We also regularly update our platform’s blog with insights from our ongoing research.
Our AI helps by generating diverse theories, comparing different approaches, and running
experiments based on your inputs.
It acts as a strategic thought partner, enhancing your decision-making process rather than making decisions for you.
IMSL endeavors to become a world-class research center in management sciences and a
reference point for the study of decision-making under uncertainty.
Through an approach that combines academic rigor and corporate execution, we strive to
change the way the world thinks about strategic decision-making.

Yes, we take data security seriously. We follow industry best practices for data protection.
The IMSL Platform is an advanced decision-making platform that combines simulation tools with AI-assisted theory brainstorming, comparison, and experimentation.
It’s designed to help executives, consultants, and researchers navigate complex, high-stakes decisions in uncertain environments.
Our platform is ideal for:
Our platform offers three main tools:
Plato (2.0): Focuses on AI-assisted theory creation and refinement.
Aristotle (3.0): Provides more comprehensive AI guidance, including brainstorming, theory comparison, and advanced experimentation.
