The unknown unknowns

Reports that say that something hasn’t happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns — the ones we don’t know we don’t know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tends to be the difficult ones.

This is what Tomyris currently wants to solve. The lab focuses on gathering and working with a massive amount of data that can be used to address the problems the world is facing today.

We are building a model — massagetae.uz — that gives solutions to businesses, governments, investors and ordinary consumers while they are making big choices in their ambitious plans.

On the links in the sheet
Most lines are ownership, subsidiary or reform relationships stated directly in the paper. Seven are sector relationships added so that the rail and power groups connect to the rest of the sheet — operator to railcar builder, gas producer to thermal generation, reform instrument to reform programme. They are drawn the same way but are inference, not citation.
