About Advtics

Our Story

Advanced Analytics was founded on the belief that sound economic decision-making is grounded in rigorous, data-driven analysis supported by quantitative models. We support decision-makers by assessing the economic and social impact of policies and programs, and evaluating alternatives based on clear quantitative foundations. Our approach relies on developing and adapting advanced economic and econometric models tailored to the local and institutional context of each entity, ensuring practical applicability. We transform complex data into actionable insights and implementable recommendations that support strategic planning and reduce risk. The company is led by Dr. Ahmed Al-Zahrani, Economic Advisor, Founder, and Chairman, alongside a specialized team with multidisciplinary quantitative expertise.

Mission

To empower public and private sector leaders with rigorous, actionable insights. By combining deep industry expertise with state-of-the-art quantitative frameworks—including advanced econometrics and data science—we bridge the gap between complex analytical theory and optimal, real-world implementation.

Vision

To be the region's premier quantitative consulting firm, shaping a future where advanced economic modeling and strategic foresight elevate the standard of strategic planning and policy-making.

The Decision Gap… and Our Solution

We operate in an environment characterized by complexity and rapidly evolving variables, where descriptive indicators alone are insufficient for high-impact decision-making.

We exist to bridge the decision gap by transforming decisions from qualitative judgment into evidence-based outcomes supported by quantitative analysis that measures both direct and indirect impacts and reduces risk.

Our methodology begins with framing the decision question, developing scenarios, and analyzing the gaps between them to support informed trade-offs. We deliver clear, structured, and auditable outputs that enable decision-makers to make precise decisions that are defensible from a governance and regulatory perspective.

Leverage our expertise in cutting-edge mathematical and statistical techniques to unlock deeper insights from your data, enabling informed and strategic decision-making.
Gain a competitive edge with our proficiency in quantitative finance, as we apply sophisticated models to analyze financial data and guide you in making sound and profitable business decisions.

Navigate through complex economic landscapes with confidence. Our adept team uses econometric methodologies to unveil hidden trends and patterns, providing you with a clear understanding of the economic forces at play.

Our methodology at work

Decision Support

We emphasize that quantitative analysis is a tool to support—not replace—decision-making, with the primary objective of reducing uncertainty and enhancing the quality of strategic decisions.

Knowledge Transfer and Capability Building

We focus on empowering organizations by transferring both methodological and applied knowledge related to models and analytics, through hands-on training and internal capability development, ensuring the sustainable use of analytical tools and enhancing teams' effectiveness in supporting decision-making.

Actionable Outputs

We translate quantitative results into clear recommendations and structured, presentation-ready outputs that support decision-makers in evaluating alternatives and making evidence-based decisions.

Impact Assessment

We measure the direct, indirect. and induced impacts of policies or programs on key macroeconomic and sectoral indicators (such as GDP, employment, and investment), while accounting for interlinkages across economic sectors.

Integrated Modeling

We integrate a suite of quantitative models within a unified framework, where the outputs of each model serve as inputs to others, enabling a more comprehensive analysis across short-, medium-, and long-term horizons.

Model Development

We develop an integrated analytical framework based on appropriate economic and econometric models aligned with the nature of the decision (such as general equilibrium models, macroeconometric models, and forecasting models), tailored to the local and sectoral context.

Scenario Development

We establish a baseline scenario (no intervention), then develop alternative scenarios reflecting proposed policies or options, in order to measure the differences between them and assess the impact of each choice.

Decision Framing

We begin by clearly defining the decision question and understanding its economic and institutional context, while identifying the scope of analysis and relevant indicators to ensure the analytical effort is directed toward the intended objective.
