From Business Problem to Working Model
Strangeworks Workflows
The bridge between business stakeholders and data scientists. Capture requirements in plain language, iterate on formulations, and execute on Strangeworks Compute.
From requirements to results.
Getting from a business problem to a working optimization model has always required different skill sets: business knowledge, mathematical modeling, and solver expertise. Workflows bridges that gap.
Step 1
Business stakeholders define the problem.
Through guided conversation, Workflows captures the components of an optimization problem as stakeholders describe their operations. No technical knowledge required.
Resources
Captures agents, vehicles, machines, or personnel. Automatically prompts for capacities, skills, availability, and costs.
Tasks & Demand
Identifies the work to be done: deliveries, visits, jobs. Extracts volumes, durations, priorities, and time windows.
Constraints & Rules
Surfaces the hard rules and soft preferences: certifications, labor agreements, customer requirements, and business policies.
Set strategy without writing formulas.
Business priorities like "minimize travel time" or "keep the same technician on repeat visits" translate directly into optimization objectives. Workflows lets stakeholders express these goals in plain language, then converts them into the mathematical logic solvers need.
The business side stays involved without needing to understand constraint programming. Operations researchers get clearly articulated priorities instead of vague requirements.
Priority Controls
Balance competing objectives like cost vs. service quality with intuitive controls that map to optimization weights.
Policy Toggles
Enable business rules like "prefer continuity" or "match skills" that become constraint terms in the model.
Gap Detection
Intelligent prompts surface missing information before it becomes a blocker for the modeling team.
Step 2
Data scientists validate and compare.
Workflows handles the technical modeling and solver execution automatically. Data scientists can focus on what matters: validating that solutions make sense, comparing approaches, and ensuring results meet business requirements.
Validate Feasibility
Review constraint satisfaction and catch edge cases. Verify the model produces sensible results before deploying to production.
Compare Solutions
Benchmark solution quality across different solvers and configurations. Understand trade-offs between cost, time, and other objectives.
Analyze Performance
Track solve times, resource usage, and scalability. Make informed decisions about which approach works best for your data.
Tools that let data scientists focus on results.
Workflows handles the modeling complexity. You get the tools to connect to solvers, deploy to production, validate feasibility, and compare results.
Solver Connectivity
Connect directly to Strangeworks solvers. Simulate and solve your models. Access quantum, quantum-inspired, HPC, and classical compute.
Decisions Deployment
Support for multiple modeling languages. Deploy models quickly into Strangeworks Decisions. Move from prototype to production-ready faster.
Model Validation
Verify your model is still feasible. Catch constraint conflicts and modeling errors. Confirm model behavior before deployment.
Clean Comparisons
Compare solver results side by side, benchmark performance, and make informed decisions on solver selection.
Execute on Strangeworks Compute.
When the model is ready, Workflows connects directly to the Strangeworks solver stack. Run on quantum, quantum-inspired, HPC, or classical compute depending on your problem characteristics.
Decisions
Deploy models for business users. Decisions provides a no-code interface where operators can run optimizations and adapt plans as reality unfolds.
HybridSolver
Our solver orchestration engine that automatically routes problems to the best-fit solver.
Strangeworks Compute
Direct access to quantum, quantum-inspired, HPC, and classical solvers when you need low-level control.
