Services / Packetized Management Cortex

Your Digital Asset Isn't Driving Decisions. It Should Be.

Most Industrial Digital Assets / RAM Models are built once and used never. The model sits dormant while your team makes decisions the old way — with spreadsheets, gut instinct, and outdated studies. The Packetized Management Cortex changes this. Knar hosts, operates, and exploits your Digital Asset on your behalf, delivering quantified insights on your decision calendar.

Packetized Digital Asset Management — Starting Point, Service Offer, Value Outcome, and Evolutionary Path

Tell us your next capital or operational decision — we will run your model and deliver the answer within 5 business days.

The Cost of Inaction

What an Idle Digital Asset Actually Costs

The investment in building the model was real. The cost of not operating it is equally real — it just doesn't appear on any invoice.

Situation
Consequence
Value Leakage
01
Situation

Model built, never operationalized

Consequence

Capital spent on a study, not a system

Value Leakage
100% of build investment written off
02
Situation

Scenarios run only at project inception

Consequence

Decisions made on stale assumptions

Value Leakage
$2M–$15M per deferred or wrong capital decision
03
Situation

No model recalibration after operational data accumulates

Consequence

Model diverges from reality; outputs lose credibility

Value Leakage
Loss of management confidence; model abandoned
04
Situation

Turnaround decisions without scenario support

Consequence

Scope creep, unnecessary replacements, or missed failures

Value Leakage
$500K–$5M per turnaround in avoidable costs
05
Situation

Knowledge lives in one expert's head

Consequence

Retirement or resignation erases institutional memory

Value Leakage
18–36 months to rebuild; $1M–$8M replacement cost
06
Situation

Board presentations use availability metrics, not value metrics

Consequence

Decisions optimized for the wrong objective

Value Leakage
Systematic EBITDA underperformance vs. peers
07
Situation

Model vendor no longer supports the platform

Consequence

Asset frozen in time; cannot incorporate new data

Value Leakage
Full model rebuild cost + opportunity loss

The good news: every value stream leaking above has a corresponding unlock path. Here is what your Digital Asset could be delivering — starting now.

The Solution

PMC Closes the Gap Between a Model and a Decision

The value leakage described above is not a technology problem. It is an operational continuity problem — your organization built analytical capability but never operationalized it. PMC is the operational layer your Digital Asset is missing.

Instead of commissioning a new study every time a decision arises, you submit a question. Knar runs your model, validates the output, and delivers a decision-ready brief — at a fraction of the cost of a traditional engagement, with a turnaround measured in days, not months.

Service Packets

Choose What Your Asset Needs Right Now

Each packet is a self-contained, deliverable-defined service. Subscribe to one, combine several, or activate Full Cortex Support for continuous operated coverage.

P1

Scenario Engine

On-demand scenario runs against your model

On-demand or scheduled

You submit a decision question. We run the model, produce a scenario report with P50/P80/P90 outcomes, and deliver a one-page Decision Brief within your agreed SLA. No model access required on your side.

Deliverables
  • Scenario run report (PDF + data)
  • P50 / P80 / P90 probability outputs
  • One-page Decision Brief
  • Assumptions & sensitivity register
Enquire about Scenario Engine
P2

Model Health Check

Periodic calibration and model integrity review

Quarterly or semi-annual

We compare model predictions against actual operational data, recalibrate failure distributions, update maintenance records, and certify the model remains a reliable representation of your physical asset.

Deliverables
  • Model vs. reality deviation report
  • Recalibrated failure distributions
  • Updated maintenance history log
  • Model integrity certification
Enquire about Model Health Check
Most Requested
P3

Decision Briefing

Executive-ready analysis for capital and operational decisions

Event-driven (turnarounds, budget cycles)

Structured briefings for your leadership or board — turnaround go/no-go, capital deferral analysis, maintenance strategy trade-offs — formatted for decision-makers, not engineers.

Deliverables
  • Executive decision brief (4–8 pages)
  • Risk-ranked option comparison
  • Financial impact quantification
  • Recommended action with rationale
Enquire about Decision Briefing
P4

Knowledge Codification

Capture and structure institutional knowledge into the model

Quarterly or post-incident

Expert interviews, incident reviews, and operational debrief sessions are transformed into formal model updates — ensuring your organization's knowledge survives personnel changes and retirements.

Deliverables
  • Knowledge capture session report
  • Model update incorporating new data
  • Traceability register (decision ↔ evidence)
  • Updated operating rules library
Enquire about Knowledge Codification
P5

Full Cortex Support

Continuous operated Digital Asset — Knar as your analytical backbone

Continuous monthly retainer

All four packets combined into a continuous retainer. Knar operates your IDA on an ongoing basis — running scenarios, maintaining model health, producing briefings, and codifying knowledge — with a dedicated analyst assigned to your asset.

Deliverables
  • All P1–P4 deliverables included
  • Dedicated analyst (named, continuous)
  • Monthly performance dashboard
  • Quarterly strategic review session
  • Priority SLA (48-hour scenario turnaround)
  • Annual model rebuild / validation
Enquire about Full Cortex Support
How It Works

Four Steps. One Decision Cycle.

01

Ask

You submit a decision question through the PMC portal or directly to your assigned analyst. You describe what you need to decide and when. No technical specification required.

02

Run

Knar runs your model against the question. We define scenarios, set assumptions, execute the simulation, and validate outputs against operational reality. You are updated on progress.

03

Decide

We deliver the output in your agreed format — scenario report, decision brief, or executive presentation. The output is structured to drive a specific decision, not to demonstrate analytical complexity.

04

Learn

Every cycle updates the model. New operational data, post-decision outcomes, and lessons learned are formally incorporated — making the next analysis faster and more accurate.

Governance & Expertise

What Backs Every Packet

Named Analyst Assignment

Every engagement is assigned a named senior analyst who knows your model, your asset, and your decision context. No ticketing system. No anonymous support queue.

Defined SLAs

Standard scenario turnaround: 5 business days. Full Cortex Support priority: 48 hours. Model Health Check: delivered within agreed quarterly window. All SLAs are contractual commitments.

KPI Tracking

Monthly dashboard tracks: scenarios delivered, model calibration accuracy, decision briefs issued, and knowledge items codified. You always know what the service is producing.

25+ Years of Model Expertise

Every packet is underpinned by Jorge Granada's frameworks — PDEL®, RAMGEN, KVB-C2M® — ensuring analytical rigor that goes beyond software operation into engineering judgment.

Evolutionary Roadmap

The service is designed to increase model fidelity over time. Year 1 establishes operating rhythm. Year 2 expands coverage. Year 3 moves toward predictive automation.

Confidentiality by Design

All model data, operational inputs, and decision outputs are handled under mutual NDA. Model IP remains 100% with your organization. Knar is a custodian, not an owner.

From the Field

What Clients Say After Activating PMC

“We had the model. We just didn't have the bandwidth to run it for every capital question that came up. The PMC changed that — we now have answers in 48 hours instead of commissioning a new study every time.”
VP Engineering, Midstream O&G, North America
“The quarterly Model Health Check gave us something we never had before: confidence that what the model says reflects what the plant actually does. That changed how our board treats the output.”
Director of Reliability, Power Generation, Latin America
“Our lead reliability engineer retired after 22 years. The Knowledge Codification work Knar did in the six months before he left is the reason we didn't lose a decade of institutional knowledge.”
Chief Engineer, Mining, West Africa

Client organizations anonymized per NDA. Engagements verified.

Fit Criteria

PMC Is the Right Fit If...

You have a RAM model, digital twin, or IDA that was built but is not being used actively for decisions.
Your team lacks the bandwidth or expertise to run and maintain the model in-house.
You face recurring capital or operational decisions that would benefit from scenario analysis but are currently made without it.
You are concerned about knowledge concentration — too much expertise in too few people.
Your current reporting uses availability and MTBF metrics but your leadership needs EBITDA and NPV framing.
You want ongoing analytical support without hiring a full-time reliability modeling team.
You are planning a turnaround, debottlenecking study, or energy transition assessment in the next 12 months.
Ready to Begin

Start With One Question. One Scenario. One Decision.

The fastest way to start is to submit a decision question you are facing right now. We will scope which packet applies, define the deliverable, and give you a clear picture of what the model can answer.
