Our Team and Process

F​rom Problem to Solution in 3 Simple Steps: ​

Our interdisciplinary team helps you define the problem correctly and find the right data to solve it. ​​​

​Get the Data: (40%) 
We source data everywhere: Internal data. Data that 3rd parties are already collecting about you. There is public government ​data. And new data sources s.a. satellite photos​, drone footage, IoT sensors become available every day.

20-25% Quality improvement: through our cleaning, de-biasing, filtering and data-selection processes.

​Explore & Model the Data: (10%)
​Our expert PhD's explore the data for potential patterns or aberrations. They create the models, visualizations and prototypes. ​

​Demonstrating Business Value (50%):
​Operationalizing the output of the model: ​
​Can anyone audit the models during their use? Can they tune the output to operational needs? Can a fleet manager or a maintenance technician actually do something with that information?

​Data products: ​algorithms and machine learning models that generate new value in an automated way. ​
