What We Do
NSI is a professional services firm specializing in multidisciplinary data-driven analytics.

Our value proposition is deeper analysis and clarifying insights enabling our clients to make more informed and better decisions.
Deeper Analysis
To create meaningful analyses one must move beyond asking “what happened” and instead ask “why it happened” and understand the conditions under which it might happen again.

Clarifying Insights
Data is abundant. Plots and graphs are easy. Insights are hard. But when they are created, they can be hugely powerful because they are actionable and create value for the client.

Better Decisions
Diversity provokes thought. Decades of research have shown that, for solving complex problems, diversity – a fundamental tenet of NSI – creates far better results than does homogeneity.
