For AI & ML Leaders

Your AI Is Only as Good as Your Data Pipeline

ML teams spend 80% of their time preparing data, not building models. Most AI projects fail because of data quality, not algorithms. Expanso makes your data AI-ready at the source.

Why AI Projects Struggle

The bottleneck isn't compute or algorithms - it's data

Data Preparation Dominates

Data scientists spend 80% of their time cleaning, labeling, and preparing data. Actual model development is squeezed into the remaining 20%. Projects take months instead of weeks.

80% time wasted on data prep

Training-Serving Skew

Models trained on batch data perform differently in production. Feature engineering inconsistent between training and inference. Models degrade without explanation.

Production model failures

Data Quality Kills Models

Garbage in, garbage out. Models trained on biased, incomplete, or low-quality data make bad predictions. By the time you notice, the model is in production.

30-40% accuracy loss

AI-Ready Data at the Source

Ensure data quality, context, and governance before it reaches your ML platforms

Continuous Data Validation

Schema validation, type checking, and business rules enforced at the source. Bad data never reaches your training pipelines.

Prevent garbage in

Feature Engineering at Source

Compute features where data originates. Same transformations for training and inference. Eliminate training-serving skew.

Consistent features everywhere

Real-Time Feature Serving

Fresh features available in milliseconds. Support real-time inference without batch delays. Enable production ML at scale.

Sub-10ms feature latency

Data Lineage for Models

Track every transformation from raw data to model input. Understand what data influenced which predictions. Enable model debugging and compliance.

Explainable AI foundations

How It Works for ML Teams

1

Validate at Source

Data quality checks run where data originates. Schema validation, null checking, outlier detection happen before data moves.

Catch issues before training
2

Transform Consistently

Define feature engineering in YAML. Same transformations apply in batch training and real-time inference.

Eliminate training-serving skew
3

Route to ML Platforms

Send clean, transformed data to Databricks, SageMaker, Vertex AI, or your custom ML infrastructure.

Works with any ML platform
4

Serve Features Real-Time

Fresh features available at inference time. Support real-time predictions without batch feature stores.

AI Use Cases Enabled

Real-Time Recommendations

Challenge: Batch feature pipelines too slow for real-time personalization. Features stale by the time inference runs.
Solution: Compute features at the source in real-time. Fresh features available for every prediction request.
Result: Real-time personalization at scale

Fraud Detection

Challenge: Models need sub-second predictions on streaming transactions. Historical feature stores too slow.
Solution: Edge-computed features with millisecond latency. Same features for training and real-time scoring.
Result: Sub-10ms fraud scoring

Predictive Maintenance

Challenge: IoT sensor data too noisy for direct model input. Manual feature engineering doesn't scale.
Solution: Automated feature computation at sensor level. Clean, structured features for maintenance models.
Result: 10x more sensors, same team size

NLP and Document Processing

Challenge: Raw text data requires extensive preprocessing. Different pipelines for training and inference.
Solution: Text normalization, tokenization, and embedding at source. Consistent document features everywhere.
Result: Production NLP in days, not months
