Frequently Asked Questions
What does “decision-driven analytics” mean?
At Kans Analytics, analytics always starts with decisions that matter. We design our models to help leaders make better, more confident choices—rather than simply analyzing data and building models for its own sake.
What makes Kans Analytics different from others?
We combine world-class modeling with a focus on driving organizational value. Our models are rigorous but practical, balancing accuracy and practical business-acumen, so leaders can understand, and act on the results.
Why the name “Kans Analytics”?
“Kans” means “chance” or “opportunity” in Dutch—a fitting reflection of our focus on understanding uncertainty and helping organizations turn it into opportunity and value.
What kinds of problems does Kans Analytics help solve?
We specialize in analytics for complex decisions—whether that involves managing risk, optimizing operations, evaluating investments, or designing insurance solutions.
What is stochastic modeling, or Monte Carlo simulation, and how does it help?
Monte Carlo simulation allows us to model uncertainty explicitly. This helps you understand not just what might happen—but how confident you can be in each possible outcome, as well as how to manage risks before they happen.
How does optimization modeling benefit organizations?
Optimization modeling helps you identify the best course of action when facing trade-offs—such as minimizing costs, maximizing profit, or balancing risk and return. We use this to guide optimal and data-driven operational and investment decisions.
What industries do you work in?
Our team’s experience spans many fields, including finance, insurance, pharmaceuticals, energy, agriculture, healthcare, and public policy. The common thread is helping our clients to make better choices.
How does a typical project with Kans Analytics begin?
Every project starts with a deep understanding of the decision at hand—its context, potential decision-options, and relevant technical, economical and competitive risks. We then design the appropriate model, and clearly communicate results for action.
Can you work with our internal teams?
Absolutely. We typically collaborate with in-house analysts, operations and finance teams, and decision-makers to co-develop models, train teams, and ensure lasting capability within the organization. Our goal is to make your team self-sufficient.
Are your consulting projects confidential?
Yes. The majority of our work is proprietary. However, we occasionally publish or present select projects to illustrate our work and impact.
