Matrix

Exploring decision support with a clear place for human judgment.

Matrix is SOFTech's early, privately funded internal prototype. Its broader decision-support vision remains proposed research and development.

Context Studio: a testing preview.

Use the built-in fictional example to see how information from two project tools can be brought together. Choose what belongs together, inspect disagreements, and download a handoff for review.

We are testing this workflow before offering services. This preview is not a customer-ready service or evidence that an AI assistant will understand every detail correctly.

Explore the Studio preview

Start with fictional or non-sensitive test data. The preview accepts JSON exports, a file format some project tools provide. Files stay in your browser while you work; Studio does not connect to your accounts or send information to an AI assistant.

One task. Two statements worth checking.

Both statements stay in the handoff, with the source of each. The difference remains visible for review.

A question for future research

How could a decision-support system help people revisit a decision when the evidence changes? The following example illustrates a possible direction for future work, beyond what the current prototype demonstrates.

In a fictional community storm-recovery exercise, a coordinator is comparing locations to stage supplies. A new road closure report changes what is known about access to one of the sites.

Fictional exercise. Synthetic information for illustration only; not a product screenshot or a demonstration of Matrix functionality.

  1. Check the evidence

    The comparison starts with the available reports. New information changes the picture.

    Earlier exercise report
    The site's access road is open.
    Updated exercise report
    The access road is now closed. The site's suitability needs another review.

  2. Understand the tradeoffs

    Hard constraints
    For this exercise, a site needs usable access and backup power.
    Weighted preferences
    The coordinator weighs delivery distance, storage capacity, and readiness among options that meet the requirements.

  3. Keep a human review point

    The coordinator reviews the updated source, revisits the comparison, and explains the reasoning behind the exercise decision.

    The coordinator remains responsible for the decision.
