Machine Learning & Gen AI
Sports Fan Insights AI
Our Client, an NBA team, struggled with extensive fan survey data due to a time-consuming manual cleaning and analysis process, which hindered quick decision-making. Executives often had follow-up questions that required restarting the workflow, isolating insights within individual analysts. As a result, survey analysis was infrequent, delayed, and underutilized for marketing, ticketing, and fan engagement strategies.
