How We Work
Human Intelligence + Artificial Intelligence + = Actionable Intelligence ™
We know how to effectively use modern, high-capacity computing tools to capture and analyze more data than ever before and deliver on the promise of AI.
But we don’t leave the intelligence to the machines. We combine your and your company’s human knowledge, experience, and intelligence with ours to solve your problems.
The combination of the machine power (AI) with human power (HI) equates to Actionable Intelligence (ACTI ).
Of course, proper problem definition is a necessary condition for finding the optimal management solution. Our process often reveals the true nature of a problem previously unknown or not fully defined. Following this, the customized system is designed to meet the challenging water management needs, even in real-time as system conditions and needs change.
Human Intelligence + Artificial Intelligence + = Actionable Intelligence ™
Artificial Intelligence – Our proprietary process uses AI to analyze your data to identify critical cause and effect relationships between variables. This process not only improves the understanding of your system and its behavior, through which data collection strategies can be improved, but also helps converge to accurate and robust AI prediction models.
Human Intelligence – We leverage your knowledge and experience with ours to develop the AI-based data analysis and modeling strategies to unleash the full potential of your data – discovering important system dynamics and relationships and exploiting these understandings for developing accurate and robust AI prediction models. Consistent with your needs and the AI-gained insights, we formulate sophisticated optimization models that explicitly represent the objectives and constraints of your system. We also identify ways to further improve your data collection strategies to support the above. NOAH is also highly skilled at selecting and using other prediction and simulation tools like physics-based models as needed.
Actionable Intelligence – The AI combined with single objective or more advanced multi-objective models identify the optimal operating solutions for maximizing your benefits like resources protection and minimizing your costs like energy consumption to the extent possible. Our proprietary optimization algorithms reduce your risk by explicitly accounting for inherent uncertainty like climate change.
Our work philosophy is simple.
Close collaboration with our clients is essential for properly defining the decision management objectives, with the supporting data and modeling needs.
Through our collaborative process, the data, in combination with our models, often illuminate system behavior previously unknown or misunderstood, resulting in improved data collection and reformulation of modeling and management objectives.
The end result is superior decision-making capability that protects resources, minimizes operating costs, and maximizes benefits to customers and providers alike.
NOAH is eminently professional and capable, that goes without saying. But, unlike many competitors and consultancies in the field, NOAH speaks about highly technical and complicated issues in a way that is accessible and objective, not intimidating nor confusing.
NOAH guides the process to allow clients to address important issues that require sophisticated analysis, evaluation, and solutions. We see the big picture but also pay strict attention to the smallest details. We do the heavy lifting so that our clients can rest assured they will get the results they need.
NOAH is logical and clear with a healthy dose of caring thrown in. We are attuned to both the rational and emotional needs of each client and project. Our methods are rigorous and robust and always creative with every project getting a tailored fresh look on its own merits.
We are transparent in sharing the details of the good news and, if necessary, also say what needs to be said, not just what a client wants to hear.
Our clients call us impressive and, most importantly, worthy of their trust.
