About Hypatia:
Overview (cont.)
Underlying philosophy of the construct of Hypatia:
• Employs an Activity Based Costing [ABC] technique
• Continuously collects and validates data inputs from multiple
sources
• Highly self-critical; acknowledges inaccuracies and adjusts
accordingly
• Adaptable to a complex and uncertain world
• Recognizes the inability by anyone to precisely predict the future

About Hypatia:
Key Value Propositions
Reduces time to deliver analytics by 30-50% and provides estimates that are
within +/- 20% of actual life cycle costs
Enables Product Support life cycle costs to be reduced by 15-20%
Has been employed for major DoD weapon system Program Offices:
USA, USN, USMC, USAF and CST
Conforms to DoD OSD Guidebooks: Business Case Analysis, Product Support
Manager and O&S Cost Estimating
Through its simulation capabilities, it can assist customers to hone in on what
are the key life cycle costs; reduces wasted time on focusing on immaterial
cost elements

Hypatia Next Steps
-Demo build of a GUI that pulls from an Oracle/other database. Require
significant IT investment in order to make as robust/simple as possible. All
data sets and formulas are assembled and ready for implementation.
-Backing by a commercial or federal organization that is willing to collaborate
the commercialization of a proven analytic tool.
- Strategy around licensing/pay-per-use/on-demand capabilities.
-Pricing model and go-to-market strategy collaborating with Giuntini & Co.
-Bring to market a first-of-it’s-kind, easy-to-use, highly robust tool that
greatly decreases the traditional time, effort and cost associated with target
cost analysis estimating.
