Given the Ubiquity of Powerful ML Algorithms and Progressive AI
What necessitates the use of a Principled Strategist?
All models are approximations.
Essentially, all models are wrong,
but some are useful
However,
the approximate nature of the model
must always be borne in mind
— George P. Box —
In 1960, Georg Rasche Attested to the Role of the Principled Strategist.
...no models are [true] — not even the Newtonian laws. When you construct a model you leave out all the details which you, with the knowledge at your disposal, consider inessential... Models should not be true, but it is important that they are applicable, and whether they are applicable for any given purpose must of course be investigated. This also means that a model is never accepted finally, only on trial.
At SIGMALYTIC we ask, who determines if the model produced by technology has a viable and interpretable business case? Who will continue to reject and improve upon a model to ensure it is never fully accepted? Until AI can consistently and reliably heed the call, and be trusted to legally and ethically fulfill the qualitatively and qualitatively rigorous role of the Principled Strategist, it will remain a tool to boost our time efficiency, but not as our replacement.
SIGMALYTIC’s Business Model and Value Proposition
We do not believe in holding back value from our clients.
Whether you are at the beginning of an analytical journey, or seeking advanced insight into an existing strategy, we are here to accelerate value creation. Our goal is to inflate your margins, not billable hours.
Our business model is simple and transparent.
Labor and capital not allocated to sales pitches are reallocated to value creation for existing customers. This allows us to maintain low costs of sales, which we pass on to clients through low & transparent fees. Time arbitrage allows us to tackle more problem sets for high-value customers, generate more training data for machine learning, and spend a free hour with each new SIGMALYTIC doing activities we love.
Our customers create value for SIGMALYTIC and one another.
We never share your proprietary information or personal data, but our digitally cloned businesses and models improve their speed and accuracy when exposed to new problem sets and industry data. Digitally cloned businesses can interact with one another, deepening insights. Each new customer creates network value for the entire client base.
Our Strategists are grounded in mathematical theory.
Statistics and Applied Mathematics form connections between the nodes of our various disciplines. As a result, our network effects are, to an extent, agnostic to individual focal industries. Our analysts must be cognizant of industry nuance, but principles of correlation, variance & volatility, & natural logarithms are universal.
