ABOUT
The American Analytic Institute is comprised of seasoned statisticians, technologists, data scientists, and business strategists who understand that the value of their work is rooted not in its complexity but in its application to solving real world business problems. We take our mission of providing high-value analytics driven by quantifiable business objectives - as defined by our clients - very seriously.
Oftentimes, analytical initiatives are designed and carried out by people isolated from the business objectives that they are intended to support. AAI's model engages our clients as full partners in methodological design and closely monitors intermediate goals by coordinating with them in a series of checkpoints. This continuous feedback loop insures that our results will not deviate from your expectations.
