  Resilience Analytics (RA) is a company designed to operationalize resilience in multiple domains. RA fills an urgent and growing need for virtually all companies and government organizations. Resilience Analytics' product/service model is broken down into three tiers: 1) a screening level assessment framing critical system functions and analyzing changes in system connectivity in response to shocks and stressors 2) utilization of simplified system models to understand and quantify connections across various domains and their impacts on critical system functions 3) utilization of advanced modeling techniques (e.g. network science and Artificial Intelligence) to further assess changes in interconnected networks in response to random and targeted disruptions. This approach is scalable to various stakeholders, from small businesses to international supply chains and econometrics. Ultimately, RA’s three-tier methodology visualizes and quantifies an institution’s single-points-of-failure, capacity for recovery, and various countermeasures or adaptations that could be taken in a cost-effective manner to limit or eliminate disruption or cascading loss.
