Simulstrat delivers unique benefits:

1. Data capture and analysis: The data capture and analysis methodologies developed by Simulstrat ensure that decision-making processes as well as actual decisions can be assessed, in contrast to more traditional approaches that address only the final outcomes.
2. The quality of KCL War Studies personnel: The War Studies group at King's College London, has a reputation for academic excellence. It is the largest centre for military and security research in Europe.
3. Contacts of academic founders: The reputation, profile, and industry/government contacts of the founding academics and associated personnel creates an important advantage.
4. Access to King's College London experts: In addition to the founding academics, Simulstrat benefits from access to the broad range and depth of research expertise available across King's College London and the wider academic specialist community. King's College London, and other, academics are employed as consultants to provide specialist input into simulations. For example, health policy and epidemiology experts assist with avian flu pandemic simulations, natural disaster expertise in geography is applied to resilience planning simulations. Military and policy specialists are employed to analyse crisis response and crisis management simulations.
