USE CASES
We go to extremes to expose and replicate your high value system's reality. Our AI-driven Synthetic Edge Entities replicate the context and behaviours of any connected system, environment, people, economics, and even physics involved.
We unlock the realism you require for certainty. We incorporate domain expertise, historical, generated or even anticipated data, behavioural research, logical and generative models, and even mirrors of live activity.

April 2024, Synthetic Resiliency Modeling on Extended Power Outages
RUNWITHIT Synthetics (RWI), in collaboration with EPRI, is applying synthetic modeling to forecast human impacts to enhanced community response planning. This helps the City of Nashville and Nashville Electric Service (NES) assess the outcomes of a widespread outage, particularly on vulnerable populations, and the benefits of potential distributed energy resource (DER) deployments.
