Capabilities

What we evaluate

Evaluation for space technology teams, shaped around your task, data and operating conditions.

01

Data Quality & Readiness

Assess dataset structure, duplication, missing information, label quality and train–test separation before development or evaluation.

  • Data audit
  • Sample review
  • Prioritised fixes
Discuss this evaluation
02

Model Comparison

Compare candidate models on the same task and agreed test data, with consistent metrics and analysis of failure cases.

  • Comparison report
  • Results tables
  • Reproducible evaluation scripts
Discuss this evaluation
03

Robustness & Generalisation

Examine performance across relevant regions, sensors, conditions and data shifts to identify weaknesses beyond average scores.

  • Scenario results
  • Failure analysis
  • Improvement priorities
Discuss this evaluation
04

Efficiency & Deployment

Measure the trade-offs between task performance, latency, throughput and memory use on an agreed computing platform.

  • Runtime profiles
  • Configuration comparison
  • Deployment findings
Discuss this evaluation
05

Workflow Evaluation

Compare complete data-processing pipelines, including preparation, filtering, compression and inference, against agreed outcomes.

  • Pipeline comparison
  • Quality and cost analysis
  • Technical recommendations
Discuss this evaluation

Application Areas

Potential application areas, scoped around your technical question.

  • Earth observation
  • Change detection
  • Spacecraft vision
  • Robotic perception
  • Space data workflows
Focused evaluation

Private Benchmark Pilot

A focused evaluation designed around one practical technical decision.

Scope, data access conditions and a quotation are confirmed before the pilot begins.

Model training, additional integration and new tests are agreed separately.

Suggested scope

  • One task and one agreed-size dataset
  • Up to three existing, runnable models
  • An agreed evaluation environment and compute budget
  • A report, results tables and reproducible evaluation scripts
  • One findings review session
Process

How We Work

  1. Define the question
  2. Agree data and metrics
  3. Run and review
  4. Deliver findings
Evidence you can use

What Makes Results Useful

Traceable versions and data splits
Record the dataset versions, train–test splits, model checkpoints and software versions used for the evaluation.
Defined metrics and environment
Document the metrics, configurations and computing environment so comparisons can be interpreted and repeated.
Failure cases and limitations
Show where systems struggle, gaps in test coverage and the limits of the findings.
Data and results handling
Private customer data and results are handled under agreed terms. Public release requires the customer's authorisation.
Methods

Methods and limits

Findings apply to the evaluated data, software and operating conditions. Hardware-specific claims require measurements on the relevant platform.

Measured energy use

Energy use is reported only when it has been measured as part of the agreed evaluation.

Explicit simulation assumptions

Simulation results are labelled as simulated, with assumptions and scenario conditions recorded.

Evaluation scope

This service does not provide flight qualification, radiation testing or formal certification.

Keep the evidence current

Periodic Re-evaluation

When data, models or operating conditions change, arrange a repeat evaluation. We agree the updated scope and document changes so findings can be compared with earlier runs where appropriate.
