BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and position.
I am the founder&ceo of Young Business Club
Describe what your company does in a single sentence.
Business Match is a mobile app that helps people build strong business relationships. Using an interest matching algorithm, entrepreneurs can search for partnerships, investments, and mentors. Business Match connects entrepreneurs who are open to collaboration, business, and friendly communication in real time. You don’t need to ask, “Is a potential partner open to collaboration right now?” The app knows in advance. You can start communicating right away. Based on a wide range of criteria, the system ranks potential entrepreneurs who may be useful to you. Here are some key indicators: Common goals – if you select “Looking for an investor,” the algorithm will show you people who are looking for investment projects and are located in your region; Business interests – priority is given to entrepreneurs from your business sector. Experience shows that the fastest growth occurs through sharing experiences and learning from each other; Geo – first of all, you see people who are closer to your location; Passions – Choose from over 150 hobbies and find someone who shares your passion. Most people first find common ground in values and hobbies. Business interests come later. The free version gives users access to the basic features of the program: daily viewing of 20 profiles of people with common interests, messaging and a calendar of business events. For just $6.99 per week, you get unlimited access to over 1,000 professional entrepreneurs, unlimited partner selection and the “Social Capital” feature, which allows you to create lists of interesting people.

Describe what your company does in a single sentence.
Software Development Company with our products.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What specific goals or objectives did you hire blackthorn.ai to accomplish?
To protect the IP, its pre-processing steps, and models.
To create a versioned, standalone executable Docker image for the toolchain’s processing, which is run from the command line to process local data.
To develop a software toolchain that takes complex AI/ML models developed in its own environment and makes them executable in a standalone context by clients, for example, in predictive mode (or other forms of inference).

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
Collecting and analyzing requirements, framing the problem, and scoping the work.
Development and testing of the IP packaging toolchain API. A command line toolchain executable or script takes a manifest as a command line parameter and model details (name, version), gathers all the inputs, and packages them for execution as a Docker image.
Defensive coding for bad inputs or unexpected runtime environment issues.
Development of the modular workflow: allowing dry runs, run up to specific stage (config validation, obfuscation, docker packaging, etc.)
Refactor the code according to the agreed changes and update the tests accordingly.
Adding automated unit and integration tests to improve the validation of the packaging and obfuscation strategies.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
A software repository that can be used to build the AI packaging toolchain.
The customer can execute each model autonomously.
The customer cannot open the packaged ML model and relevant source code.
A user receiving the executable cannot reverse engineer the code and model parameters.
Download of model executable and model source code are restricted by identity and access management.
Models are clearly versioned.
A command line executable should take inputs from an addressable file system and output model prediction to the file system.
Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
Their project management for our initiative was highly efficient and well-organized. All deliverables were consistently provided on time, ensuring that every deadline was met without delays. They responded promptly to our needs, demonstrating a flexible and attentive approach to any changes or requests we had. Overall, their professional and customer-focused project management contributed to a smooth and successful collaboration.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
The most impressive and unique about this company was their exceptional commitment to customer satisfaction and their team's initiative and ability to work autonomously. They met all project deadlines and went above and beyond to address our specific needs and requests. Their proactive communication and willingness to adapt to changes ensured a seamless workflow.
The team demonstrated remarkable initiative, often anticipating our needs and providing solutions without requiring constant direction. Their innovative approach and expertise in their field set them apart, consistently delivering high-quality solutions that exceeded our expectations.
Are there any areas for improvement or something blackthorn.ai could have done differently?
I am delighted with the work of the Blackthorn.ai team and plan to continue collaborating with them. Their performance has proven more effective than our in-house team's, primarily due to their specialized expertise in Biotech and Life Sciences areas. Their deep knowledge and experience in this field have significantly contributed to the success of our projects, making them an invaluable partner.
