We were born out of sports and know that the smallest edge can make the biggest difference
Our journey began with sports by crunching data and numbers to predict outcomes in live football matches, using powerful AI technologies. Today we've brought this approach to industry, to help make advanced analytics (AA) and AI real in a variety of organisations.
We help these organisations utilise data, advanced analytics and artificial intelligence within a well-structured AAAI-Framework to create business value, drive a data-driven sustainability agenda, become truly customer-centric, and maximise return on investments.
We combine knowledge from PhDs in physics, engineering and applied mathematics with data engineers, computer scientists, AI scientists and researchers. We derive from Stanford, Caltech, Imperial, Oxford, CERN, Harvard, Yale, McKinsey, BCG, and more.
We believe that everything good comes when working as a team, using our brain trust across a variety of disciplines and connecting people, data, computing power, algorithms and models to help our clients make better, more informed decisions, faster.
