AI for Data Scientists
Data scientists design experiments, profile datasets, build predictive models, and audit them for bias before they ship. The work is high-leverage but error-prone — power calculations done by hand, data quality issues caught after model training, and bias audits skipped because they're tedious. AI handles the tedium so the data scientist can focus on judgment.

The problem
Where your time is going
These are the documented time-sinks for Data Scientists — the tasks that AI can help most.
A/B test power calculations done by hand
Sample size, MDE, alpha, power — recomputed every experiment in a Jupyter notebook that didn't get committed last time. Or worse: skipped, then the test runs underpowered.
Data quality issues found AFTER model trained
Missing-value patterns, leakage, schema drift — discovered during eval (or production) when they should have been flagged on day one of profiling.
Bias audits skipped because they're tedious
Subgroup analysis across protected attributes, intersectional slicing, fairness metric computation — necessary but slow. So they get postponed until the model is already in production.
The solution
What AI can do for Data Scientists
Specific use cases with real time savings — not generic AI promises.
Automated Experiment Design
45 min → 3 minCompute sample size, power, duration, and SRM checks from a one-paragraph experiment description — instead of opening a stats textbook every time.
Dataset Profiling
3 hrs → 15 minAuto-scan for missing-value patterns, outliers, class imbalance, leakage red flags, and schema drift before you train a single model.
Model Card Generation
1 day → 30 minAuto-generate a complete Model Card per the Mitchell et al. and HuggingFace standard — intended use, limitations, training data provenance, fairness audit, all aligned to EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF requirements.

A/B Test Experiment Design Generator
FreeCompute sample size, power, MDE, duration, and SRM checks for an A/B test from a one-paragraph hypothesis. Pre-committed analysis plan and decision rule.
Dataset Profiling Plan Generator
FreeGenerate a runnable profiling plan for a dataset — missing-value patterns, outlier detection, leakage red flags, and a pre-training checklist. Catch issues on day one instead of during eval.
Model Card Generator
FreeGenerate a Model Card aligned to the Mitchell et al. 2019 framework with fairness audit plan and reviewer questions. One input to a regulatory review under frameworks like the EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF — not compliance certification.
Stakeholder Brief Generator
FreeTranslate model behavior or analysis findings into a stakeholder brief with headline + ask, translated evidence, and uncertainty named directly (not buried). Audience-tailored for execs, product teams, or customer success.
