IDA’s Network Tree Methodology reduces the Spaghetti factor by decomposing the system into a seamless set of Network Trees and Forests interconnected by cross-references, drawn topologically to assist in understanding the functional nature of the system.

IDA’s Network Tree Methodology reduces the Tunnel Vision factor by combining the "piecemeal" functions from all data sources together and including this information as a whole on the Network Trees. This includes both hardware and software.

IDA’s Network Tree Methodology reduces the Human factors by depicting actual system hardware and software code, regardless of the operational mode or procedures required to use the product. A single analyst generally analyzes a single system function reducing the number of interpretations of the design specifications/requirements.

When all the Network Trees, Forests and Program Operations Diagram (POD, for software) are constructed, the functional nature with actual components and/or software code is depicted. This forms the Baseline Analysis Tools which is the basis of all our analysis services. IDA uses your "as-built" manufacturing data such as, system documentation, software code listings, wire-lists, schematics, parts lists, block diagram descriptions, etc. whatever is avaliable in your native formats as input data for the Baseline Analysis Tools.
