

Execution Strategy

Translate validated insights into targeted experiments and actionable engineering steps.

Deliverables
  • Experiment or simulation strategies
  • Operating ranges or field predictions
  • Engineering recommendations
RESOLVE

Root Cause & Resolution Support

Resolve root causes by isolating dominant drivers and defining validation paths.

Deliverables
  • Evidence map
  • Hypothesis tree
  • Targeted validation plan

Caldera: AI Process Map Explorer

Caldera is our internal AI workflow engine—a structured consulting capability that explores process maps and supports engineering decisions under limited data, combining AI-assisted analysis with expert review.

  • AI models infer process maps from sparse experimental coverage, with uncertainty-aware and goal-oriented recommendations
  • Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) integrates domain literatures and established physical and chemical formulas
  • Runs entirely with local models on client-provided data, with no data upload or leakage

*For sensitive projects, Caldera workflows can be executed within client-controlled environments to support data confidentiality requirements.
