R development

A statistical language with an unmatched library for analysis and visualisation, used where the deliverable is a defensible finding rather than a running service.

When we reach for it

Statistical work with an existing R practice around it — clinical, actuarial and research settings where the methods, and the people reviewing them, are already there.

When we would argue against it

We do not put R in a production request path. Where a model has to be served, it moves to Python behind an evaluation harness, or it is reimplemented in the language the rest of the system runs on.

What it looks like in delivery

Almost always alongside a client’s own analysts: we take responsibility for reproducibility, packaging and getting the result into a system, and leave the statistics with the people qualified to sign them.

Where this appears on the site

Nothing on this site names it yet

We work in R, and no case study or service page currently published on this site prints it in its stack. Rather than describe an engagement you cannot check, this space stays empty until one does. Ask us and we will talk you through it directly.

Tell us what it is running, what it costs you today, and what you need it to do next. A senior engineer will tell you what we would keep and what we would change.
