About
Most innovation fails not from a lack of ideas, but from a lack of rigor.
Warner Innovation Systems exists to close that gap — bringing the discipline of factorial experimentation to the decisions that businesses can’t afford to get wrong.

Meet the founder
Ray Warner
Ray Warner is Principal Researcher at the Georgia Tech Research Institute and was lead mechanical engineer on Walt Disney Imagineering’s Flight of Passage — one of the world’s most complex ride systems, now hosted by tens of millions of guests. He teaches Design of Experiments at Georgia Tech Professional Education. Ray has spent 15+ years applying the discipline of rigorous experimentation to high-stakes engineering systems — and now brings that same methodology to business innovation.

Recent innovation successes
A look at how rigorous experimentation turns hard business questions into defensible answers — across pricing, operations, and growth.
Pricing & packaging
How a factorial design untangled which pricing levers actually moved conversion — and which were noise.
Operations & throughput
Testing process variables simultaneously to find the configuration that lifted output without new capital.
Growth & marketing
A structured experiment that separated real channel effects from seasonal drift and spend overlap.
