What Makes Scarce Ideas Unique?

Founded in April 2000, our Scarce Ideas™ information and technology consulting and advisory service offers proprietary computer consulting services in the area of data analysis and pattern recognition. Exclusive licensing in specific markets is negotiable.

The Ideal Client

Our ideal Client is someone who either suspects or has already concluded that their database analyses restrict – for some unknown reasons – the scope of results. Databases often contain multiple categories of buried order. It is these hidden categories which ultimately restrict the scope of results and create the need to discover and extract them.

Although several problems can block discovery of these hidden categories, they can be addressed. However, the extraction process proves more difficult. Unstated assumptions, reflected by one's choice of analysis tools, are the usual source of this difficulty.

Statistical tools are usually employed to analyze data and discover hidden categories. However, the use of statistics requires us to choose a target mathematical function (e.g., Linear, Polynomial, Sinewave, etc.) to best model the data set. Consequently, poor choices yield false categories. At the highest level, it is time to ask, "Is a new paradigm demanded?" – Yes!

The Scarce Ideas™ Paradigm

Scarce Ideas™ technology employs a proprietary paradigm that does not require anyone to use mathematical assumptions.

Whether hidden by complexity, chaos, or obvious in Nature, client data will self-organize and all order will be discovered.

Paraphrasing an example given by Doyne Farmer in his July, 1994 interview "Cracking Wall Street" for Wired magazine, baseball players do not catch fly balls by solving Isaac Newton's equations of motion! In short, no mathematical model, describing the trajectory of a fly ball, has ever been used by any player to A) Arrive at the correct fielding position, B) Hold the glove in the right position, and C) Catch the ball.
