MISSION We founded Qualytics based on our collective experiences working at a number of early-stage technology companies grappling with challenges related to data quality. We realized how few products are available to help organizations maintain quality & trust in their data pipelines. We're here to change that with a platform capable of detecting and proactively responding to data anomalies before they result in ML model drift, corruption of your aggregated calculations, or other pollution of your downstream systems. We believe that data is the most valuable resource to companies, and that resource isn't useful unless it's reliable. Here's a blog we wrote summarizing some of the problems we're trying to solve: 8 Ways To Royally Flummox Your Data — and Not Even Know It https://qualytics.co/blog/ VALUES Qualytics is a values-driven organization, and we are excited about what we do.
