MRLD

Making Robust Lifecycle Decisions

Making Robust Lifecycle Decisions (MRLD, or "emerald") is an intuitive decision analysis software that enables Multi-Attribute Tradespace Exploration (MATE). MATE is a scalable analytic methodology for multi-criteria, multi-stakeholder decision-making in complex, dynamic, and possible futures. It was developed to address problems in which decision complexity exceeds human ability to easily identify and weigh potential solutions.
