Zenith

Optimization, forecasting, and recommendation engine

End-to-end optimization & forecasting for complex, interdependent systems

Zenith is Recursive’s technology platform for getting business use out of complex data. Often paired with our 3 other technologies, Zenith optimizes complex systems, discovers hidden relationships in your data, and generates accurate forecasts and recommendations for business-specific needs.

Basics of Zenith

Zenith is a collection of algorithms, software components, data pipelines, and architectures for system optimization and forecasting, combining state-of-the-art techniques from academic research and technology breakthroughs.

The system ingests nearly any source of data and is hand-optimized by our engineers and data scientists for the specific problems to be solved. Unlike traditional optimization approaches that make small, incremental optimizations on individual parts of the system but fail to factor in all parts of the system, Zenith produces superior results by optimizing the entire system from end-to-end. The following is a simplified example.

Example of chemical formulation predictions

In the pharmaceuticals industry, Zenith can improve profitability and speed up time-to-market by predicting candidate chemical formulations with increased efficacy or reduced side effects. The system ingests a vast array of data sources to build a formulation database. The user selects the desired aspects of the compound to be predicted, and Zenith cycles through a process of optimizing the chemical formulations until adequate candidates are created.

Example use cases by industry

Zenith powers use cases across a variety of industries, from system optimizations to product discovery.
