How we help

For clients, we build data science solutions that run without constant supervision. For fun, we ship apps we'd actually want to use ourselves.

Model Development & Deployment

From problem definition to a model running on your infrastructure. We handle the entire pipeline — data preparation, model training, quality assurance and deployment. You get something that works.

AI Agents & Automation

We build AI agents that handle reports, data pipelines and internal workflows — so your team can focus on work that actually requires a human.

Dashboards & Reporting

We design and build dashboards that give your team a clear view of what's happening — updated automatically, built to last.

Data Science Consulting

We review your data, assess your existing ML models and honestly say what's worth building and what isn't.

What a project looks like end to end

Based on a typical data science engagement. Timelines are on the realistic side — complex data environments and slow access approvals add time.

01

Problem Discovery

Weeks 1–2
  • Understanding the business problem and defining what success looks like
  • Getting data and system access (often slower than expected)
  • Stakeholder interviews to capture domain knowledge and business logic
  • Mapping available data sources and identifying gaps
02

Data Preparation

Weeks 3–4
  • Transforming raw data into the required format
  • Data quality assessment — finding and resolving issues
  • Building reliable data pipelines
03

Model Development

Weeks 5–7
  • Feature engineering and selection
  • Model training, tuning, and iteration
  • Results review with stakeholders — confirming the model solves the right problem
04

Productionalisation & Deployment

Weeks 8–11
  • Hardening the model for production use
  • Deploying on your infrastructure
  • Integration and end-to-end testing
  • Longer if your infrastructure setup is complex or approvals take time
05

Monitoring & Retraining

Weeks 12–13
  • Model performance tracking setup
  • Automated retraining logic implementation
  • Drift detection and alerting
06

Dashboard & Reporting

Weeks 14–15
  • Results dashboard creation
  • Handover, documentation, and knowledge transfer

Roughly 15 weeks in total

Multi-model projects, legacy data environments, or long approval chains can push this closer to 5–6 months.
