Our Technology
At Optimise AI, we utilise a patented AI methodology to ensure the highest standards while developing our AI models. Our approach is designed to deliver reliable and accurate solutions tailored to specific needs. Below is a summary of our beliefs, our people and our approach:
Our Beliefs
Our Beliefs
Technology has 8 billion responsibilities. Healthy societies are built on equitable and transparent tools. We intentionally build ethical AI products for rapid adoption and positive impact.
That technology will help life on earth. We operate on the edge of science, to enable each client to successfully navigate their journey to zero-carbon buildings.

Data Pre-processing
Data Pre-processing
Clean the data by handling missing values and gaps, detecting anomalies and duplicates, and data imputation. Transform the data (normalisation, encoding categorical variables) to enhance data integrity and homogeneity.

Selection of machine learning method
Selection of machine learning method
Choose the appropriate AI methodology based on the problem and data types (i) Supervised Learning for labelled data, (ii) Unsupervised Learning for finding patterns in unlabelled data, (iii) Reinforcement Learning for decision-making in dynamic environments.

Model Selection
Model Selection
Select specific algorithms or models that fit the chosen methodology. Consider factors like complexity, interpretability, and performance.

Model Training
Model Training
Integrate and split the data into different subsets for training, testing, and validation procedures. Train the model using the training dataset, adjusting parameters and optimising performance.

Model Evaluation
Model Evaluation
Evaluate the model's performance using metrics relevant to the problem (e.g., accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score). Use the validation dataset to assess how well the model generalises to unseen data.

Model Evaluation
Model Evaluation
Before deployment, models undergo a stringent approval process to ensure they meet our quality standards:
Accuracy Threshold: Models must achieve a minimum accuracy of 75% to be considered for approval.
Multi-Metric Assessment: In addition to accuracy, we evaluate other metrics (e.g., precision, recall) to ensure balanced performance.
Contextual Evaluation: Depending on the application, higher accuracy thresholds may be set to meet specific industry standards or client requirements.
Peer Review: Approved models are reviewed by our data science team to validate results and ensure robustness.
