What we do

Four specialties

Needle in a haystack

Data is large and signal is sparse. High-dimensional, domain-specific anomaly detection and signal mining for driving both automated and human-in-the-loop systems.

Low latency, high availability, high scale

Scenarios where data volumes are large, cost matters, and answers are needed consistently and quickly.

Fuzzy boundaries

The design space is wide and may include components from technology and communication, legal and contracts, sales and GTM, or processes and organization design.

Execution

Action and impact are needed more than designs and specifications. Pilot/POC strategy, funding approaches, and day 2 operations (measurement, support, scaling) are in scope.

Engagements

How we work together

Project execution

Run end to end or come in for specific parts of the work. Includes hands-on technical work in software, ML, AI, R&D, etc.

Process design

Align on process definition, uncover errors and limiting factors, identify areas for investment, coordinate/lead change programs.

Embedded leadership

Stand in for a seat you have not filled through a hiring gap, acquisition, or transition. May include role definition, tool creation, and recruiting.

Advisory and review

Provide a second opinion on an architecture, process, vendor selection, model, or build-versus-buy call.
