Decisions that stand up to scrutiny
Independent decision reviews and operating systems for institutions and science-based ventures.
When the next commitment matters, I test the evidence, identify the binding constraint and give you a clear written basis for the decision.
Start with one decision. In 2–3 weeks, receive an independent recommendation of what to continue, change, fund or stop.
Independent expertise and judgment where science, strategy and capital meet.
I work where technical evidence, commercial reality and capital allocation are usually assessed separately. That is how I test which assumption is carrying the decision – and whether the evidence supports it.
QUATISE® is the proprietary research and methodology basis behind each work. The engagement gives you independent judgement and a decision-ready written record – not a framework your team must adopt.
Institutions
The problem
Policies, initiatives and programmes can meet their targets while the outcomes they were designed for remain out of reach.
What I do
I evaluate evidence, incentives and delivery structures, then translate the findings into policy advice, initiative design and practical implementation.
What you receive
From independent evaluations to repeatable systems for execution: clear decision criteria, evidence gates, responsibilities and review routines.
Ventures
The problem
The science is progressing, but product, customer adoption and funding are pulling in different directions. The next investment may solve the wrong constraint.
What I do
I identify what is holding the venture back and connect technical evidence, commercial choices and capital into a clear sequence of decisions.
What you receive
From independent evaluations to repeatable systems for execution: a prioritised route forward, evidence milestones, decision gates and review routines.
Independent expertise. A clear point of view.
I’m Maria, an independent expert connecting science, commercial strategy and capital. Through Arise Innovations®, I help institutions and ventures turn complex evidence into decisions they can act on.
