Why Most Consulting Fails in Complex Assets
We don't simplify complexity —
We engineer clarity within it.
The Traditional Consulting Problem
In high-stakes industrial environments, most consulting fails because it relies on:
Simplified Matrices
Risk matrices that reduce complex causal relationships to color-coded squares, obscuring the actual mechanisms driving failure and value destruction.
Isolated Recommendations
Slide decks filled with bullet points that ignore cross-functional dependencies, leaving implementation teams to figure out the integration challenges.
Dashboards Without Causal Logic
Visualizations that show what is happening but cannot explain why or predict what levers matter for controlling outcomes.
Our Core Belief
If you can't model how an asset creates value, you don't control its performance.
That's why we reject oversimplification. Complexity isn't the problem — fragmented understanding is.
What We Build Instead
We build executable decision systems where:
Technical Reality Meets Financial Outcomes
Engineering constraints, physics, and operational reality are computationally linked to business metrics like EBITDA, NPV, and production targets.
Physics Links to P&L Through Traceable Causality
Using PDEL® (Performance Dependency Elucidation Language), we map how degradation mechanisms, maintenance strategies, and operational decisions propagate through to financial outcomes.
Organizational Capability Is Institutionalized, Not Outsourced
We transfer modeling capability to your team so the system evolves with your reality, rather than creating dependency on external consultants.
Who We Serve
We serve only mature organizations — those ready to walk through complexity, not avoid it.
Leaders in capital-intensive industries who face complex decisions under uncertainty:
Oil & Gas
Production optimization, feed variability management, corrosion under uncertainty, turnaround economics
Utilities
Hydropower reliability, transmission asset aging, renewable integration, regulatory compliance
Mining
Equipment reliability, production planning, fleet availability, lifecycle cost optimization under geological uncertainty
Chemicals & Refining
Process reliability, catalyst performance, feedstock flexibility, lifecycle cost optimization
Defense & Manufacturing
Fleet availability, predictive maintenance budgets, mission readiness, supply chain resilience
Not for Everyone
If you're looking for quick wins, simplified dashboards, or reassuring presentations — we're not the right fit. But if you're ready to build systems that preserve causal understanding across organizational boundaries, systems that your team can modify and extend as reality evolves — then let's talk.
