Predictive Analytics & ML

Production ML for forecasting, churn, risk and pricing — trained on your data.

We build predictive models that ship — with the MLOps, monitoring and drift detection needed to keep them accurate for years, not weeks.

Overview

Most ML projects stall in a Jupyter notebook. T7 Solution treats models as products: version-controlled, tested, monitored, and continuously retrained. We build the feature store, training pipeline, serving layer and observability alongside the model.

We work across classical ML (gradient boosting, time-series, causal inference) and deep learning — choosing the simplest approach that meets the business SLA. Every model ships with a business dashboard that translates predictions into decisions and dollars.

Our team has shipped forecasting, churn, fraud, credit-risk, pricing and recommendation systems across retail, manufacturing, fintech and healthcare.

What we deliver

Time-Series Forecasting

Demand, inventory, revenue and staffing forecasts at daily/hourly granularity.

Classification & Ranking

Churn, propensity, fraud, credit-risk and lead-scoring models.

Recommendation Systems

Personalised product, content and next-best-action recommendations.

Causal Inference

Uplift modelling, marketing-mix and attribution beyond correlation.

MLOps

Feature store, CI/CD for models, canary rollout, monitoring and rollback.

Explainability

SHAP, LIME and business-friendly explanations for every prediction.

Use cases

Demand Forecasting

Cut stock-outs and overstock across SKUs, stores and warehouses.

Churn Prediction

Identify at-risk customers weeks early and route retention offers.

Fraud Detection

Real-time scoring for payments, claims and account takeover.

Dynamic Pricing

Price optimisation that respects margins, competition and inventory.

Challenge

A 220-store retailer was losing margin to stock-outs on fast-movers and overstock on seasonal SKUs. Existing forecasts were spreadsheet-driven, updated weekly, and blind to promotions or weather.

Solution

T7 built a hierarchical demand forecasting system covering SKU × store × day with promotional and weather features. Predictions push nightly into the merchandising system and feed a replenishment dashboard for category managers.

Result

Forecast error dropped by 27%, stock-outs on top-100 SKUs fell by more than a third, and working capital tied up in slow inventory shrank by ~$4.1M in the first year.

"We had forecasts before. What T7 gave us is a decision system — category managers now trust the numbers enough to change how they buy."

How we work

Step 1

Frame the Decision

We start from the business decision, not the algorithm.

Step 2

Data & Baseline

Feature engineering, baseline model and honest error analysis.

Step 3

Productionise

Serving, monitoring and canary rollout in 4–8 weeks.

Step 4

Operate & Retrain

Drift detection and automated retraining cadence.

Frequently asked questions

How much data do we need?

Depends on the problem. Simple churn/propensity often needs 6–12 months; forecasting needs 2+ years of history. We tell you honestly if data is insufficient.

Do we need a data warehouse first?

Not always. We can start with CSV extracts, but a warehouse (Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks) makes production models far easier to operate.

How do you prevent model drift?

Automated data + prediction drift monitoring, retraining triggers and champion/challenger evaluation.

Can you use our existing data science team?

Yes. We often partner with in-house teams and focus on the MLOps, evaluation and production layers.

How is accuracy measured and reported?

We define the business metric first — forecast MAPE, churn precision at top-decile, fraud recall at fixed false-positive rate — then report it in a live dashboard and on monthly QBRs.

Do you build classical ML or deep learning models?

Whichever wins on your data. For tabular problems, gradient-boosted trees (XGBoost, LightGBM) usually beat deep learning. For sequences, images or text we go deep. We benchmark honestly.

How is this different from AutoML tools?

AutoML gives you a model. We give you a decision system — feature store, drift monitoring, canary rollout, explainability, business dashboard and a retraining cadence — which is where 80% of ML value lives.

Can predictions integrate with our operational systems?

Yes — via low-latency APIs, batch writes to your warehouse, Kafka streams or direct pushes into Salesforce, HubSpot, SAP or your app. Predictions land where the decision is made.

How do you handle explainability and regulator scrutiny?

Every prediction ships with SHAP-based attributions and a plain-English reason code. For BFSI and healthcare, we produce model cards, bias audits and validation packs your risk team can defend.

What ongoing costs should we plan for?

Typically a small monthly compute + storage bill plus a retainer for monitoring, retraining and model upgrades. Most clients see the model pay for itself in 3–6 months on the business KPI.
