BackgroundScience

A research lab,
working as your team.

We are a small group of scientists and engineers building software and hardware for companies that want to make something genuinely new. We move fast, write things down, and ship.

Data science

Forecasting, optimization, statistical modeling, and machine learning, applied to real industrial and commercial problems.

Software R&D

Custom systems where off-the-shelf falls short — simulation engines, internal tools, and infrastructure that needs to be exactly right.

Hardware R&D

Sensors, controls, embedded systems, and prototyping. We build the physical thing, and the software that makes it useful.

How we work

Small teams

A senior researcher and an engineer, working with you directly.

Written down

Memos and notebooks, not slides. Decisions you can audit later.

Real artifacts

Working code, working hardware, working models — not concept decks.

Quiet rigor

No theatrics. Just careful work that holds up.

Have a problem worth thinking about?

We take on a small number of engagements each year. Tell us what you are working on and we will tell you whether we are the right people for it.
