The AWSD philosophy encourages users to treat rheological measurements as a complete scientific workflow. The experiment should not end when the rheometer finishes collecting data. The greatest value comes from immediately combining the measurements with quantitative analysis, clear visualization, and scientific interpretation while the experiment is still fresh in mind

The AWSD method consists of three integrated parts:

Experiment Prepare the sample, load it into the rheometer, perform the measurements, and verify that high-quality data have been obtained.
Analysis and Visualization Transfer the data directly to IRIS for immediate analysis. Determine the relevant rheological parameters, compare the results with appropriate models, and generate informative figures and visual summaries. Well-designed visuals are an essential part of the analysis because they reveal trends, expose unexpected behavior, and communicate results effectively. Analysis tools and procedures are discussed in tutorials below.
Interpretation and Next Steps Use the quantitative results and visualizations to understand the material behavior, evaluate hypotheses, compare with previous experiments, and identify the next experiments or material modifications. Questions that arise during interpretation can often be addressed immediately while the sample, instrument, and experimental conditions are still available.

The AWSD objective is to integrate experiment, analysis, visualization, and interpretation into one continuous workflow. By completing the full cycle on the same day, users gain deeper understanding, make better decisions, and accelerate both research and product development. IRIS is designed to support this integrated approach.

The AWSD objective of IRIS is simple: Go all the way, from experiment to understanding in a single day, directly from Experiment-to-Insight (E2I) .
