Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Data Science & Analytics Engineering The team delivered sophisticated statistical models for player performance analysis and predictive algorithms that power key product features. They built ML pipelines for pattern recognition and strategic insights, transforming raw sensor data into actionable intelligence. Additionally, they developed innovative approaches to reduce hardware dependencies, enabling broader accessibility of our analytics capabilities across different user segments and equipment configurations.Mobile Development TenX engineers shipped feature-complete modules across both iOS and Android platforms.Backend & Web Engineering The backend team restructured critical API services to handle  traffic growth and new web experiences.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Data Science Innovation TenX's modeling work fundamentally transformed our analytics capabilities. The new models they developed and deployed became cornerstone features of our platform, unlocking product possibilities we couldn't previously deliver. Their innovative approaches to player performance analysis and predictive algorithms significantly elevated our competitive position in the market.

Model Performance & Reliability The production models consistently exceeded performance benchmarks while maintaining exceptional reliability. Their work enabled real-time insights at scale that were previously computationally infeasible. The alternative approaches they developed for equipment-independent analysis opened entirely new user segments and use cases.

Mobile Development Support The team provided solid execution on mobile development tasks, helping maintain release cadence and clearing technical debt. They delivered reliable, well-tested features across iOS and Android that integrated smoothly with existing systems.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Project Management Process Integration TenX worked entirely within our existing sprint structure and development workflows. No special processes or management overhead required.

Delivery & Reliability Consistently met sprint commitments and milestones. When priorities shifted, they adapted immediately without missing deadlines.

Communication Direct engineer-to-engineer collaboration. Clear updates, proactive blocker identification, minimal supervision needed.

Functioned as an integrated extension of our team rather than an external vendor.

What was your primary form of communication with TenX?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Collaborative Problem-Solving TenX distinguished themselves through genuine technical partnership on complex data science challenges. Rather than simply executing requirements, their team actively engaged in exploratory analysis and experimentation to find optimal modeling approaches.

Innovation Through Iteration They brought fresh perspectives to long-standing analytical challenges, proposing novel approaches we hadn't considered internally. Their willingness to iterate through multiple modeling strategies until finding breakthrough solutions set them apart from typical consultancies.

Technical Depth The team's deep understanding of both theoretical foundations and practical constraints enabled them to navigate complex tradeoffs effectively. They could explain sophisticated modeling decisions in business terms while maintaining technical rigor.

Are there any areas for improvement or something TenX could have done differently?

Time Zone Coordination The primary challenge was the limited overlap between US East Coast and Pakistan working hours. While the team made genuine efforts to accommodate - adjusting schedules for critical meetings and maintaining responsive async communication - the narrow window for real-time collaboration occasionally slowed decision-making on complex technical issues.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

TenX was engaged as our foundational technology partner during our early-stage development when we lacked in-house expertise in product management, software development, and cloud infrastructure. Their comprehensive engagement spanned the entire product development lifecycle from initial concept through production deployment.
Key Deliverables:
• MVP Development & Launch - TenX built our initial minimum viable product from the ground up, establishing core functionality and technical architecture
• Production Application Development - Successfully transitioned the MVP into robust, scalable production applications through collaborative development with our growing team
• Iterative Product Enhancement - Led multiple development cycles to refine and expand application features as we worked to achieve product-market fit
• Cloud Infrastructure Setup - Established our cloud infrastructure foundation and deployment processes
• Knowledge Transfer & Collaboration - Worked closely with our employees to build internal capabilities while maintaining development velocity
• Agile Development Support - Provided flexible development resources to accommodate frequent pivots and iterations as we refined our market positioning
The engagement was particularly valuable given the dynamic nature of our business during the product-market fit phase, requiring TenX to adapt quickly to changing requirements and priorities while maintaining technical excellence throughout the development process.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Most Impressive & Unique Qualities:

Business-Technical Hybrid Expertise:
• What stood out most was TenX's rare combination of deep technical capabilities with strong business acumen - they didn't just build what we asked for, they helped us understand what we actually needed
• Their ability to work effectively with vague requirements and translate business concepts into technical solutions was exceptional.

Startup-Native Approach:
• TenX truly understood the early-stage company environment and embraced the ambiguity and rapid iteration that comes with finding product-market fit
• Unlike traditional development firms that struggle with changing requirements, they thrived in our dynamic environment.

Total Commitment to Success:
• Their willingness to work all hours during critical moments demonstrated genuine partnership rather than just a vendor relationship
• The team treated our urgent issues as their own, showing a level of dedication that went far beyond contractual obligations.

Foundational Partnership:
• Most impressive was their ability to essentially serve as our entire technical organization during our formative period, then seamlessly transition to collaborative partners as we built internal capabilities
• They provided the technical foundation that enabled us to generate real revenue while we were still figuring out our market

Adaptability Under Pressure:
• Their capacity to deliver meaningful results even when we couldn't provide clear specifications showed a level of experience and intuition that's rare in the development space.

TenX felt more like a technical co-founder team than a traditional vendor, which was exactly what we needed at that stage of our company's development.

Are there any areas for improvement or something TenX could have done differently?

At the time, it would have been better to have a more hybrid team from a timezone perspective, but they have implemented that now.
