We help NZ businesses forecast demand, automate decisions, and find the insights that drive real growth — with clear communication and no black boxes.
Lassa virus spreads primarily through contact with food or household items contaminated by the urine or faeces of infected Mastomys natalensis rodents. Person-to-person transmission occurs in healthcare settings without adequate infection control, particularly through direct contact with bodily fluids of symptomatic patients.
We audit your data, identify what's missing, and find where analytics creates measurable value. Every good engagement starts here.
Forecasting models, AI tools, smart dashboards, and data pipelines — built to your specification with clear documentation.
Your dedicated data science partner on a monthly retainer. Monitoring, maintenance, and continuous improvement with priority response.
We build capability inside your team — so you become less dependent on consultants, not more. That's the goal.
Your team's knowledge is locked inside hundreds of PDFs, reports, and protocols that nobody has time to read. We turn that pile into a private chat your team can actually use — grounded in your own documents, with citations on every answer, and no hallucinated facts.
The live demo runs on the founder's own peer-reviewed publications — six papers on infectious disease transmission, pandemic connectivity, Lassa virus, and Ebola. Ask it anything from that corpus and watch it answer with citations in real time.
PDFs (including scanned PDFs with OCR), Word documents, Markdown, plain text, HTML, and structured exports from research databases or knowledge management systems. If your corpus lives somewhere unusual, we will talk it through on the discovery call.
The system can be deployed entirely inside your own cloud environment, with no document content ever leaving your infrastructure. The vector database, the API, and the embedding pipeline all run on hardware you control. If you prefer a managed deployment, we host it on isolated per-client instances with bearer-token authentication and TLS in transit.
You do. The full source code, the vector index, the configuration files, and the handover documentation are yours at the end of the build. The optional retainer covers hosting, monitoring, and updates — not access. You can walk away with the whole system at any time.
Yes. The system is containerised and deploys cleanly to any major cloud provider, an on-premise Kubernetes cluster, or a single virtual machine. We will match the deployment target to your existing infrastructure on the discovery call.
The two-week fixed-fee package covers up to 200 documents and around 5,000 retrievable passages. Larger corpora are quoted separately and typically take three to four weeks. The pipeline scales to tens of thousands of documents without architectural change.
The language model is constrained to answer only from the passages your retrieval system surfaces. If the answer is not in your documents, the system says so rather than inventing one. Every answer cites the specific passages it drew from, so a human reader can verify the claim against the source in seconds.
Computational physicist turned data scientist whose work spans scales from ultralight dark matter simulations to real-time epidemic forecasting across 340-city networks. Published research in metapopulation disease modelling, cardiac signal classification via recurrence networks, and high-performance computing — bringing peer-reviewed rigour to every engagement, with no jargon and no black boxes.
From molecular medicine research to serving as consulting editor for a medical journal and leading oncology clinical trial programmes, Melinda brings deep expertise in translating complex scientific evidence into actionable strategy — ensuring our health and life sciences work meets the highest standards of rigour.
BranchScout finds every branch of a chain near you, reads the latest reviews, and tells you which one is worth the trip. A small, public example of how we turn messy public data into a decision.
