## Curator assessment
Reviewed 2026-09-08 by Gabor Kiss against published evidence.

The named work carries numbers: a gap-statistic pipeline rebuilt with Almac Diagnostic Services cut a 33-hour run to 45 minutes on hardware kept on-site, the COBALT rates tool identified £500k of unpaid non-domestic rates for Belfast City Council, and PERSPECTIVE pulled ticketing, Wi-Fi and press data into one view for the National Gallery London.

Read the dates, though. Those studies were published between 2020 and 2023, and the substance is data engineering, analytics products and compute optimization rather than model building.

The AI Search Platform—hybrid keyword, semantic and graph search with summarization—is described as a capability with no named-client study behind it, the leadership page lists three people, and the €45–85/h shown here is a directory figure rather than a rate the firm publishes.

The weaker fit is a buyer shopping for generative AI delivery: this is a data-foundations consultancy with a search product, strongest where the problem is throughput, governance or discovery across messy data.

### Key strengths
- Outcomes are measured and attributed: 33 hours down to 45 minutes on Almac's gap-statistic pipeline, £500k identified for Belfast City Council, inspector team efficiency up by as much as 250%
- Public-sector delivery is checkable—Belfast City Council and the National Gallery London are named, with a client manager and a Northern Ireland finance minister quoted on the record
- A Queen's University Belfast spin-out running since 2008, with doctorate-level leadership named on the site

### Good to know
- The readable case studies date from 2020 to 2023 and describe data engineering and compute work—ask for an LLM-era engagement with a reference before buying an AI build
- The AI Search Platform is presented as a capability with no named-client case study—ask which clients run it in production and at what data volume
- Analytics Engines publishes no rate itself; the €45–85/h shown here comes from a third-party directory listing. The leadership page lists three people—ask who staffs delivery beyond them
