Trusted by SMBs
"They built our forecasting system in 6 weeks, then handed us a list of 5 other things they found while poking around. Three of those were bigger wins than the original project."
Sarah Chen
COO, Regional Distributor
"They built it, documented everything, trained my team, and got out of the way. Haven't needed them since - and that's exactly what they promised."
Marcus Johnson
CTO, Manufacturing SMB
"I asked for an optimization model. I got that, plus a map of every blind spot in our operation. They said they couldn't help it. Paid for itself in 3 months."

FAQ
What does Text + Numbers do?
We're an applied science consulting firm that builds high-impact Machine Learning, Data Science, Optimization, and DevOps solutions exclusively for small and mid-sized businesses. We solve problems so you can focus on what's next — then we get out of your way.
What does 'build once, build right' actually mean?
It means we don't do prototypes that need to be rebuilt, MVPs that never graduate, or solutions that require us to stick around. We build production-ready solutions from day one. You get something that works, that you own, and that your team can run without us. One engagement, one deliverable, done right. Let's talk about yours.
How do I know if my business needs ML, data science, or optimization?
You probably don't need to know — that's our job. If you're making decisions based on gut instinct, losing money to inefficiency, or sitting on data you're not using, there's likely a solution. Tell us the business problem and we'll tell you which tools solve it. No jargon, no upsell.
Why should an SMB invest in data science or machine learning?
Because the same tools that give large enterprises their edge are now accessible to businesses your size — without the enterprise price tag. A good ML model or optimization system can cut costs, improve forecasting, automate decisions, and free up your team's time. When every dollar counts, the ROI on the right solution is massive.
What happens after a project is finished?
You run it. The solution is yours — code, documentation, training, the whole package. We design everything so your team can operate and maintain it independently. If something changes down the road and you need us again, we're here. But the goal is always to make ourselves unnecessary. Learn more about how we work.
