XC TECH(nology): eXact Cover technology

Is founded in the engineering, science, and mathematics of an Exact Cover problem. 

What is an Exact Cover though?

Simply stated: in an Exact Cover you are looking to solve (cover) for constraints by choosing from a set of (exact) solutions. While each solution is a choice that may fulfill or solve for one (or several constraints), in an exact cover it is about choosing from those solutions which can cover each constraint once and without overlap (exact).
 
In a world struggling with “one size fits all” solutions, we help our clients understand the range of exact solutions that when properly applied will uniquely cover their series of constraints.  This exact cover to problems brings impactful, effective, and sustainable results.
