01
Process analysis and improvement
We study how the current process operates, identify critical variables, timing, sequences, bottlenecks, rework and decision points, then define a measurable structure suitable for improvement and automation.
THEK APPLIED ENGINEERING INTELLIGENCE · TAEI
25+ years of research and engineering experience, transformed into applied intelligence for your business.
TAEI brings to executives, engineers and risk leaders the scientific experience accumulated by Marcelo Moncayo Theurer over more than 25 years and now developed through the THEK Research Institute ecosystem, turning complex challenges into mathematical models, algorithms, scientific software and decision systems built around your organization.
You bring the problem. We build the model.

WHAT SERVICE DOES TAEI PROVIDE?
Applied engineering to improve processes and turn technical knowledge into operational solutions.
TAEI analyses technical problems and organisational processes and converts scientific and engineering knowledge into methodologies, models, computational tools and intelligent applications that accelerate work and strengthen decision quality.
The result can span the complete path from diagnosis and methodology to mathematical model, algorithm and an implemented computational tool for recurring organisational use.
02
Methodology and model development
We develop proprietary methodologies, mathematical and predictive models, calculation procedures and analytical structures tailored to the problem. The methodology defines the variables, their relationships, the calculation path and the validation logic.
03
Computational support tools
We turn methodologies and models into usable tools: engineering calculators, dashboards, assessment systems, web applications, simulation modules and platforms supporting technical teams and management.
04
AI and XAI applications for process acceleration
We integrate artificial intelligence and XAI —explainable artificial intelligence— to accelerate classification, search, analysis, estimation, interpretation and result generation. Explainability adds criteria, variables and traceability for specialists and decision-makers.
FOR LEADERS WHO NEED BETTER DECISIONS
When a high-stakes decision still depends on scattered spreadsheets, repetitive calculations or expertise that is difficult to transfer, there is an engineering opportunity.
TAEI examines the process, identifies the variables that truly matter, and turns technical knowledge into an operational tool your organization can use consistently, traceably and repeatedly.
FROM RESEARCH TO ENTERPRISE
We build on decades of scientific work and turn that foundation into technology-driven engineering solutions.
THEK Research Institute is the institutional expression of a scientific trajectory built by Marcelo Moncayo Theurer over more than 25 years across earthquake engineering, structural dynamics, computational mechanics, numerical methods, scientific programming, mathematical modeling, Earth-system monitoring, artificial intelligence and resilience science. TAEI translates that accumulated expertise into usable enterprise solutions.
The goal is to take scientific knowledge beyond the paper — and turn it into models, systems and tools that improve decisions.THEK RESEARCH INSTITUTE · APPLIED SCIENCE
