Assessment & Evaluation

Insight That Drives Strategic Action

We deliver tailored assessments, cost models, and operational simulations that empower leaders to make confident, data-informed decisions in complex environments.

ORGANIZATIONS OFTEN FACE:

  • Uncertainty when comparing alternatives or evaluating new concepts.
  • Difficulty quantifying total cost of ownership or lifecycle support needs.
  • Limited visibility into how proposed solutions will perform in real-world operational scenarios.
  • Pressure to make high-stakes decisions with incomplete or fragmented data.

OUR APPROACH:

We combine technical expertise with structured facilitation and modeling to deliver end-to-end analysis that supports mission-critical decisions. Our approach is:

  • Integrated: We bring together decision support, cost modeling, and operational simulation into a cohesive evaluation process.
  • Tailored: Every engagement is customized to your mission, system type, and decision environment.
  • Analytical & Practical: We use proven methods—parametric, analogy-based, and scenario-driven—to produce actionable insights.
  • Mission-Focused: Our work is grounded in operational realities and designed to support decisions in resource-constrained environments.

DECISION SUPPORT SERVICES:

We support strategic decision-making through:

  • Business case analysis
  • Analysis of alternatives (AoA)
  • Course of action (COA) evaluation
  • End-to-end modeling and facilitation

COST ESTIMATION & MODELING SERVICES

We provide full-spectrum cost analysis, including:

  • Lifecycle cost estimation
  • Total cost of ownership modeling
  • Net present value (NPV) and purchasing power analysis
  • Supportability and sustainment cost modeling

OPERATIONAL MODELING & SIMULATION SUPPORT:

We evaluate solution viability through:

  • Operational effectiveness and suitability modeling
  • Architecture trade-off analysis
  • Scenario-based simulation
  • Risk evaluation based on performance assumptions and technology readiness

ORGANIZATIONS THAT WORK WITH US:

  • Make faster, more confident decisions backed by rigorous analysis.
  • Understand the full cost and support implications of their options.
  • Identify the most operationally effective and sustainable solutions.
  • Reduce risk and increase alignment across stakeholders and decision-makers.

WHY CHOOSE FORGE FORWARD:

  • Cross-Disciplinary Expertise: We blend engineering, facilitation, and modeling to deliver comprehensive evaluations.
  • Proven Methods: Our team applies structured, repeatable approaches tailored to your system and mission.
  • Trusted by Leaders: We’ve supported high-stakes decisions across defense, government, and enterprise sectors.

Success Stories

Forge led a Business Case Analysis (BCA) identifying operational and financial efficiencies to consolidate and integrate U.S. Navy Network Operational Centers (NOC) tactical capabilities. This resulted in DON CIO and OPNAV N2N6 decisions and over $34M in efficiencies while maximizing operational capabilities. One decision was the integration of Military Sealift Command (MSC) NOCs with the rest of the tactical U.S. Navy increasing operational security, effectiveness, and interoperability.

Forge developed a Cloud as a Service application hosting pricing model for worldwide tactical users. This pricing model defines cost reimbursement rate cards between military activities while maximizing capabilities through the integration into a global tactical application hosting environment.
