Simplexity Analysis was started in 2014 by Chris Evett and Tom Pearson. Chris has a background in intelligence analysis and programme management. Tom has a background in design and industrial systems.
In 2015, we were joined by our colleagues Jonathan Selhi and Ross Marwood. Jonathan Selhi has a background in technical analysis and project management. Ross Marwood, (through his own company, Columnsoft Ltd) is a software engineer and technical architect.
Together we have worked on a large range of projects over the years for a range of clients from Tech Start ups to Government departments. Our core specialism is supporting the development of new and novel ideas that can influence how decisions are made. We work with low ‘technology readiness’ ideas to develop experiments and proof of concepts. We aid the scoping, funding and delivery of these projects, from inception through to deployment.
In this AI rich world, our aim is to retain the uniqueness and strength of human-led of analysis, while getting the best of next generation technologies.
