Analytica - visionary modeling

Sure, It looks fancy at first, but most people find it simpler once they start — you literally draw the logic of your problem, then fill in the details.

Honestly, it feels more like sketching a thought process than writing a model.

👉 Try it once, and you’ll see.

Still using Excel for complex decisions? Bold choice.

Leading a workshop on how Assista is reshaping the way we structure complex decisions with influence diagrams.

Thanks for the great photos @HildaCherekdjian

It’s kind of a hidden gem in the decision analysis world. Think of it as spreadsheets meet influence diagrams, visual, transparent, and built for uncertainty.

It’s been around longer than most people realize (and used by some really sharp teams).

The free version is a fun way to see how it thinks.

📚 Did you know?
Max , our CEO, has published 4 books and over 70 articles spanning topics like energy & the environment, risk & uncertainty, software design, & artificial intelligence.

This #AuthorsDay we celebrate leader like Max who turn ideas into impact!

Happy Halloween 👻
