What does a machine learning development service include?
A machine learning development service covers the full lifecycle: problem framing, data collection and preparation, feature engineering, model training and evaluation, deployment to production, and ongoing monitoring and retraining (MLOps). Zeven delivers all six phases as either a fixed-scope project or an embedded ML team.
When should a business use machine learning instead of rules?
Use machine learning when the inputs are too varied, too high-volume, or too noisy for hand-written rules to keep pace — for example, fraud detection, demand forecasting, recommendation, churn prediction, document classification, or image recognition. Rules are still better when the logic is fully known and stable.
How does Zeven handle data privacy in ML projects?
Zeven follows a privacy-by-design approach: minimum necessary data, encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access controls, audit logging, and PII redaction before training. For regulated workloads we deploy inside the client's own cloud account so data never leaves their boundary.
What ML frameworks and platforms does Zeven use?
Zeven works with TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn, Hugging Face Transformers, XGBoost, and LightGBM, deployed on AWS SageMaker, Google Vertex AI, or Azure Machine Learning. For LLM-based systems we integrate OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, and open-weight models via Bedrock or self-hosted inference.
How long does an ML project typically take?
A focused predictive model with clean data ships to production in 6–10 weeks. A full ML platform with data pipelines, feature store, and MLOps tooling typically takes 4–6 months. Zeven publishes weekly progress with a working baseline by week three.
