How a pilot works

One figure, with your data in your environment.

A pilot proves Calseda on one figure that matters to you, next to what you run today. Nothing is replaced and nothing is switched off. If it works, you extend it. If it doesn't, you stop, and you have lost little.

Step by step

Agreed with you before we start.

  1. Choose one figure

    Pick a figure that is late or hard to explain today. Exposure for one desk, liquidity in one currency, the open position of one wind farm, the liability on one league's matches. Choose one whose improvement would be of great value to the business.

  2. Agree what success looks like

    In your words: how current the figure should be, and what an auditor should be able to see behind it.

  3. Set it up in your environment

    Calseda runs on your own infrastructure, and people sign in with your own identity provider. It reads the data your systems already produce, where it already is.

  4. Build the calculation together

    Your developers and ours write the calculation behind the figure. It is a small piece of code in Java or Python. Calseda provides everything around it: the data, the updates, the exact inputs behind each result, sign-in and alerts.

  5. Run it side by side

    The live figure runs next to today's process. Your team compares the two and asks "what if?" questions. Alerts reach people where they already work: Teams, Slack, the ticketing system or Excel.

  6. Decide together

    Extend it to more figures or more desks, or stop. The calculations your developers wrote stay yours either way.

What it takes

What you provide, and what you get.

You provide

  • A sponsor who owns the figure and cares about the outcome.
  • A contact in IT or data who can arrange access to the data and an environment.
  • Read access to the data the figure needs, as your systems already produce it.
  • An environment to run in, and your identity provider for sign-in.
  • Some time from the people who use the figure, to review it and its alerts.
  • As a design partner: agreement to a case study, written with you and published only with your approval.

You get

  • The figure live in your environment, with the inputs behind it and how fresh each one is.
  • Alerts to the team that owns it, where it already works.
  • The live figure in Excel, for the people who work there.
  • Private "what if?" questions on the live data, from a browser or Excel.
  • Our engineers working with yours throughout.
  • As a design partner: generous terms, and a say in what Calseda builds next.

What we don't ask

No migration and no big programme.

Keep your systems and your data

Calseda reads the data your systems already produce, in your environment. It replaces none of them, and nothing has to be copied to us.

Keep your sign-in

People and AI assistants sign in through your identity provider, and its roles decide who may do what.

Length and terms depend on scope: how many data sources the figure needs, and what your environment requires. We agree them with you before we start.
