Software to build, clean and enrich data sets.
HIVEMIND
We specialise in generating structured data from
an unstructured world.
Datasets as diverse as the content of documents
or videos, group opinions, or the likelihood of
future events.
We believe humans and computers complement
each other powerfully, and that together they can
tackle problems neither can complete alone.
EFTA00803392
The problem
Data-driven business decisions require structured data.
80% of data is unstructured', much more potential data is unrecorded.
Transformative insights remain inaccessible to businesses within this raw material.
Refining it into valuable data assets is hard to do flexibly, accurately and at scale.

across a data scientist's workload
• Simple integration with a client's internal
workflow

judgement and expertise
• Validated through four years of use by
demanding data organisation
FUNDAMENTAL DATA VALUES
• A practical solution for both big projects
and daily workload
• No reliance on buzzwords
• Data quality is more important than
