Analytics, Business Intelligence & AI

Interpret data, build intelligent dashboards and anticipate challenges with AI-enhanced analytics tailored to your industry. Our deep domain experience turns complexity into insights that are useful, intuitive and actionable.

At 1898 & Co., we partner with your teams to frame decisions around the outcomes that matter, then connect those decisions to the data, processes and people who deliver them. We emphasize human-led, AI-augmented analysis for planners, operators and business leaders, providing the context, clarity and confidence they need, from daily operational reporting to forward-looking forecasts. Trust is nonnegotiable, and we align our work with responsible data and AI practices so models and metrics are explainable, auditable and fit for your regulatory environment.

We design analytics that work where work happens. This includes performance dashboards for capital programs, portfolio and rate case analytics, workforce and safety insights, and operations intelligence that combines OT time series and geospatial and enterprise data into a single, holistic, trustworthy view. Whether you’re diagnosing today’s performance or pressure-testing tomorrow’s scenarios, we help you move from reports to decisions and from decisions to measurable results.
