CAPABILITIES

Breadth
and depth

Bringing experience and expertise to tackle complex analytical challenges at the knowledge frontier
We understand the mathematical heart of what we deliver. By transforming powerful models into rigorous, transparent tools, we enable unparalleled, reliable, expert collaboration even amidst data scarcity and uncertainty. Our offerings, range from in-depth analyses to production-grade data-driven solutions, giving you confidence, assurance, and a strategic advantage in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Data Analysis and Visualisation

By applying advanced statistical techniques and creating compelling visualisations, we turn complex datasets into actionable insights. Teams can understand their data’s underlying stories and patterns through interactive dashboards, facilitating informed decision-making and empowering long-term strategy development.

Forecasting and Prediction

We deploy cutting-edge statistical modelling to forecast trends, classify outcomes and predict whole-system states. This makes it possible to plan proactively and manage ongoing risks, especially when embracing uncertainty-aware techniques like Bayesian modelling that explicitly quantify the randomness inherent in all real-world systems.

Optimisation

Using versatile techniques like mixed integer programming and genetic algorithms, we build tools that solve complex operational challenges. Our solutions enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve overall performance by finding the best configurations of limited resources in logistics, planning, and process optimisation.

Machine Learning and AI

We develop tailored AI models, from decision trees to neural networks, that solve complex data-driven challenges. At the cutting edge of technologies like reinforcement learning and multimodal generation, we build new concepts and transition models to production.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) can transform the productivity and GDP potential of the UK landscape.

Estimates suggest it could deliver a 10% increase in UK GDP by 2030.

Simulation

Our digital twins, digital shadows and agent-based simulations create realistic ‘what-if’ scenarios for operation and exploration. These allow businesses to test hypotheses, predict outcomes, and assess the potential impact of decisions in a risk-free environment, giving robust and informed strategic planning.

Model
Verification
and Validation

Through rigorous test design and coverage assessment, we assure solutions for the highest standards of robustness and required compliance. Our meticulous approach gives confidence in deployed algorithmic systems, ensuring they perform exactly as intended.

AI Assurance
and Safety

We are committed to safe and responsible deployment of AI. Uniting our expertise in AI design and model verification, we validate AI performance and add explainability and transparency to AI deployments. This builds trust, ensuring AI systems respect both operating requirements and ethical standards.

Future Systems
Design

What’s coming next? Our deep research insights provide strategic and practical guidance for organisations’ potential uses of next-generation systems, such as quantum computing. We sort the technological wheat from the chaff, advising how best to capitalize on future technological advancements.

National Grid ESO
A brilliant project to be involved in, which is showcasing not only the power of AI, but also the benefits of making the actions it suggests explainable to build trust in the results and develop confidence in using them.
