Our data science solutions
Causal Inference
We help businesses like yours make smarter decisions by identifying the causal relationships behind observed patterns. Using advanced statistical techniques and experiments, we go beyond simple correlations to reveal the true impact of specific actions, allowing you to:
- Optimize pricing and design strategies: Understand how price and product design changes affect demand and revenue.
- Design effective A/B experiments: Isolate the true impact of different campaigns and strategies on customer retention and make data-driven decisions to minimize churn
- Identify the effect of specific inputs in production processes: Optimize production efficiency by understanding the true causal impact of different input factors.
Predictive Models
Harness the power of machine learning and AI with our predictive modeling solutions. We build cutting-edge models for a variety of use cases:
- Automate credit lending decisions: Accurately assess creditworthiness and reduce risk.
- Enhance fraud detection systems: Identify fraudulent activity in real-time and minimize losses.
- Improve operational efficiency: Predict demand, optimize inventory, and streamline logistics.
Risk Simulators
Gain a deeper understanding of your risk exposure with our advanced risk simulators. We leverage Monte Carlo simulations and agent-based modeling to create realistic scenarios that help you:
- Assess financial risks: Quantify the potential impact of market fluctuations, credit defaults, and other financial events.
- Optimize investment strategies: Evaluate the performance of different investment portfolios under various market conditions.
- Develop robust risk management plans: Identify potential vulnerabilities and implement mitigation strategies.
- Improve decision-making under uncertainty: Gain a clearer picture of potential outcomes and make informed choices.
Case Studies
Designing and Implementing an automated credit scoring model system for a lending company
Industry: Fintech
Requirement:
Our client, a lending company, was facing a challenge of having to make credit decisions for a wide variety of companies applying for credit, using a wide variety of data sources. The credit officers were responsible for making credit decisions, but their decision-making process was based on their own experience and best judgment, and there was a lack of a systematized approach.
Solution:
Our solution was to design a machine learning-based credit scoring system that utilized all available data on the applicants. This system was integrated into the client’s existing system and was made available for the credit officers to use. This allowed the credit officers to compare their selection criteria with the algorithm’s results, giving them more confidence in the decisions they were making. Additionally, we designed experiments to help identify the optimal amount of credit to lend, which helped the client to minimize their risk and increase the chances of repayment.
Designing a ML-based fraud detection system for a banking institution in Argentina
Industry: Banking
Requirement:
Our client, a top 20 banking institution in Argentina in terms of total assets, was facing a challenge of fraudulent transactions that were being carried out by individuals who had gained unauthorized access to customer accounts, and were not being detected by their existing security systems.
The client needed a solution that could quickly and accurately identify suspicious transactions and prevent them from being executed in real-time.
Solution:
Our solution was to design and test a machine learning-based fraud detection system that could quickly and accurately identify suspicious transactions. The system was trained using historical data on the normal pattern of activities for each client, and was able to flag transactions that deviated from the expected pattern as suspicious
DeFi Protocols Financial Risk Simulations
Industry: DeFi
We are building technology to conduct financial stress testing on DeFi protocols
- Utilizing blockchain data to identify and analyze potential risks in DeFi protocols, including protocol use determinants, currency risks, and blockchain-related risk.
- Using agent-based simulations to conduct stress tests on the protocols, to identify potential vulnerabilities and provide data-driven recommendations for risk management.
- Our stress testing service uses simulations of the smart contracts as they are written and deployed, thus providing an accurate representation of their actual behavior.
