Ontonix - the only Company with Technology for Measuring Complexity of Processes and Systems. In Real Time.
Established in 2005, Ontonix is a technology company and a complexity research lab headquartered in Como, Italy.
The unusual technology developed by Ontonix - Artificial Intuition - focuses on countering what most threatens safety, advanced products, critical infrastructures, or IT network security - the rapid growth of complexity. We specialise in solving the nastiest, super-complex and large-scale problems of the industry, corporations and government agencies.
Artificial Intuition is new technology. It provides answers very quickly because it doesn’t require lengthy Machine Learning. This means there is no learning bias. Artificial Intuition is powered by Quantitative Complexity Management (QCM).
Since highly complex systems are inherently fragile, it is paramount to monitor, diagnose and manage their complexity.
Ontonix is different from companies that claim to manage complexity because we have a complexity metric. This means that we MEASURE complexity. This allows us to see fragility and risk in a totally new light.
Ontonix derives from 'ontology', the philosophical study of the nature of being, becoming, existence, or reality.
We invest an unusually significant portion of our revenue in R&D. This is a great way to protect our Intellectual Property - to always remain a few steps ahead.

Our Partners
Since 2009, Ontonix and Prof. Dr. Christoph Ph. Schließmann have maintained a close cooperation and research alliance, combining Ontonix's Quantitative Complexity Managenent diagnostics with Schließmann's legal, strategic, and systemic expertise with the goal of creating actionable methodologies for navigating and leading in an increasingly volatile world. This unique combination of real-time complexity analytics and human strategy logic has given rise to interdisciplinary tools like the StrategieAI framework, which has already been applied across industries from manufacturing and energy to pharma and public policy.
