Methodology

How I build AI decision-support systems

Every system I build — whether it's tracking a commodity market, validating a dataset, or monitoring a geospatial hazard — follows the same underlying pipeline. The domain changes; the methodology doesn't.

Collect structured and unstructured data

Ingestion pipelines normalize and validate structured data — transaction records, exchange feeds, price charts, weather forecasts — alongside unstructured sources such as news articles, filings, and imagery. Formats, timezones, and units are standardized at this stage, giving every downstream process a single, consistent schema to work from.

Example Silver Market Intelligence checkframe

Detect relevant signals and anomalies

Statistical and rule-based checks run against the normalized data, screening for outliers, missing values, threshold breaches, and pattern deviations. This layer isolates the data that carries genuine signal, separating material events from routine noise before deeper analysis begins.

Example checkframe — Z-score & spike detection Silver Market Intelligence — technical screening

Train models for predictive alerts

Where the domain supports it, purpose-built models — Isolation Forest for anomaly detection, time-series and classification models for forecasting — are trained on historical patterns to flag emerging risks proactively, rather than surfacing issues only after they have already occurred.

Example checkframe — Isolation Forest anomaly detection GeoHazard — hazard risk scoring

Rank evidence by relevance and impact

Every finding is scored against domain-specific criteria — failure rate, statistical significance, market impact, or conviction — and ranked accordingly, so the most consequential issues surface first instead of sitting buried in an undifferentiated list.

Example Silver Market Intelligence — conviction score checkframe — failure-rate ranking

Apply AI reasoning to generate insight

A large language model layer synthesizes the ranked evidence into a structured narrative, translating technical findings into clear, decision-ready language written for the stakeholder who needs to act on it, not the analyst who produced it.

Example checkframe — plain-language LLM reports Silver Market Intelligence — AI morning brief

Deliver clear dashboards and executive reporting

Findings are delivered through an interactive dashboard and a downloadable executive report, giving stakeholders both the ability to explore the underlying data directly and a concise summary they can act on immediately.

Example All systems ship with a live dashboard + report

Applied

This methodology across my projects

Silver Market Intelligence

Runs the full pipeline end to end on live silver market data: ingesting price, macro and news data, ranking evidence by conviction, and generating a daily AI-written morning brief.

checkframe

Applies the same pipeline to data quality: statistical and ML checks detect issues across large datasets, ranked by failure rate, then explained in plain language via an LLM reporting layer.

GeoHazard Intelligence Platform

Extends the pipeline to geospatial data: automated collection of weather and hazard data, anomaly and risk detection, and interactive visualisation of operational risk.
