imgEstimation Intelligence™

The estimation platform for decision-making under uncertainty.

Turn incomplete inputs into governable commitments that drive informed decisions and survive scrutiny, turnover, and audits.

Organizations don’t just need fast answers.
They need governed commitments under uncertainty while preserving expert judgment.

That’s where Estimation Intelligence comes in.

Only 0%

of professionals report being confident in their cost estimation accuracy.1

Less than 0%

of organizations currently use automation in cost, schedule, or risk workflows.2

Less than 0%

automate less than half of their project and cost estimates.1

COMMIT EARLIER WITHOUT GUESSWORK

From auto manufacturing to energy to healthcare, Estimation Intelligence turns incomplete inputs into decision-ready insights in minutes.

Standardize how estimates are formed so reviews focus on decisions and trade-offs, not rebuilding logic from scratch.

Preserve accountability with traceable assumptions, explicit uncertainty, and a clear approval path across finance, engineering, procurement, and program leadership.

Keep commitments durable through staffing changes, timeline pressure, audits, supplier negotiations, and customer scrutiny.

of cost, schedule, and risk professionals cite poor access to quality data as the top blocker to AI adoption.3

GOVERNABLE ESTIMATION

Model with discipline, not spreadsheets.

Standardize estimating logic across teams so leadership can compare programs rather than reconcile competing “versions of truth.”

Preserve rationale through versioning, approvals, and traceability so estimates remain legible months later, after people rotate, memories fade, and incentives shift.

Create a closed loop between estimates and outcomes so your organization learns over time, not one project at a time.

img87%

of CIOs still rely primarily on spreadsheet software for estimation, but only 12% are “very confident” in estimate accuracy.4

NO AI BLACK BOXES

Estimation-Centric AI accelerates the work that slows experts down, while keeping humans in control.

Apply purpose-built AI to convert messy inputs (documents, narratives, requirements) into structured estimation building blocks; faster start, fewer missed drivers.

Surface gaps, inconsistencies, and weak justifications early so teams fix issues before executive review, pricing, or submission deadlines.

Preserve defensibility: outputs stay tied to controlled inputs, role boundaries, review steps, and an auditable record.

img71%

of cost professionals want AI to automate repetitive estimation work, but only 37% currently use AI in their estimation workflows.2

Explore SEERai→

SEER is the modeling foundation of Estimation Intelligence.

SEER is an estimation system of record that sits between PLM intent and ERP actuals, delivering product-specific functionality coupled with domain-based project knowledge.

From software to manufacturing to hardware, each SEER module integrates with SEERai and supports the same executive outcomes: faster decisions with commitments that remain traceable and review-ready across cost, schedule, and risk.

imgDecision velocity

Shorten the time from request to defensible estimate to executive decision from weeks or months to hours or minutes

imgDefensibility

Keep assumptions, logic, and approvals attached so scrutiny improves decision-making rather than causing rework.

imgContinuous learning

Connect estimates to outcomes to improve accuracy and reduce the potential for repeat surprises.

HARDWARE SOFTWARE MANUFACTURING IT SPACE

HARDWARE

SEER for Hardware: Cost, schedule, and risk commitments that hold up in reviews and sustainment planning.

Build lifecycle commitments early, before designs mature and before actuals exist. Keep estimate logic legible for oversight, negotiations, and audit-driven environments. Reduce keyperson dependency by capturing rationale in repeatable structures.

MANUFACTURING

SEER for Manufacturing: Manufacturing economics you can use to drive design trade-offs, sourcing decisions, and launch readiness. Fully integrated with CATIA by Dassault Systèmes and SEER-3D.

Estimate manufacturing cost from part geometry, process steps, and material choices to bring cost reality forward. Compare alternatives across processes, suppliers, and production strategies before costs escalate. Support designtocost and shouldcost workflows with traceable assumptions and reviewable outputs.

IT

SEER for Information Technology: IT program cost and schedule commitments built for scrutiny, not optimism.

Model IT project cost, staffing, labor requirements, and schedule for infrastructure and deployment decisions. Improve portfolio planning by tying estimates to explicit drivers instead of inherited guesses. Keep commitments reviewready across modernization, migration, and hybrid delivery realities.

SEERai brings Estimation-Centric AI into estimation without compromising accountability.

SEERai isn't a generic artificial intelligence.

It is built for estimation work where accuracy must be source-backed, reasoning must be traceable, and outputs must survive review. It converts messy inputs into structured artifacts, supports agent-driven workflows across estimation tasks, and keeps people in control through defined review points and a durable activity record.

Book a Consultation

Traceability

Use AI workflows to translate narrative inputs into structured WBS, BOM, and estimate elements faster, with traceability to source material.

Defensibility

Keep outputs defensible through controlled retrieval, audit records, and human approval checkpoints.

Integration

Integrated with SEER solutions to ensure maximum efficiency and Estimation Intelligence enablement.

Security

Compatible with self-hosted, private cloud, air-gapped, or hybrid infrastructures. Supports isolated tenant deployment, ensuring CUI and sensitive data are secure.

FILLS THE GAP BETWEEN YOUR ERP AND PLM

PLM systems manage product definition. ERP systems manage execution and financial actuals. Estimation Intelligence manages the gap that creates overruns: the cost, schedule, and risk commitments leaders approve before designs are mature and before actuals exist.

Estimation Intelligence is how organizations move forward without waiting for a broader ERP/PLM transformation while ensuring commitments are review-ready.

What are you working on?

Whether you are building the latest EV automobile, designing a new satellite, or bidding on a government contract, Estimation Intelligence will help you take your assumptions and data to clean estimates quickly and accurately.
