Rigorous Agentic
Predictive Analytics

We're building an AI-first platform that brings decades of machine learning expertise to every stage of a data science project — from problem definition through deployment and monitoring.

Enterprise Analytics Is Broken

Building reliable predictive models remains slow, expensive, and error-prone. Current platforms are universally recognized as inadequate.

6–24 mo

Time to Production

Full development through deployment in regulated industries takes months of highly skilled specialist effort.

$200K+

Incumbent Cost of Entry

Current platforms bundle aggressive pricing with black-box approaches that fail model risk management requirements.

Pre-LLM

Legacy Architecture

Existing market players are burdened with pre-LLM architectures. A greenfield AI-first design has a structural advantage.

Three Integrated Layers

An AI-first system where LLM agents handle reasoning and orchestration while rigorous classical ML engines handle prediction.

Agentic Orchestration

Agents guided by local and (optionally) frontier lab LLMs will embody best practices as distilled from our extensive experience. Human in the loop is always expected but can be bypassed.

RL-Customized Open-Weights LLM

GRPO and other RL post-training on challenging data science problems to learn best practices. This central open-weights RL-trained LLM enables fully on-premises execution for customers requiring complete data and technical privacy.

Classical ML Engines

Gradient boosting (the GBM) outperforms neural networks on structured enterprise data. We built the first GBM and other foundational ML technology and subsequently refined these tools including CART, Random Forests, and MARS — working directly with their inventors. Part of our mission is to radically improve the performance and usefulness of legacy tools.

Built by the People Who Created the Algorithms

Unmatched depth in machine learning for structured data — direct collaboration with the inventors, 17 competition wins, 30 years of deployment.
