Solve the Problem
IntelAnvil develops the solutions the problem requires.
Different problems require different kinds of solutions.
Three Types of Solutions
Rather than organizing solutions by technology or methodology, we organize them by what they produce: insights, decisions, and systems.
Insights
Turning information into understanding.
Insights reveal patterns, relationships, opportunities, and risks.
Decisions
Direction that guides action.
Decisions establish priorities, resolve tradeoffs, and determine what to pursue.
Systems
Capabilities that perform useful work repeatedly.
Systems make useful work repeatable, consistent, and scalable.
Many Solutions Combine Different Types
Many real-world solutions require a combination of insights, decisions, and systems.
Example 1 — Product Development
Problem
A promising opportunity has been identified.
Insight
Understand customer needs.
Decision
Determine what should be built.
System
Develop the product.
Example 2 — Operational Improvement
Problem
A recurring process consumes unnecessary time and effort.
Insight
Identify where value is being lost.
Decision
Determine the better approach.
System
Implement the improved workflow.
Example 3 — Strategic Planning
Problem
Several promising directions exist.
Insight
Understand opportunities and constraints.
Decision
Choose the strategic direction.

How We Work
Frame the Problem
Clarify what is actually being solved before anything is built.
Allocate Intelligence
Decide what belongs to software, AI, and human judgment.
Solve the Problem
Produce the type of solution the problem requires.
