Three engagement types. Each scoped for a specific stage.
Whether you're exploring ML viability, reviewing something you've already built, or ready for a full custom model — there's a structured path for each situation.
← Back to HomeOur methodology across all engagements
Regardless of which service you engage, the underlying approach stays consistent: understand the data first, define success criteria before modelling, and deliver something that holds up when scrutinised.
Data review & problem definition
We begin with the data you have and the outcome you need — before any modelling decisions are made.
Agreed criteria before building
Success metrics and acceptance thresholds are documented and agreed prior to the modelling phase.
Iterative development with reporting
Progress is shared throughout, not just at the end. Interim findings shape the direction of work.
Documented handover
All deliverables come with documentation structured for your team to use and maintain independently.
Custom ML Model Development
End-to-end development of a machine learning model tailored to your specific dataset and problem type — whether classification, regression, clustering, or recommendation. The engagement begins with a data review and problem definition workshop, followed by iterative model development, evaluation against agreed metrics, and documentation of the final model with deployment guidance. You retain full ownership of all code and trained artefacts. Suitable for teams with a clear business problem but limited in-house ML capacity.
From data access to final report. Scope variations may extend this slightly for particularly complex pipelines.
Model Evaluation & Improvement
A focused engagement for teams who already have an ML model in production or development but want an independent perspective on its performance, fairness characteristics, or generalisability. We review your training pipeline, test on held-out data, identify weaknesses, and provide a structured set of recommendations — some of which we can implement directly if preferred. Delivered within two to three weeks.
ML Proof of Concept
A contained, time-boxed build to explore whether a specific ML approach is viable for your data and use case before committing to a larger project. Includes data exploration, a working prototype model, an honest interpretation of results, and a recommendation on whether and how to proceed. Designed to reduce uncertainty in early-stage decision making without requiring a significant upfront commitment.
Many teams spend months and significant budget building a full ML pipeline before discovering the data doesn't support the approach. The PoC engagement is designed to answer the foundational question — is this viable? — at a fraction of the cost and time of a full build.

| Full documentation | Summary only | Recommendations report | Full model card |
| Typical timeline | 1–2 weeks | 2–3 weeks | Scoped at workshop |
Technical and professional standards across all solutions
Data security & NDA
All engagements include a mutual NDA. Data is handled under strict confidentiality protocols and deleted at project close.
Performance standards
We define performance criteria with you before modelling — and evaluate against them rigorously, not against default benchmarks.
Responsive communication
Regular progress updates throughout the engagement. Unexpected findings are surfaced immediately, not held until final delivery.
PDPA compliance
All data handling practices align with Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act. Documented data processing records available on request.
Clean, reviewed code
All delivered code is reviewed internally before handover. Follows standard Python conventions with documented dependencies.
Scalability considerations
Models are built and documented with production constraints in mind — inference time, memory footprint, and update frequency are considered throughout.
Know which engagement fits? Or still deciding?
Either way, the next step is the same — a brief conversation about your problem. We'll help you figure out the right starting point.
