Built for teams at a real inflection point.

Where are you right now?

01Starting with ML

You have a use case, clean enough data, and a deadline from leadership.

The business case is clear: reduce manual review time, improve forecast accuracy, catch issues earlier. But building a model and getting it into production reliably are two very different problems. You need engineers who have solved both.


A production ML model with defined accuracy benchmarks, a deployment pipeline, and monitoring in place from day one.

02Model in production

Your model is live, but accuracy has drifted and the team is flying blind.

The model shipped six months ago, predictions were strong at first, and now something has changed. Data distributions have shifted, edge cases have multiplied, and there is no instrumentation to tell you what is happening. It is time to add the infrastructure the first build skipped.


Drift detection, retraining pipelines, eval dashboards, and a model that stays accurate as your data evolves.

03Scaling ML across the organisation

One model worked. Now the business wants ten more, and the team can't keep up.

The proof of concept was compelling, leadership is pushing to expand, and the current approach, one model, one engineer, one pipeline, will not scale. You need a platform layer that lets multiple teams ship and maintain models without rebuilding from scratch each time.


A shared MLOps platform, reusable feature pipelines, and a model registry that give every team a consistent path from experiment to production.

Make the right call, before you commit to a direction.

Custom ML vs pre-built AI APIs vs AutoML platforms

Every ML project starts with the same question: build a custom model, call a pre-built API, or use an AutoML platform. Each path makes sense for a different situation. Here is the honest trade-off that matters most at production scale.

What matters
Recommended Custom build
Common alternative Off-the-shelf SaaS
Other path Low-code platform
Fit to your data Trained on your specific data and domain Generic models, broad coverage Automated but domain-agnostic
Accuracy ceiling Optimised for your exact task and distribution Fixed by vendor model quality Limited by automated feature engineering
Data ownership Your data stays in your environment Data processed by the vendor Data processed by the platform vendor
Inference cost at scale Controlled: your infrastructure, your cost model Per-call pricing grows with volume Platform pricing tiers apply at scale
Integration depth Built around your systems and data pipelines Standard APIs, limited customisation Platform-dependent integration options
Compliance posture Full control over data residency and audit trail Vendor handles processing; you inherit constraints The platform controls the data path
Long-term maintainability You own the model, the pipeline, and the evals Vendor deprecates versions on their schedule The platform roadmap determines your options
Time to first value 4 to 12 weeks to production Days for basic integration Weeks, faster for simple classification
Pick custom when
  • Your data has domain-specific patterns a generic model will not have encountered.
  • Per-call API pricing will grow faster than your budget as volume scales.
  • Compliance or data residency requirements mean data must stay within your environment.
  • You need accuracy on a specific task that off-the-shelf models are unlikely to achieve reliably.

How we build, every model the right way.

How we approach every ML engineering engagement

Rigorous methodology, production-first thinking, and models that earn their place in your stack. Here is what that looks like in practice.

Schedule a call

Data assessment before model selection

Every engagement starts with your data: its volume, quality, label coverage, feature completeness, and the class imbalances or distribution shifts that will affect performance. We scope the model only after we understand the data, so the accuracy targets we set are grounded in what your data can actually support.

  • Data profiling
  • Feature analysis
  • Label quality review
Fewer surprises at deployment

Experiment-first, not architecture-first

We run structured experiments across multiple model families, baselines first, then progressively complex approaches, so the final model earns its complexity. Every training run is tracked in MLflow with reproducible configs, so you always know what was tried and why the winning approach was selected.

  • Baseline comparison
  • Experiment tracking
  • Reproducible configs
Architecture grounded in evidence

Evaluation beyond accuracy

Models are evaluated on the metrics that matter for your task: precision, recall, AUC-ROC, calibration error, latency at P99, and cost of error per class. We set eval thresholds before training begins and only ship models that clear every bar, with full benchmark documentation at handover.

  • Task-specific metrics
  • Calibration
  • Latency benchmarks
Every model clears defined thresholds before shipping

Production engineering, not notebook delivery

The final deliverable is a production service: containerised, versioned, observable, and connected to your data pipeline. Inference endpoints, feature stores, model registries, and monitoring dashboards are part of every engagement, not optional extras. Models go to production the same way software does.

  • Containerised inference
  • Feature store
  • Monitoring built in
Production-ready at handover, every time

Every model is evaluated on your data before deployment. Accuracy benchmarks are set at the start of each engagement and documented in the handover report. We do not ship models that do not clear the agreed evaluation thresholds.

Why teams choose Zethic for ML engineering

ML engineers who have shipped, not just trained

Our engineers have taken models from notebook to production with feature pipelines, inference APIs, monitoring, and retraining logic. When we scope your engagement, we are scoping something we have done before, on data that looks like yours.

Your data, your model, your infrastructure

Every model is trained on your data, deployed to your infrastructure, and handed over with full ownership. We use open-source frameworks (PyTorch, scikit-learn, Hugging Face, MLflow), so there are no licence fees, no vendor lock-in, and no dependency on us to keep things running.

Accuracy targets set before training begins

We agree on evaluation metrics and thresholds at the start of every engagement. If the model falls short of the agreed bar on your data, we surface that finding with a clear explanation before a deployment decision is made. Benchmarks are documented and reproducible.

Full lifecycle, one team

We cover the full ML lifecycle: data preparation, feature engineering, model training, evaluation, deployment, monitoring, and retraining. The same team that builds the model operates the pipeline, so nothing gets lost between handoffs.

Frequently Asked Questions

We cover the full range of supervised and unsupervised ML: classification, regression, forecasting, ranking, anomaly detection, NLP, and computer vision. The common thread is that every model ships with defined evaluation criteria, benchmark results on your data, and a production deployment.

A focused single-model engagement, one use case, clean data, and defined labels, typically runs 4 to 8 weeks from data assessment to production deployment. More complex builds with multiple model components, significant data preparation, or custom MLOps infrastructure run 8 to 16 weeks. Timelines are confirmed in scope before any work begins.

The amount and quality of data depend on the task: classification problems typically need thousands of labelled examples per class, while forecasting models depend on the length and consistency of your historical series. The scoping call is where we assess what you have and what the task realistically requires.

You do, fully. The trained model weights, the feature pipeline code, the training scripts, the evaluation results, and all supporting documentation are yours at handover. We build on open-source frameworks (PyTorch, scikit-learn, Hugging Face, MLflow), so there are no licence fees and no dependency on us to run the system.

We agree on evaluation metrics and minimum accuracy thresholds at the start of every engagement, before any training begins, and document them in the project scope. Models are evaluated against these thresholds on held-out test data. If a model falls short of the agreed bar on your data, we surface that finding with a clear explanation before a deployment decision is made.

Every deployment includes monitoring dashboards covering accuracy, latency, and data drift. We document retraining triggers and provide a full operational runbook. For ongoing support, our embedded ML team engagement covers monitoring, retraining, and expansion to new use cases each month. You can also take the system fully in-house.

Yes. We build to integrate with the tools your team already uses: dbt, Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks, Spark, Airflow, and the most common feature store and ML platform options. The scoping call is where we map your existing stack and confirm the integration approach before any build begins.

Yes. If you have models in production but the infrastructure around them, pipelines, monitoring, retraining, versioning, needs strengthening, we scope and build the MLOps layer as a standalone engagement. This typically runs 3 to 8 weeks, depending on the complexity of your existing model estate.

Cost transparency, before the call.

What actually moves the number

Get a real scope band
01

Data preparation complexity

Clean, labelled, well-structured data is faster to work with. Significant cleaning, label creation, or pipeline work from raw sources adds meaningful scope before any training begins.

02

Number of model components

A single binary classifier and a multi-model system with feature sharing, ensemble logic, and separate inference endpoints are very different engineering problems.

03

Annotation and labelling

Computer vision and NLP models often need labelled training data that does not yet exist. Annotation cost and timeline depend on volume, label complexity, and whether human review queues are needed for ambiguous cases.

04

Inference latency requirements

A model that must respond in under 100ms at 10,000 requests per hour needs a different architecture, infrastructure, and optimisation effort than a batch model running nightly.

05

MLOps infrastructure depth

A basic deployment with monitoring is included in every engagement. A full ML platform with model registry, A/B testing, automated retraining, and multi-team feature store support is a separate scoped engagement.

Bands include ML engineering, data engineering, deployment, documentation, and monitoring setup. Annotation services and cloud infrastructure are billed at cost.
