Overview

ML where it moves a number.

We pick ML problems where the outcome is observable and commercial — not where it's fashionable. Demand forecasting that reduces waste. Anomaly detection that cuts fraud losses. Propensity models that lift conversion. Vision systems that automate inspection.

And we engineer them. MLOps, monitoring, retraining, drift detection — so the model that ships is still the model in six months.

What we build.

01

Forecasting & demand planning

Hierarchical, intermittent, promotional — whatever your SKU profile needs. Probabilistic, not point forecasts.

02

Classification & propensity

Churn, conversion, claim risk, credit risk. Calibrated probabilities, not just accuracy.

03

Anomaly & fraud detection

Unsupervised and supervised pipelines with human-feedback loops for continuous improvement.

04

Recommenders & segmentation

Personalisation for product, content, next-best-action. Online evaluation, A/B by design.

05

Computer vision

Inspection, OCR, defect detection, counting. Edge-deployable where needed.

06

MLOps platform

Feature store, experiment tracking, model registry, CI/CD, monitoring, retraining — the plumbing that keeps models trustworthy.

Case study

Manufacturing — predictive maintenance on a 260-machine estate.

A mix of gradient-boosted and LSTM models trained on telemetry and maintenance logs cut unplanned downtime by 34% and extended MTBF by 2.1×. ROI inside the first year.

FAQ

Common questions.

Is our data volume enough for ML?+
Depends on the problem. Forecasting needs surprisingly little. Rare-event classification needs more. We give you an honest read in week 1.
Deep learning or classical ML?+
Whichever wins on your data. We find tabular gradient-boosted models beat deep learning far more often than the blog posts suggest — and they're easier to operate.
How do you prevent model drift?+
Monitoring on inputs (data drift) and outputs (prediction drift + outcome drift), alerting, automated retraining where safe, human review where not.
Can you work with our MLOps platform?+
Yes. If you already run Databricks, SageMaker, Azure ML or Vertex — we'll work within it. If you don't, we'll recommend what fits.
