“Technology selection can be hard. I’m so impressed with Dave Mroczka and 9-HI™’s vision to optimize investments in the right technology areas that I immediately introduced him to our Microsoft for Startups team. I can’t wait to see what they deploy next.”

Anupam Gupta
CTO, Aerospace and Defense Microsoft Federal

“The development of 9-HI™ as presented to me as an AI-based, Product & Technology Collaboration Platform accessible by all levels of the DoD services and industry/academia represents a very powerful new capability to accellerate new technology development and/or deployment to our warfighters.”

Charlie Zisette
Executive Director
National Armaments Consortium

The technology scrapyard is littered with “coulda- beens”

90% of technology development ends in failure, leading to

$1.47T wasted on technology that never sees the light of day.

Despite all the advances in technology, decision-making has not evolved to meet the complex needs of today’s leaders.

Decision making before 9-HI™

Lacking context

Inherently biased

Limited knowledge share

Failure to identify red flags early on

Missing/de-prioritizing key issues

A different process for every investment and development effort

Decision making using 9-HI™

Retain Institutional Intelligence

Grounded in data and peer reviewed facts

A system of record with cross team documentation

SME guidance and AI support to avoid expensive mistakes

Human/AI guidance through the 9-HI scorecard to help make evidence-based decisions

A standard process for Technology Acquisition & Development

9-HI is the first Collaborative Decision Intelligence platform. The future of decision-making is here.

We combine the best traits of human intelligence and AI to help organizations make more informed decisions on which technologies to invest in (or not invest in).
