Octant AI was founded by two Oxford University colleagues determined to help address one of the biggest challenges in the construction industry, globally.
Octant AI was founded to solve a problem we’ve lived ourselves: the persistent financial unpredictability that plagues project of all sizes, and all types.
After decades of experience leading major capital programs, our founders saw the same story repeat across industries—cost overruns, missed margins, and risks identified too late. Traditional tools and dashboards reported on what had already happened, but never offered business leaders a reliable view of what was coming next.
In 2016, while studying at the University of Oxford, our founding team connected with global experts in megaproject performance including Professor Bent Flyvberg, who has become an advisor and investor in Octant AI. That collaboration led to the development of Octant AI: a predictive platform designed from the ground up to deliver early, actionable insights to help better manage financial risk in portfolios of projects.
Today, Octant AI empowers leaders across construction, infrastructure, government, and energy to forecast financial outcomes with up to 95% accuracy and months of advance warning. Our technology works even in data-scarce environments, integrating easily with legacy systems and providing clear, accessible predictions to help improve capital productivity, manage financial uncertainty, and deliver for the bottom line.
Backed by Oxford research and tested across billions in project value, Octant AI is more than a tool—it’s a smarter way to lead high-stakes initiatives with confidence.
