Overview

Analytics that changes a decision.

A data-science project we like has a clear decision-owner, a clear counterfactual, and a budget that says "yes" or "no" to it. A data-science project we walk away from has none of those.

Our scientists come from industry, research and consulting — and they're paired with engineers so the model that wins in a notebook also runs in production.

What we do.

01

Customer analytics

Segmentation, lifetime value, propensity, journey analytics.

02

NLP & text analytics

Classification, extraction, summarisation, sentiment — production-grade.

03

Causal inference & experiments

Quasi-experiments, uplift modelling, synthetic control. Because correlation is not enough.

04

Forecasting

Demand, financial, risk, staffing — probabilistic not point.

05

Optimisation

Pricing, routing, allocation, staffing — linear, MIP, heuristic.

06

Decision systems

Model + rules + human-in-the-loop + monitoring, wired into your process.

How we work

Problem-first, model-second.

Case study

Retailer — causal uplift model adds £2.3m/yr in promo ROI.

Uplift modelling replaced response modelling for promotional targeting. Causal-valid A/B measurement showed £2.3m/yr additional profit on the same promotion budget.

FAQ

Common questions.

Data science vs machine learning — what's the difference?+
In our taxonomy: data science is decision-focused, often one-off or slow-cycle (analysis, experiments, decision systems). ML is product-focused, high-cycle (models embedded in live products). Same people, different emphasis.
Can you bring GenAI into this?+
Yes — NLP now leans heavily on LLMs for extraction, classification, summarisation. We combine classical and GenAI where each wins.
Do you do A/B testing?+
Yes — and causal inference where A/B isn't possible. We are careful about statistical validity.
What tools do your scientists use?+
Python primarily, R for specialist statistics, Databricks for anything at scale. We work in your environment.
