Transforming Decision-Making Through Innovation

Since 2012, we've been developing powerful AI applications that make complex decision-making more transparent, accurate, and accessible.

Our Innovation

Founded in 2012, we developed the groundbreaking Rapid Recursive® technology, now deployed in over 90 countries. Our solution addresses complex business challenges by providing transparent decision-making tools that account for real-world scenarios and risks.

Our Impact

From business analytics to consumer applications, our technology operates on workstations and web and mobile app platforms, helping organizations make better decisions through innovative software solutions that recognize real-world complexity.

Our Story

Born from the challenges faced by business and government clients, our journey began with Patrick Anderson's vision to create more transparent and effective decision-making tools. This led to years of development and ultimately the creation of our patented Rapid Recursive® technology.

Our Team

Led by President Dan Lipsy, with support from Patrick Anderson as executive chairperson, our team combines expertise in economics, software development, and business strategy to deliver cutting-edge solutions that transform how organizations approach decision-making.

Our Story

Supported Intelligence was formed in 2012 by Patrick Anderson and Anderson Economic Group to develop and license the Rapid Recursive® technology. Starting with that single innovative vision, our skilled developers and experts have introduced multiple innovations. As of 2025, RR applications have been successfully deployed in over 90 countries from business to consumer applications, on workstations and web and mobile app platforms.

The idea for the company grew from Patrick's work with challenges faced by business and government clients, some of which he describes in The Economics of Business Valuation (Stanford University Press, 2012). He recognized that existing software and decision models often were opaque, failed to recognize the decision options that people had available to them, and could not take into account the asymmetric risks and multiple-scenario nature of the real world. This led to a nearly seven year period of trial-and-error experimentation, resulting in the first prototype of the Rapid Recursive® Toolbox in December 2012.

Since then, the RR technology has been patented in two countries; used by people in over 90 countries; and ported to workstation and web and mobile app platforms.
