Your 4 steps to machine learning success

1

Duration: 1 day

Strategy Day

Pick the right problem

Your project begins with an intensive on-site Strategy Day.

It’s an exploratory, full-day session where we get to know your business in depth. We help you define the right problem to start with and choose the best approach based on your business, domain, goals, and data.

Preliminary validation of the solution helps to avoid costly missteps— like asking the wrong question, lacking sufficient data or choosing an overly complex problem.

2

Duration: 4 weeks

Proof of concept

Validate your solution

We leverage our engineering skill, experience, and pre-built compute infrastructure to arrive at PoC for your ML solution in 4 weeks or less.

Getting to PoC quickly and affordably is essential to get buy-in from your team early in the process. And to minimize the risk of a production solution that falls short of expectations.

At this stage, we validate the algorithm to be sure that it solves your problem. And then make adjustments or redirect our efforts based on what we’ve learned.

3

Duration: 2-6 months

Develop, integrate, test

Your ML solution goes live

Our team works in 2-week sprints to develop your solution, with bi-weekly calls to discuss our progress. Real-time communication via Slack or MS Teams keeps issues moving forward and helps bypass communication bottlenecks.

Then we take the solution live to evaluate its performance in your production workflow.

Finally, we automate everything, fine-tune the details, and hand over your solution— congratulations, your data is now officially working for you!

Duration: Ongoing

Learn. Scale. Grow.

Build on your success

A successful ML application isn’t an endpoint— it’s a launching pad. So what’s next? 

We can help you quickly scale your solution to other locations, projects or products. Or build completely new strategies for helping to slay inefficiencies, improve processes or boost revenue.

Or your engineering team can take it from here and start building on what they’ve learned. We’re here to consult when your team gets stuck.

What to expect from us

communicating-icon

Clear communication

Our engineers know how to specify projects and communicate results. You don't need to deal with ‘sales team.’

attention-icon

All-access, all the time

We work with a few clients at a time, so you have our full attention. The CEO & CTO manage your project personally and know every detail inside and out.

price-icon

No counting hours

You never get a bill from us for hours worked. We agree to a project price and that’s what you pay. No cost overruns. No overtime.

learn-icon

Learn from our team

We work alongside your team and they get full access to our code throughout the project. So your team can learn from us to level up their ML skill set.
