Water utilities
From source to tap: pumps, tanks, lift stations, treatment, and the power and telecom they depend on. Resilience metrics that flow directly into asset management plans and capital improvement projects.
NetResilience℠ · The resilience intelligence platform™
Resilience you can measure.
Quantify your network’s exposure to cascading failure and identify the investments that reduce it most cost-effectively. Built for water and electric utilities.

The shift
Failures are inevitable —
make them matter less.
Cascading-failure events are unpredictable. Extreme weather, cyber and SCADA disruptions, supply chain compromise, physical attack… the hazards differ, but the consequence propagates the same way: through the structure of the network itself.
RELIABILITY ASKS
How do we prevent the next outage?
RESILIENCE ASKS
When failure occurs, how small can we keep it, and how fast can we recover?
Traditional per-asset engineering methods struggle to answer the second question. Network science can. That is what we do.
NetResilience℠
The Resilience Intelligence Platform™
A proprietary network-science approach that turns system fragility into numbers that your engineers, your board, and your regulator can act on.
-
Assess all-hazards resilience
Establish your baseline resilience metrics, loss probabilities, and recovery time/cost from highly disruptive events.
-
Identify critical assets
Rank the assets and interdependencies that propagate system fragility: the short list that matters.
-
Model interventions
Score hardening and system-design changes against your baseline, before you commit capital.
-
Optimize investments
A cost-effective plan that supports your financial and regulatory requirements.
Investment-grade insights
Metrics that hold up in the boardroom and the rate case.
Every engagement produces defensible, dollar-denominated measures of system resilience: the same numbers that flow into capital improvement plans, rate applications, emergency response plans, and bond ratings reports.
-
Resilience Score — a benchmark of system resilience (hazard-agnostic or threat-specific), expressed on a 0–10 scale.
-
Maximum Probable Loss — the most consequential cascading-failure loss that is also relatively likely, in dollars.
-
Recovery Time & Cost — mean and maximum-probable duration and cost to restore all failed components across failure scenarios.

Illustrative output. Your baseline is computed from your network model, fault data, asset attributes, interconnected dependencies, and organizational specifics.
Who we serve
Built for the operators who own the consequence of failure.
Electric utilities & ISOs
Transmission and distribution at cascading-failure scale, beyond N–1. Quantify structural fragility, prioritize hardening, and structure the system to absorb renewable generation without absorbing new risk.
Recognition
“Stood out for the novelty of its approach in the resilience-analytics space.”
