@andy99, @setib: we're a boutique that helps large organization in different sectors and industries with machine learning. Energy, banking, telcos, retail, transportation, etc. These organizations have different maturity levels and their functions expect different deliverables. The organizations range on the maturity level from "We want to use AI, can you help us?" to "We have an internal machine learning and data science team that's overbooked, can you help?" to "We have an internal team, but you worked on [domain] for one of your project and we'd like your expertise". For the expectations, you can deal with an extremely technical team that tells you: I want something that spits JSON. I'll send your service this payload and I expect this payload. So that's a tiny part. Sometimes, you have to build everything: data acquisition, develop and train models, make a web application for their domain experts with all the bells and whistles, admin, roles, data management, etc. I wrote about some of the problems we hit here[0]. The point is that, finding these problems is an effort that requires a certain skill/process and goodwill from the clients. We worked on a variety of problems. - [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25871632 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25871632
