- Use a common language to communicate analysis questions and results across domains, unlocking true collaboration in your teams.
Features
Multi-Attribute Tradespace Exploration (MATE) software,
built by MATE researchers alongside MATE practitioners.
Fast, Easy Data Import
Give EpochShift a data file, tell it which columns define the decision, which are uncertain, and which describe the result. The importer will organize your data into a proper MATE study, provide a summary for sanity-checking, and you're off to the (tradespace exploration) races!
Advanced Visual Analysis
Epochshift comes pre-loaded with all the visualizations and analysis you need for trade studies, all fully customizable to your data and your questions. Whether you're looking for the Pareto Front, a robust system design, or specific subsets of alternatives, EpochShift will help you find the solution.
Simple Value Modeling
Modeling stakeholder values can be difficult, but it doesn't have to be. EpochShift provides built-in tooling for automatically creating value models and interactively editing them, allowing you to revise, preview changes, and reassign value models for enhanced confidence in trade study results.
Truly Strategic Decision-Making
Leverage Epoch-Era Analysis to intuitively model lifecycle uncertainties. Looking for system robustness? One-click. Need a narrative example lifecycle for a presentation? Show the Era Sequence plot. Stakeholder values changing over time? Easily create temporal variables and new value models for future epochs, and instantly see the effects on the tradespace.
Easy Insight Tracking
Blazes, takeaways, and notes help you and your team quickly and transparently distill complex trade studies into actionable insights and easily communicate results, all while providing traceability and trust.
Growing Capabilities
EpochShift already comes with all the functionality needed to perform a standard MATE study, and continues to grow with an ever-expanding set of capabilities. Look forward to advanced uncertainty analysis supported by AI insights in the near future!
