Visualization is a critical aspect of any analytic development. Koan has significant expertise at taking very high-dimensional data, selecting or building analytic tools to represent and support the interpretation of the analysis that might not otherwise be apparent to domain experts without Koan’s analytic tools.
Koan’s developers have significant experience working in the important field of HCI. HCI is first about the user experience. HCI studies how a user engages, explores, and makes sense of data and analyses through the interface. Koan’s technology has been designed with an intuitive interface that requires minimal instruction to jump in and start navigating the interface and engage its tools. HCI also pertains to the user experience of the feature integration in the system. When one component of the interface changes, all associated aspects of the interface change as well— from map views, document lists, detail views, etc. Koan has spent years of development time ensuring that our pipeline features don’t just work, but that they work in an intuitive and seamless way for our users. The majority of analytics is about refinement and improvement to models. As our clients are exploring their data, and learning from our analytics – our technology development and analytics are continually refined. As users interact with our tools, the analytics can be refined and observations can by documented. By design the system is also project-based whereby groups of users can easily be added to a project, based on their user credentials. As individual team members contribute and document their results in the platform – this new knowledge is made available to all, making a strong feedback loop.
