SocratesTM is a collaboration platform for structuring complex arguments and decisions. Originally developed for safety and cybersecurity assurance, this platform can also be used for collaborative decision-making by professionals in business, government, healthcare and scientific research.
A complex argument or decision can be structured into multiple levels of increasing detail, tracing from a top-level claim or decision to supporting evidence and justification. Using SocratesTM, geographically distributed teams can navigate through complexities to converge on a common understanding.
Socrates supports state-of-the-art assurance case techniques and notations, including Goal Structured Notation (GSN) and Eliminative Argumentation (EA). Socrates provides multiple views of your assurance case, so you can focus on systems assurance instead of getting caught up in notational details.
