The first session is a real working conversation, not a sales call, and it's free. Describe the problem in a sentence or two; we'll come back with how we'd approach it.
A rough description of the problem is plenty. You don't need to know the solution. That's our job.
A working conversation with you (and your leadership, if useful) to understand what's really going on.
We find the problem worth solving and whether data science can help. Sometimes the honest answer is "not yet." If it is, we'll tell you.
We write up the approach and price it against the specific problem, so you decide with full information.
Yes. The first session costs nothing and carries no obligation. Discovery is where we find the problem worth solving, and we'd rather earn your confidence in a working conversation than in a proposal. You only pay if we agree there's work worth building, and only after it's scoped and priced.
Not at all. Part of what we do is help you start collecting the right data in the first place. If the data to solve your problem doesn't exist yet, we'll say so plainly and help you build the foundation before anything else.
Forecasting, large language model and text problems, anomaly detection, segmentation, and the data foundations underneath them, among others. The technique follows the problem. Our services page has the fuller picture, and our work shows the range.
After the free discovery session, if it's worth building, we write up the approach and price it against that specific problem. You see exactly what you're getting and what it costs before anything starts, with no open-ended retainers.
We're based in Virginia and we work with companies anywhere. Most engagements run remotely, with in-person time where it helps.
Fair question, and we won't dodge it. We're three data scientists with master's degrees from Virginia Tech, with real applied and graduate work we'll happily walk you through. The free discovery session is exactly how we'd suggest testing us: bring a real problem, see how we think, and decide from there.
