AIM in Consulting
AIM is the investment optimisation platform used by infrastructure owners across water, gas, highways and multi-utility sectors to plan smarter, more transparent investment strategies.
If you advise organisations in any of these areas, helping them decide how, where and when to invest, AIM can give you a clear advantage.
It brings speed, precision and clarity to your modelling, helping you deliver better insights, stronger business cases, and more confident recommendations.
AIM is a platform, not a consulting service, and our role is to support you with the technical backup you need to get the most from it.
Using AIM to deliver for your clients
Probit was established with a clear conviction: that infrastructure investment decisions could, and should, be made with more clarity, rigour and confidence.
When we started out on the AIM journey, many organisations were still relying on spreadsheets, static reports, or portfolio-level models to decide how billions in capital would be spent. The process was slow, opaque, and often shaped more by assumptions than by evidence.
We believed there was a better way. So we set out to build a platform that could bring together risk, performance, cost and regulatory alignment, and optimise those decisions at the level of individual assets.
That platform is AIM. It was designed from the ground up to meet the specific challenges of capital-intensive infrastructure sectors, and has been refined and expanded ever since in collaboration with our clients, partners and regulators.
Today, AIM is used across the UK and internationally by organisations responsible for managing water, gas, roads and other critical assets. And we're still driven by the same principle that started it: better data, better models, better decisions.
AIM. A robust competitive advantage in consulting.
When you're advising clients on high-stakes investment decisions, speed, clarity, and credibility matter.
AIM gives you all three, with the modelling power to back them up.
AIM's advanced engineering enables it to simulate millions of investment scenarios in minutes.
It then leans on the exceptional capabilities of the Gurobi optimisation engine used by global leaders in finance, logistics and energy to select the optimal scenario.
This lets you move faster from analysis to insight, and from insight to recommendation.
Compared to traditional approaches — spreadsheets, static tools, or off-the-shelf platforms — AIM offers serious advantages:
Faster turnaround
Rapid modelling means quicker insight and better client responsiveness.
Transparent, configurable logic
Models can be reviewed, adjusted and explained clearly.
Asset-level optimisation
We believe in transparency, openness and shared understanding. Our platform, like our working style, is designed to be clear and controllable.
Adaptable frameworks
Valuation methods, risk weightings and constraints can be tailored per engagement.
Full control of your models
No hidden logic, no proprietary barriers, and no need to come back to us to make changes.
