What is Analytica?

Analytica is a visual tool for creating, analyzing, and communicating decision models.

  • Its intuitive influence diagrams let you create a model the way you think, and communicate clearly with colleagues and clients.
  • Its Intelligent Arrays™ let you create and manage multidimensional tables with an ease and reliability unknown in spreadsheets.
  • Its efficient Monte Carlo lets you quickly evaluate risk and uncertainty, and find out what variables really matter and why.

If you use spreadsheets for building business models or policy analysis, Analytica will be a revelation. But don't take our word for it. Look at what users and reviewers say about Analytica. See case studies of applications. Then try it yourself with our 15-day free trial.
