ABOUT VERILUMA
Veriluma’s patented collaborative decision-making software engine, Intelfuze, was initially developed by a Commonwealth Research Centre before being acquired by Veriluma in 2008. In 2010, Veriluma was established and began developing the application and secured patents for the software.

Veriluma’s unique software has been developed to critically aid individuals, businesses, governments and their agencies to significantly reduce the margin of error in their strategic decision-making, by better ensuring that the available facts, the tested logic and the reasoning frameworks used are objective and transparent. Unique algorithms and applications provide objective outcomes which lead to more efficient decision-making. Application opportunities exist globally across a wide range of industries, including banking and financial services, insurance, legal, government agencies and others.
