Scientific foundations
Methods proven in the literature, applied in production
Our team’s research is recognized at the field’s leading venues and used at scale by major organizations. We bring that rigor to enterprise planning, but judge every method by whether it improves decisions in practical settings.
Research → product
| Research area | Enterprise problem | RabbitHawk capability |
|---|---|---|
| Hierarchical forecasting | Local plans do not add up to executive targets | Reconciled forecasts across every level |
| Probabilistic forecasting | Point forecasts hide risk | Full predictive distributions, intervals and scenario ranges |
| Optimization | Forecasts do not tell teams what to do | Constraint-aware recommendations |
| Agentic AI | Context is trapped in emails and notes | Context ingestion and decision agents |
| Human-in-the-loop AI | Automation without trust creates resistance | Approval, override and audit trails |
| Alignment science | Teams optimize against conflicting goals | 90North alignment and goal clarity |
