If you have a question that needs answering in an objective, fact-based, analytical, defensible way, Level 4 may be able to help you. Our Decision Science practice starts with our people, and we extend our capabilities with our proprietary ExcelerPlan platform. The former Chief Financial Officer of a Fortune 50 Bank leads our practice, which includes Ph.D-level mathematicians, subject matter experts, and other brilliant thinkers. Our government clients particularly appreciate the defensibility of our Decision Science engagements.

Even with the best of intentions, lawmakers can craft legislation with thorny compliance requirements. Level 4 assesses, quantifies, and reports on the downstream effects of legislation so that public servants can decide on the right language before legal finalization, and government entities can be compliant with newly passed laws afterward.

Yes, and we do this very well. Our approach, which we have honed over 30 years in business, starts with a thorough, objective review of existing processes. We consider the costs and benefits of several alternatives, then provide a formal recommendation for a new way to do, improve or optimize your procedure. We always solicit and incorporate your staff’s brilliant ideas into these new techniques. After all, processes are just people working together in a structured way to achieve consistent and repeatable outcomes. And most importantly, before completing the engagement, we ensure that your team has the training, knowledge, and buy-in that they need to succeed. In one engagement with the Veterans Administration, we re-engineered and improved the staffing models for all 56 Regional Offices as well as the main office, yielding dramatically better outcomes for our Nation’s heroes.

We help any industry that needs to make analytical-based decisions, from long-haul trucking to cannabis to banking. For example, we have helped the Colorado government set competitive, optimal fees for long-haul truckers; provided advice on whether or not California should launch a State-backed bank for medical marijuana patients and retailers; and assessed the economic costs and benefits of proposed legislation affecting approximately 2,300 debt collectors, payday lenders, and other financial services companies in California.
