Many investment decisions are complex, with:

• Limited funds for investment
• Multiple objectives
• Many possible solutions

In some cases, this complexity can obscure the key issues and criteria, making it difficult to arrive at a decision. In others, a decision-maker's intuition and experience can direct him to a clear choice, but it may be difficult to gather the hard evidence to justify it.

Polaris has successfully supported a variety of BOI studies, using a range of techniques suited to the nature of the challenge. These include:

• Facilitation at workshops and Military Judgement Panels
• Data analysis and visualisation
• Effects-based planning and modelling techniques
