Research-driven applied AI lab

Practical AI
for complex
business

We research, build and integrate intelligent systems that run inside real businesses: forecasting models, computer vision, and agents that act under human control.

What we do

Six domains, one method. Select a card to see the project behind it — research, prototype or shipped product.

PrototypeHuman Movement Intelligence

Computer vision for human movement: exercise form, rehabilitation and multi-person activity, tracked in ordinary video rather than a lab. The system explains its feedback instead of just scoring.

Live productDairy Market Intelligence

A dairy client provides historical GDT (Global Dairy Trade) auction data; our models forecast the likely price range for each product at the next auction and recommend positions to hold. The same approach carries to asset management and other forecasting problems. The client sees the reasoning behind each forecast, and owns the models.

ResearchSpectral Inference for Chemical Analysis

Research into how machine learning can infer chemical properties and candidate molecular structures from spectral observations.

ResearchComputational Pathology & Medical Imaging

Detecting anomalies and early signs of disease in pathology images, on an annotation platform built with specialists. Any clinical use requires local data partnerships and independent validation.

PrototypeRWA Infrastructure Prototype

An experimental prototype for asset digitisation: lifecycle, permissions and audit trails, designed for regulated use.

Active R&DEnterprise AI · Project Management & Risk

Connecting AI to the software, data and workflows a business already has, then letting it act: controlled agent workflows, plus applied research on AI for project delivery and organisational risk. Permissions and audit are part of the design, not an afterthought.

The direction

Practical today, agentic tomorrow.

The next generation of software won't just answer. It will act.

We're building toward that in steps — each one useful on its own, each one still under audit and human control.
