Frequently asked questions
How much historical data do you need to build a model?
It depends on the task — we check this during the analysis stage and say directly if there isn't enough data for a reliable model.
How is this different from an off-the-shelf BI tool with forecasts?
The model learns patterns specific to your data, instead of applying a generic algorithm that knows nothing about your business.
How do you check that the model actually works?
We validate it on historical data it never saw during training and measure prediction accuracy against what actually happened.
Can the model handle more than one predictive task?
We start with one task to measure accuracy reliably, before considering extending the scope.
What if our data is incomplete or inconsistent?
We flag this during the analysis stage and agree together on whether the data is sufficient to build a reliable model.
Who looks after the model after rollout?
Documentation and code land in your repository — you can maintain the model yourself, or use our separate monitoring and tuning service.
