Scientific Metrics

Scientific Metrics develops tools and resources focused on decision-making, evaluation, and the mathematical foundations of social science. Its flagship product, Tetra, is software for multi-criteria decision analysis, designed to help users compare alternatives against defined criteria and sub-criteria. Users provide ratings for each alternative and assign weights to reflect the relative importance of the criteria; Tetra combines this information to produce preference scales.

The company presents the software as intuitive and accessible, with complex mathematics handled behind the scenes, so users do not need mathematical expertise. Tetra is available for download and as a software-as-a-service offering, and the site provides a quick-start guide and online documentation. Scientific Metrics also shares publications, presentations, FAQs, and materials on topics including decision theory, utility theory, numerical mathematics, optimization, and neural networks.

Its resources include the book Pure Economics and educational content examining established ideas and methods. The company invites visitors to contact it for information and details about its services
