Automating data science for transit agencies
Transform complex spatiotemporal data into actionable insights.
Guiding Principles
How we approach analytics
Simplify Spatiotemporal Complexity
See patterns across space and time at a glance.
- Native map + timeline thinking, not spreadsheet dumping.
- Visuals that surface hotspots, trends, and exceptions.
Practical & Affordable Innovation
Advanced methods without in-house overhead.
- Integrates with your tools: exports, reports, dashboards.
- Cut complexity and cost versus bespoke builds.
Human-Centered Analytics
Save staff time; reduce manual wrangling.
- Designed around real workflows and decisions.

A partner who listens and adapts.
- From research to practice, together.
- Tight feedback loops; plain-language deliverables.
