Agentic Automation and a RAG system

  • This project involved extraction of intelligence data to support report writing for a company that provides geopolitical, global, commercial intelligence. The data have been gathered from a number of resources (interview transcripts, online data, internal documents), and then a knowledge base has been build from it. This was the basis of a complex RAG system, that was evaluated against a golden dataset. Agents have been used to find out the contradicting intelligence, the statements supporting each other, and to store back the generated knowledge.

Used: Python, RAG, LangGraph, LangChain, deepeval, MCP

About the technology

What Data Science covers

Data Science combines statistics, programming and domain knowledge to extract useful answers from structured and unstructured data. Specialists explore patterns, test assumptions and create predictive models that support products, operations, risk management and research. The work extends from a raw dataset to a trusted decision process.

Typical deliverables

  • Forecasting demand, revenue, capacity or operational events
  • Building recommendation, classification and anomaly-detection models
  • Designing experiments and measuring product or process changes
  • Creating dashboards, data products and decision-support workflows
  • Translating model results into clear business actions

Strong delivery connects technical analysis with a measurable business question. It also documents assumptions, data limitations and the conditions under which a model should be used.

Tools and ecosystem

Python and SQL are common foundations, supported by pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn and notebooks. Specialists may also work with PyTorch or TensorFlow for deep learning, Spark for distributed processing, and cloud services for storage, training and deployment. Git, Docker, orchestration tools and experiment tracking help teams reproduce and maintain their work.

When companies need specialists

Companies often bring in freelance expertise when internal teams have valuable data but lack the capacity to turn it into a dependable solution. A specialist can assess data quality, choose a practical modelling approach and establish a path from prototype to production. In Munich, this work can support manufacturing, mobility, finance, healthcare and technology businesses, with remote or on-site collaboration depending on access and team routines.

Working with business data

A successful project begins with usable definitions, suitable data access and agreement on what success means. Specialists need to handle missing values, bias, leakage, privacy and changing business conditions rather than treating modelling as a standalone task. They also explain uncertainty so stakeholders can make informed decisions instead of reading predictions as facts.

What strong professionals bring

Experienced professionals combine analytical depth with communication and delivery discipline. They can challenge an attractive but unsuitable use case, compare a simple baseline with a more complex model, and make trade-offs visible. Look for evidence of reproducible work, thoughtful validation, maintainable code and close collaboration with product, engineering and subject-matter teams. German or English communication may be relevant for Munich-based work, depending on the stakeholders and documentation.

Frequently asked questions

What clients ask us most about Data Science — answered in short.

Companies use Data Science to forecast demand, detect unusual activity, personalise experiences, optimise processes and support business decisions. The right approach depends on the available data, the decision to improve and the cost of incorrect predictions.

Data Science often includes predictive modelling, experimentation and machine learning, while business intelligence usually focuses on reporting and established metrics. Data analytics can cover both descriptive and diagnostic work, so the boundaries depend on the organisation and the project.

A strong Data Science specialist often brings SQL, statistics, data visualisation and domain analysis alongside Python. Production work may also require cloud services, data engineering, software development, model deployment and responsible data practices.

The needed level of Data Science experience depends on the project’s risk, data complexity and path to production. Exploratory analysis may suit a specialist with focused expertise, while regulated decisions or continuously running models call for a professional who has handled validation, monitoring and stakeholder review.

Much Data Science work can be completed remotely when data access, security controls and communication routines are well defined. On-site collaboration may help during discovery, workshops or work with sensitive operational data, while German language skills depend on the client team and business context.

Assess Data Science quality through the clarity of the problem definition, data checks, validation method and explanation of uncertainty. Ask how the specialist would establish a baseline, prevent leakage, test performance on relevant cases and monitor the solution after release.

A Data Science specialist should compare machine learning with rules, statistical models and existing business processes before recommending complexity. A simpler method may be preferable when the dataset is limited, explanations matter more than marginal accuracy, or maintenance resources are constrained.

Before starting, a Data Science freelancer should clarify the decision the work will support, available data, access permissions, delivery constraints and who owns the result. They should also agree on how findings will be reviewed and whether the expected output is an analysis, a model, a deployed service or a repeatable workflow.
