# AI where it really helps.

> AI agents for analysis, marketing mix models for budget decisions and models that predict customer value and churn, only where they improve decisions.

## Applied AI, not a showcase.

Every vendor proposal has an AI section and every presentation talks about AI capabilities. In practice, much of it is either rebranded analytics or chat on top of dashboards that already worked fine.

We apply AI only where it genuinely improves decisions, and not where an analyst or a simpler model gives the same result more clearly.

So we work with marketing mix models for budget allocation, models that predict customer value and churn, AI agents that spot deviations at a scale no person can cover and forecasts that hold up through seasonality.

We say no to AI-generated content that costs more to fix than to write, to "AI dashboards" that hide what a simple query would show clearly and to models built on thin or unstable data. If something is solved just as well with simpler means, it doesn't need AI.

## What changes for you.

- **Marketing mix modelling** — Open-source frameworks for budget allocation decisions, not opaque services. The model runs transparently on your own data and is fully auditable.
- **AI analysis agents** — Agents that spot deviations across accounts and run repetitive analyses that would otherwise be done by hand. Internal tools we use every day.
- **LTV and churn** — Models that predict customer value and identify customers at risk, so retention actions have a real effect and feed marketing and the CRM.
- **Forecasting** — Forecasts of revenue, demand and capacity that account for seasonality, holidays and market shifts, not just a short history.
- **Classification** — Product classification at scale, sentiment analysis of reviews and content tagging, for e-shops that want to grow their catalogue or understand the customer.
- **Honest model choice** — When a simpler model or a plain query gives the same result, we pick that. The goal is better decisions, not the most impressive model.
## How we work.

1. **Framing** — We check whether AI is the right solution or whether simpler analytics answer the question more cheaply. Many proposals end here, with a simpler recommendation.
2. **Design** — We choose the model for the specific problem and set the success criteria up front. We explicitly examine the cases where the model could fail.
3. **Testing** — We test the model on data it hasn't seen and on historical periods before it goes live. Many models pass the first check and fail in practice.
4. **Operations** — The model is built into decisions (bidding, CRM, inventory, reporting) and monitored for loss of accuracy, so it is retrained or retired when needed.
## FAQ

### When does marketing mix modelling help?
When you have significant spend across three or more channels, 18+ months of data and reason to believe per-channel attribution under- or over-counts some of them. It helps most when there is brand and video spend, which last-click credits poorly.

### How is an AI agent different from a dashboard?
A dashboard shows you the data. An agent investigates it. When customer acquisition cost rises in a given week, the dashboard shows the rise. The agent checks account segments, ads, audiences and seasonality and proposes the likely causes with evidence.

### Do you build custom models or use existing ones?
Both, depending on the problem. Open-source frameworks cover MMM and many forecasts. Custom models make sense for customer value, churn and classification specific to your sector.

### How do you make sure the model is reliable?
By testing on data the model hasn't seen, backtesting on historical periods, sensitivity checks on the key assumptions and continuous monitoring in production. Every model has documented performance and known limits, so you know when to trust it.

### What about generative AI for content?
We use it in internal tools, research and analysis. For client-facing content we are conservative, because it usually costs more to fix than to write from a brief. The exception is large-scale uses, such as product descriptions across a big catalogue.
