    Three ways to find your first model

    Use-case-led

    Best when you have a named decision to improve, with an owner. We start from that decision and assess only the data that serves it.
    Trade-off:Focused, but may miss better use cases elsewhere.

    Data-led

    Best when you have a rich data domain and want to know what it can support. We profile the domain first, then shortlist decisions it can feed.
    Trade-off:Broad view, but more effort to land an owner.

    Challenger-led

    Best when a forecast or score already exists and you want to know if it can be beaten. We run baseline and challenger on today’s method.
    Trade-off:Fast proof, limited to one decision.

    CIO/CDO roundtable series

    The CIO and CDO view on turning predictions into decisions

    A roundtable series on turning models into decisions: which use cases are worth building, when to stop, and who owns a model after go-live. Hosted by Saurabh Singh, CPG and Telco Industry Head at Polestar Analytics, with data and technology leaders from global consumer and enterprise brands.

    Why Choose Polestar Analytics for Data Modeling?

    We stay after the model goes live

    Every model gets an owner, drift triggers and a retraining runbook.

    Track accuracy, flag drift, retrain, track value: four connected steps
    • Decision first

      No decision owner, no build. A model nobody uses is a cost.

    • Proven against today’s method

      Acceptance thresholds are agreed before training, then every challenger is backtested on your data.

    • Kill criteria up front

      If the challenger can’t beat today’s method, we stop. That’s a good result.

      Why exit criteria matter for AI spend →

    • Your cloud, your models

      Agents run in your tenancy and call the LLMs you’ve already approved.

    FAQ

    Frequently Asked Questions About Data Modeling Services

    Our data modeling (or data modelling) services take one decision from framing to a live model in six components: problem framing and value, data and feature readiness, model build, validation and backtesting, decision integration, and monitoring and retraining. We offer them as four sub-offerings: forecasting, pricing and elasticity, customer analytics, and supply optimization.

    We only build a model if it beats today’s method on a decision someone owns. Every use case gets a named decision owner, kill criteria and a baseline before any build starts. Models are built with ML Studio library components on 1Platform, and each one is placed where the decision is made, whether that’s a plan, a price list, a campaign or an alert.

    We score every candidate use case on six lenses before any model is built: decision value, history and granularity, feature availability, today’s baseline, decision integration, and operability. You get a scored shortlist with kill criteria and a named decision owner, plus a value case and build plan for the top use case.

    We agree acceptance thresholds before training, not after seeing the results. We run naive and statistical baselines against today’s method, then AutoML challengers that are backtested against that baseline, all on your own data. An agent writes the comparison report, and your data science lead signs it off.

    We stop, and that’s a good result. A model nobody uses is a cost, not an asset. Agreeing kill criteria up front means teams don’t keep tuning a model the data can’t support.

    Enough history, at the right level and frequency, for the model to learn from. Pricing work, for example, needs price history. We profile an approved extract for history, gaps, granularity and outliers, and score its fitness before any build. If data history or quality is the blocker, we start with a Data & Analytics Maturity Assessment.

    An agent does the first pass at every step. It profiles your data, runs baselines, proposes features, trains challenger models and drafts the value case. A named person checks and signs off each step before the next one starts: your data owner, data science lead, domain expert, and business owner with finance.

    We track accuracy, drift and value, and retrain on triggers agreed with you. A drift monitor flags changes and drafts the case for retraining. You also get a monitoring and retraining runbook covering drift triggers, owners and retraining steps.

    No. Agents run in your own cloud tenancy on Azure, AWS, GCP or Databricks. They read schemas, configs, logs and documents where they are, and sample raw records only with your written approval. They call only the LLM endpoints you’ve already approved, with logging you can audit.

    Model work runs on your own ML platform, for example Databricks or Azure ML. Model output then feeds the rest of your AI stack. A forecast can feed a financial or demand plan, a prediction can become a tool for an agent, and business users can query model results in plain language.

    Yes. You can choose onsite, hybrid (the default), AI-led remote, co-delivered or continuous managed delivery. In the co-delivered model, your team runs the method with our agents while Polestar Analytics coaches and checks quality. It suits a client building its own data science team.

    Which decision would you change witha better prediction?

    Name one decision and its owner, share an extract, and see baseline and challenger side by side.
