The SOLAR product range begins with an organisation’s most valuable asset: its people. The patented methodology SOLAR Acquire is a groundbreaking development, as for the first time it allows a person’s decision-making on any given subject to be exhaustively revealed. SOLAR Acquire even taps into elements of a person’s experience which they have forgotten about and now use subconsciously to solve problems. This makes it uniquely powerful, and allows us to have supreme confidence that the knowledgebases created using SOLAR Acquire are complete, correct and consistent.
How does it do this? By a unique combination of logic and philosophy. The logic bit is what makes it work so well with computers. The philosophy bit is a practical application of an idea expressed by many philosophers since Socrates, but most famously by the great 20th Century thinker, Sir Karl Popper. His work on the subject can best be summarised by the statement “Seeing only white swans is no proof that black swans don’t exist”. It reveals an important truth about how we should best investigate the world around us and record what we know. Because it guides us to look for exceptions to cherished beliefs. It is only in the absence of exceptions that we get to hold on to those cherished beliefs!
The result of this unusual combination of logic and philosophy is lattice-like structures which represent a person’s decision-making. They look a bit like decision trees; however they are anything but. They encode the complete DNA of an individual’s expertise on a given subject. And, being lattices, they are inherently robust structures: easy to create, easy to understand and easy to modify.
