I think the success of data science projects relies heavily on the ability to translate customer goals into development requirements. Let's say you want to build a churn prediction model. It looks clear, but we need to delve deeper into your case to bring real value to your business. For example, if you aim to increase customer retention, we'll ensure the model predicts churn risk in real time so that you can intervene with corrective measures immediately. However, if you focus on enhancing customer lifetime value, our data science consultants may recommend incorporating lifetime value prediction alongside churn forecasting. This helps you see if preventing churn is worth the effort.

Methods and Technologies We Use
To get to the valuable insights that your data hides, we apply both proven statistical methods and elaborate machine learning algorithms, including such intricate techniques as deep neural networks with 10+ hidden layers.
Methods
Statistics methods
- Descriptive statistics, e.g., to summarize customer data, identify outliers in stock prices, visualize equipment performance data.
- ARMA and ARIMA, e.g., to forecast sales, prices, demand, etc.
- Bayesian inference, e.g., to predict possible outcomes like equipment failure or disease likelihood and model spatial patterns.
Non-NN machine learning methods
- Supervised learning algorithms are good for classification and regression tasks, e.g., diagnosing based on image analysis or stock price prediction.
-
Unsupervised learning algorithms are good for clustering tasks, e.g., segmenting customers based on their purchase history or detecting fraudulent financial transactions.
-
Reinforcement learning methods are good for decision-making influenced by interaction with the environment, e.g., personalization engines responding to user behavior.
Neural networks, including deep learning
- Convolutional and recurrent neural networks (including LSTM and GRU), e.g., for NLP tasks.
- Autoencoders, e.g., to analyze medical images.
- Generative adversarial networks (GANs), e.g., to generate images that will be used for training ML algorithms.
- Deep Q-network (DQN), e.g., to optimize energy consumption, to recommend the best settings for manufacturing equipment.
- Bayesian deep learning, e.g., to improve speech recognition and translation accuracy.

How Much Does a Data Science Solution Cost?
The cost of your data science initiative will depend on the service option you need and the overall project complexity.
Developing a separate data science component
Cost: $30,000–$200,000
End-to-end development of a data-science-based solution
Cost: $200,000–$600,000
The yearly cost of support services may be estimated as 15–25% of the initial development costs, while it may amount up to 70% of the TCO during the entire solution lifespan.
