Also if you contract us you won't risk being embarrassed by our request for your previous traditional analysis of the challenge.}.

If you have a (particular aesthetic, technical, or policy) quandary that has stubbornly resisted conventional analysis. Then AuzGnosis maybe (we make no promises of success) able to discover a creative solution for you.
