Core Data Science and Machine Learning: actionable insights from tabular and time-series data

Most business data sits in tables, often hundreds or thousands of them. We use data science and machine learning to turn that data, and the time series within it, into forecasts, predictions and decisions.

  • Insights from hundreds of business tables
  • Accurate forecasts from time-series data
  • Models for churn, fraud and lifetime value
  • 57% of our team hold a PhD
  • German company, working under the GDPR

What you gain

What your data can do

Core data science extracts insights from your data; machine learning learns from it to make predictions.

Make sense of many tables

Tabular data is easy to collect and read, but insight gets harder as tables multiply. Machine learning finds the patterns across them.

Forecast with time series

Time series add an explicit order to your observations. Modelling that structure is essential for accurate forecasts.

Predict what matters

From customer lifetime value to machine failures, models turn historical data into predictions your teams can act on.

Why AI Superior

Research-grade AI, delivered like a product company

Many vendors can build a demo. Making AI work reliably on real data, inside real business processes, is the hard part, and it needs a different kind of team.

01

A research-led team

AI Superior was founded in 2019 by AI researchers with published papers and patents, and the whole team works to that research standard.

  • PhD57%
  • MSc28%
  • BSc15%
Team by highest degree
02

Built to reach production

Every project is de-risked in stages, with a go/no-go decision at each milestone, so budget only goes into approaches that have worked on your data.

4× our proof-of-concept success rate compared with the market average
03

A complete team from day one

Strategy, models and software are designed by one team, so nothing gets lost in hand-overs between vendors.

  • Product AI product owner, business analyst, project manager
  • Data Data scientists, ML engineers, BI analyst
  • Development Software engineers, QA, DevOps
04

Your data stays under control

When data must not leave your organisation, we build on private, self-hosted models instead of third-party AI services.

  • GDPR, German company
  • Self-hosted LLMs
  • Transparent methods

How we work

A staged AI project life cycle

Every stage ends with a result you can check, and you decide on the next one only after seeing the previous one work. You keep control of scope and budget.

  • Estimate before you commitYou see scope and expected results before the build begins.
  • Go/no-go after every stageEach stage ends with a result you can check and a decision on the next step.
  • Risks reported openlyWe share risks and opportunities as soon as the analysis shows them.
Start with discovery
  1. Discovery

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Something else on your mind? Ask us directly.

What is the difference between core data science and machine learning?

Core data science focuses on extracting insights from the data you provide. Machine learning focuses on learning from that data to make predictions. Most projects combine both.

Our data is mostly in spreadsheets and databases. Is that enough?

Tabular data is the most common type of business data and a good basis for machine learning. The challenge is usually volume and spread across many tables, which is where data science helps.

Why does time-series data need special treatment?

A time series adds an explicit order of dependence between observations. That structure, and data sets with many different time series, add complexity, but factoring it in is essential for accurate forecasts.

Which business problems do you typically solve?

Customer lifetime value prediction, product recommendations, eliminating manual data entry, financial analysis and forecasting, predictive maintenance, spam and fraud detection, and customer churn analysis, among others.

Do you also work with other types of data?

Yes. Our projects also use sensor data, maps and medical scans, for example in usage-based insurance from smartphone telematics, urban zone pricing and eye tissue measurement from MRI.
