AI Decision Systems

Turn predictions into profitable decisions.

OKEMA helps data-rich businesses determine which customers to target, what action to take, and how to allocate limited resources, then measures the incremental impact of every decision.

The Problem

Most AI stops at a prediction. The business still has to decide what to do.

A predictive system asks
An OKEMA decision system asks
Who may churn?
Who should receive an intervention?
Who may commit fraud?
Which case deserves limited review capacity?
Who may purchase?
What offer creates incremental profit?
What may happen?
What should we do next?
The Decision Loop

A common architecture for high-value, repeated decisions.

01

Observe

Customer, transaction, operational, and contextual data.

02

Estimate

Likely outcomes and causal response to each action.

03

Decide

Best permitted action against the business objective.

04

Act

Send the recommendation into the existing workflow.

05

Measure

Compare outcomes against a baseline or holdout.

06

Learn

Improve future decisions with every cycle.

Applied Studies

One capability, shown on specific decisions.

One Architecture

Three families of decision.

Customer decisions

Who can we influence, and how?

·Retention & next-best action
·Cross-sell & upsell
·Treatment selection
·Lifetime-value growth

Pricing & allocation

What is the least costly action that changes the outcome?

·Promotions & discounts
·Incentive design
·Budget allocation
·Renewal pricing

Risk & operational

Where should limited capacity go next?

·Claims triage
·Fraud prioritization
·Payment integrity
·Manual-review queues
Our Philosophy

Predictions don't create value.
Decisions do.

Most businesses already know what happened yesterday. OKEMA is built to help them decide what to do next, on every customer, every incentive, every case worth reviewing.

Proof

What's proven, and how.

Three distinct kinds of evidence, clearly labeled.

Built & operated by OKEMA
Production

A live payment-integrity system converts operational data and business rules into auditable, production-grade decisions embedded in daily workflows.

Founder & Chief Scientist, OKEMA

“After building production AI at Microsoft and researching causal inference, reinforcement learning, and recommender systems, I saw that enterprises rarely struggle because they lack data. They struggle because they lack systems that consistently recommend the best business action.”

I personally lead every initial engagement. PhD in Systems & Information Engineering (University of Virginia); prior work at Microsoft, Netflix, and DoorDash; two issued patents and peer-reviewed publications in causal models, contextual bandits, and counterfactual systems.

The Engagement

Start with one repeated decision.
Prove the value before scaling.

We identify one high-value repeated decision, build and evaluate a decision policy on your historical data, and define how its incremental impact will be measured in production.
