In operations research, selecting the right analytical technique is critical — the effectiveness of any solution approach depends on how well it fits the problem. So how do we determine what will be useful? And how do we choose the best method?

Sometimes, the answer comes through testing and iteration. But often, with a deep understanding of both the mathematical landscape and the structure of the problem, we can identify strong indicators of which methods are most appropriate from the outset. The key is not just applying math, but applying the right math — tailored to the context, the constraints, and the goals of the system at hand.

This disciplined, informed approach leads to smarter models, more efficient solutions, and tools that are genuinely aligned with real-world decision-making
