AI & DATA SCIENCE DEVELOPMENT

WE BUILD THE AI TO POWER PRODUCTS

Unstructured data in. Intelligence out.

[SYS // 00.EXPLORE]

The Process

We start with your documents, reviews, transcripts, emails. Extract the information buried in them. Shape it into data architecture designed for analytics at scale. Then build the intelligence layer on top.

Sources

Unstructured text: documents, PDFs, product reviews, emails, transcripts,...

Structure

Databases, knowledge graphs, ML models, and more

Intelligence

Recommendations, predictions, automation, analytics, ...

Out of the box tools are amazing, but they won't get your production deployment over the line.

Extraction

Every business has different documents, different terminology, different edge cases. Extraction isn't a plug-and-play API. It's custom logic shaped around how your data actually looks. And in the real world, there are constraints: cloud deployments, data residency, privacy requirements, corporate red tape. The technical problem is only half of it.

Architecture

Analytical data models at scale are specialist work. Millions of rows, complex joins, queries that need to return in milliseconds. Architecture decisions made early determine whether your application performs in production or falls over. This is modern data stack territory: warehouses, pipelines, feature stores. You need to know how to optimise them.

Intelligence

You start with a business question or a user story, not a model. The methodology matters, but it's the layers of custom work on top that make it actually work. Feature engineering, edge case handling, performance tuning. Every model is bespoke.

Laura Parfitt — Founder

Close to 20 years in data, most of it at the intersection of product and data science. Five years at Google leading teams across Ads, Play, and Stadia — at Play I was analysing how 3 billion users behave in apps. At startups I' ve built data platforms from scratch, hired the teams around them, and shipped everything from recommendation engines to experimentation systems.

I started DataFenix because I kept seeing the same gap: strong dev teams, ambitious products, but no one to own the AI and ML work. Two years on, almost every project has come down to the same core challenge: turning messy, unstructured information into something useful. That's the work now.

I'm hands-on. Specialists join when needed. If you're figuring out whether AI makes sense for your product, let's talk.
