Data Harvesting

Accessing data is expensive and time consuming, and is often the culprit leading to project failure. Data harvesting technology is built into every Quantellia model and is core to process: it automatically analyzes your decision model to find which information is most needed: what you need, and nothing more. Sometimes a hundred inputs mean nothing, and targeting just one piece of critical information makes all the difference.

Information changes rapidly, and your knowledge of how to use it evolves over time. Quantellia users work iteratively, which means that they build a model, add data, test the model, add more data (or update the model), repeating this process as needed.

Quantellia Infonomics AnalysisTM allows you to understand the cost and value of inputs to your model, as well as the cost and value of metadata, like a validation constraint that says "if this price is over a hundred pounds then the discount level field must be populated". Quantellia software reasons about data costs, as well as values, to guide iterative data harvesting.

(See how Quantellia Infonomics Analysis operates in the context of a worked example here.)
