Know before you commit.
Your project may be new. What makes it work usually isn't.
Most organisations already know more than they use.
Useful information is often spread across reports, systems, teams and other projects. Some is hard to find. Some is missing context. And much of what people learn while delivering a project is never captured.
AI can process information faster than ever, but it can't judge which experience truly applies to your decision.
Useful information sits in different places
Reports, systems, teams and other projects can each hold part of the picture.
Teams spend time finding what they need
People can spend weeks finding and making sense of information that already exists.
It arrives after the decision is made
By the time it reaches the right people, the options are fewer and changes are more costly.
What one project learns can be lost to the next
Experience stays with individuals, or inside one project, instead of helping the next one.
We turn project information into something you can use.
Kalvar helps your team find useful information from similar projects, make sense of it, and apply it to the decision in front of them. Think of it as the new institutional memory.
Find
We find projects that faced a similar situation, even when they look different on the surface. Judging which ones genuinely compare is the hard part, and it is the skill this is built on.
Extract
We pull together what happened, what people did, what they learned and the data behind it.
Compare
We compare those projects to understand what worked, what did not, and what appears to have made the difference.
Apply
We work out what matters for your project and what the team should do or test next.
We work across defence, infrastructure, energy, transport, government, technology and complex delivery environments, on situations like these.
Work with us, or learn to do it yourself.
Find what matters before it costs you
We work inside your organisation, alongside your team on live projects, programmes or portfolios, until the approach becomes part of how you work.
Bring us a projectLearn to find what matters
Five live evening sessions for people who make project decisions. Learn how to find useful information from similar projects, make sense of it, and apply it to the decision in front of you.

Programme of projects
Compared to similar programme of projects, it finished around 50% faster and about A$2.5 million was saved in professional costs, with no disputes. The programme of projects differed in one respect: capturing fragmented data and information from similar projects.
Nothing here that cannot be checked
No borrowed logos, no invented case studies, and no figures without a source behind them. If a claim cannot be verified, it is not on this page.

Duro brings together two fields that rarely meet: experience leading complex projects and research on how people reason with AI and transfer what they know to situations they haven't faced.
Know before you commit.
Working on a project others need to back? Tell us about the project and the decision in front of you. We’ll look at what your project already knows, what similar projects can tell us, and what information could make the difference.
