One variable at a time burns months you don't have

Most DOE programs still move one variable at a time, or lean on a DOE built in a separate statistics package and hand-copied back into a spreadsheet. The design ignores what past projects already proved, the results land far from the recipe that produced them, and the models that could predict the next result cannot run on data stitched together with lookups. Uncountable designs the experiment on your structured history, keeps every result linked to its formulation and process, and turns that connected record into predictive models and a shortlist of what to run next.

Scatter plot graph labeled 'Design space · High-Gloss Coating' showing cure temperature versus resin loading with three data categories: past experiments marked by blue dots, predicted gloss from low to high shown by an elliptical gradient background, and exploitation runs marked by gold stars aiming to push the optimum. Eight suggested runs are highlighted. On the right, an AI suggestion box contains the prompt to design an experiment to maximize gloss at target viscosity for acrylic coating. Below, key parameters include max gloss, viscosity, 12 varying inputs, 8 proposed runs, predicted best run values for gloss and viscosity, and model fit statistics, with a note that suggested runs are auto-generated based on the project's history.

DOE and predictive models, from design to insight

Design the experiments that cover more ground in fewer runs.

‍

Setup, not transcription: Your ingredients and process parameters are already in the platform. Pick what you want to study and the design comes back ready to run: no re-entering a recipe into a separate tool.‍

Sensible ranges to start from: The platform proposes a range for each factor based on past data. Widen them to push into new territory, tighten them to stay close to home. The design covers whatever space you give it.‍

Formulations you can actually make: Set your ingredient ranges and formulation total, and every run in the design is built inside those limits.‍

One place, start to finish: The design lands in the project as real experiments, ready to run and record results.

Table titled 'Designed Run Set' for Paints & Coatings Exterior Waterborne coating screening design with 24 runs. It lists factors coalescent, binder 1 (resin), defoamer 1, curing temp (°C), their constraints, and six run results with numeric values. Polymer base = 4 and TiO2 1000 = 20 are constant across runs. Experiment totals for runs vary, e.g., 76.6 for Run 1 and 67.8 for Run 6. Notes state four factors vary within project-seeded ranges; the rest are held constant, with constraints seeded from Project ACR-EXT-2403.
Model your properties from structured history, so you can screen candidates before the bench.

‍

Predict properties from formulation and process: Models learn from your past results to estimate outcomes like gloss, viscosity, or tensile strength for a proposed recipe.

Read why, not just what: Feature importance shows which ingredients and conditions drive a property, so a scientist can interpret the model.

Gets sharper as data grows: Every new experiment, including the failures, feeds the model, so it improves as your data grows.

Scatter plot titled 'Actual vs. Predicted · Gloss (GU)' showing data points comparing actual gloss and predicted gloss values for exterior waterborne coating. The plot includes a reference line y = x and an R² value of 0.68 with RMSE of 5.6 GU, indicating model accuracy.
Let the data point to the runs that will teach you the most next.

‍

Suggested next experiments: The tools surface a shortlist of candidate runs with predicted results and uncertainty, screened against your goal.

Explore where you know less: Suggestions include under-sampled regions of the design space, not just small steps around what you already know.

Stronger as the record deepens: Recommendations improve as more results are recorded, so the platform gets more useful with every project.

Table titled 'Candidate Next Runs' showing data for five candidates in a Paints & Coatings project for exterior waterborne coatings. Columns list five candidates with constraints for curing temperature (°C), resin load (%), viscosity (Pa·s), and gloss (GU). Curing temp ranges from 10 to 50, resin load 20 to 50, viscosity 0.22 to 0.28, gloss goal ≥ 60. Gloss cells with values and uncertainties are highlighted in green when meeting the goal. Data includes measured values with uncertainties, such as viscosity and gloss. A note states candidates show predicted gloss and viscosity with uncertainty, and green cells meet the goal, screened against goals from Project ACR-EXT-2403. The interface shows a dark blue navigation bar on the left and user Dana Whitmore with initials DW.
Set up a designed experiment in plain language, with Bodie grounded in your project data.

‍

Describe the goal, get a design: Tell Bodie the formulation and the targets, and it proposes a designed run set with constraints pulled from the project history.

Explains the model in plain language: Bodie walks through what the design covers and what the model is saying, so the science stays with the scientist.

Hours, not days: Setup that used to mean a separate stats package and manual copying happens in the flow of the work.

‍

Bodie is available with the Gen AI module. Talk to your Account Manager if interested.

Build chemistry-informed models

A model can see more than just your formulation as a list of ingredients and amounts. You can bring in the chemistry behind them.

Your raw material data already lives here

Molecular weight, glass transition temperature, density, particle size, surface area, etc, whatever properties matter for your chemistry sit on the ingredient record. Record them once and they’re available across the platform.

From properties to predictors

Define an input calculation once and it can be leveraged by the model: weighted average molecular weight across a resin blend, weighted average Tg, mean particle size across a filler package. The model stops seeing which acrylic you used and starts seeing what that acrylic brings.

Chemistry the model can act on

Two formulations with different resins but similar molecular weight look similar to the model, because they are. It learns relationships that carry across blends, not just across the specific materials in your history.

Optimize on properties, not just amounts

These features behave like any other input, so you can constrain them. Hold weighted average Tg between 60 and 105°C, keep molecular weight in a workable window, and suggestions stay inside the chemistry you’re willing to run.

FAQs

What are Uncountable's DOE and Predictive Tools?

Uncountable's DOE and predictive tools are the design-of-experiments and machine-learning capabilities built into the platform. They design efficient experiments, model properties from your structured formulation and test data, and suggest the most informative runs to try next, all connected to the record that produced each result.

How is this DOE different from JMP or Minitab?

Traditional DOE tools design experiments in a separate statistics package, disconnected from your formulation history and results. Uncountable designs on your structured data in the platform, seeds constraints from past projects, and keeps every result linked to the recipe and process that produced it, so the design, the models, and the next-run suggestions all draw on the same connected record.

Do the predictive models replace scientists?

No. The models augment scientists, they do not replace them. Feature importance and plain-language explanations show which ingredients and conditions drive a property, so a scientist interprets and directs the work while the tools handle the heavy computation.

How many experiments do I need before the models are useful?

Predictive models and next-experiment suggestions get sharper as your structured record grows, because every result, including failures, feeds them. The right starting point depends on the number of factors and the property being modeled, which your Uncountable team scopes with you during setup.

What is the DOE Copilot?

The DOE Copilot is part of Bodie, Uncountable's AI assistant. You describe the formulation and targets in plain language, and it proposes a designed run set with constraints from the project history, explains the model, and sets up the workflow. Bodie is available with the Gen AI module.
