Case study

900,000 specimens for a biotech company, turned into one searchable database

Client: biotech company Service: AI Tool Selection & Implementation

The problem

The company's specimen records were spread across scattered, inconsistent sources. Finding one specimen, or every specimen that matched a set of criteria, meant digging through several systems by hand.

Going to AI

What AI did

AI pulled the records into one structure and tagged and classified every specimen. It's the kind of job AI is very good at: huge, repetitive and easy to check.

Staying with people

What people did

Our team designed the structure, decided which attributes counted, and checked the AI's classifications against the source records. Nothing went into the final database without that check.

The result
900,000

One database of 900,000 specimens that the team can search by any of 20 attributes, in seconds.
