About econworks

We turn business challenges into quantitative clarity. Our roots are in econometrics and predictive modeling, and our mindset is pragmatic: models and assistants are built to answer real business questions—no one-size-fits-all. We combine domain insight, AI modeling expertise, and hands-on data architecture to deliver results that go beyond dashboards.

Data-driven decisions, not opinions
Transparent models, not black boxes
Business outcomes, not vanity metrics
Continuous learning, not one-time reports

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work with any LLM?

We're model-agnostic and data-first. We match models (hosted or self-managed) to your policy, cost, and grounding needs.

Can you use our existing stack?

Yes. We design around your data landscape, pipelines, and tools—no rip-and-replace.

How do you measure ROI?

Every engagement defines KPIs upfront, then models/assistants are validated via measurement, forecasts, and scenario simulations.

Are your models explainable?

We avoid black boxes. Decisions trace back to data, assumptions, and economic logic.

What does a first engagement look like?

A short scoping + data audit, followed by a focused sprint to deliver a validated model or assistant prototype.

How long does a typical project take?

Most initial engagements run 8-12 weeks from data audit to deployed model. AI assistants can be prototyped in 4-6 weeks.
