Turn structural confusion into provable coherence.

Cohomology Systems helps research institutes, think tanks, and advanced organisations resolve deep structural conflicts in their portfolios, KPIs, and operating models — using graph-based optimisation, topological modelling, and AI-native decision intelligence.

You don’t have a performance problem. You have a structure problem.

Most leadership teams already know:

• You have smart people.
• You have plenty of data.
• You have dashboards, OKRs, and “alignment workshops.”

And yet:

• Critical projects stall or cannibalise each other.
• Different units fight over the same capacity and budget.
• Every year, the same conflicts reappear with new names.

This is not a reporting issue. It is not a motivation issue.
It is a structural issue: the way goals, responsibilities, and constraints are wired together makes coherent execution extremely hard — or mathematically impossible.

Cohomology Systems exists to detect and resolve those structural impossibilities.

Three engines. One outcome: global organisational coherence.

1. Operational Optimisation (OR Engine)

Eliminate obvious overload and waste.

We use advanced operations research to:

• Optimise staff and lab allocations across your project portfolio.
• Improve throughput without burning out key people.
• Surface bottlenecks, idle capacity, and misaligned workloads.

You get clear heatmaps, concrete allocation scenarios, and immediate wins on utilisation and delivery.

---

2. Structural Coherence (Topological Engine)

Prove where your model is impossible — and how to fix it.

We build a rigorous constraints model of your organisation and apply topological and algebraic tools to:

• Identify loops of objectives and rules that cannot be satisfied simultaneously.
• Distinguish fixable inefficiencies from hard structural impossibilities.
• Design minimal, high-leverage changes to targets, mandates, and interfaces.

You get a board-level “coherence map” that shows exactly where your operating model is structurally self-contradictory, and what to change.

3. Adaptive Intelligence (Graph AI Engine)

Keep coherence as reality shifts.

We deploy graph-based machine learning to:

• Continuously learn patterns of load, collaboration, and risk.
• Detect emerging conflicts and incoherent patterns early.
• Re-rank priorities and allocations as conditions change.

You get a living decision graph that updates as your environment, staffing, and strategy evolve — without rebuilding models from scratch every quarter.

Designed for organisations where complexity is the norm.

We are a specialised partner for institutions where:

• Research portfolios span dozens to hundreds of active projects.
• Multiple units share people, labs, and budgets.
• Strategy, operations, and finance are tightly coupled but often misaligned.
• Small structural mistakes quietly waste millions over a 3–5 year horizon.

Typical clients:

• National research institutes
• Policy research centres and think tanks
• University research offices and graduate schools
• Innovation and transformation units in large organisations

Start with a 60-minute structural clarity session.

In one working session with your leadership team, we:

• Map the 3–5 “chronic” friction points in your current operating model.
• Show you how they look in our structural framework.
• Outline what a coherence audit would examine and deliver.

No slide theatre. No generic “best practices.”
Just a direct look at how your organisation is wired — and where that wiring may be forcing unnecessary pain.
