Through iterative testing, we achieved an 83% decrease in time to find shopping features and a 66% improvement in ease of use ratings.

Decision Analysis @ Neros Tech
With a team made up of Stanford MBA, PhD, and MS students, we conducted a strategic decision analysis for Neros Tech, a seed-stage startup specializing in military drones. Our analysis focused on whether Neros should prioritize FPV drone production to target near-term DoD contracts or allocate resources toward developing new drones to position for an lucrative program of record in 2027. Using decision trees, sensitivity analyses, and the value of evidence, we recommended a primary focus on FPV drones with periodic reassessment of FW-LM viability.
