About

Clearlead is a Dublin consultancy that is, in practice, one senior specialist: founder Dr. Paul Ferguson, who holds a PhD in information retrieval and machine learning and previously led data science at UnitedHealth Group. Clients get him directly, for strategy, technical review or a build. The site has nine case studies, including a weekly price-prediction pipeline across 30,000+ products for a metals retailer and hybrid retrieval over 8,000+ suppliers for an industrial parts distributor. Every client is anonymised. Two client founders, at Elli Cares and Eagle Exports, are quoted by name and match two of those studies. Logos for Wharton and Penn State appear without supporting detail. Clutch lists the firm with no reviews.

In their words

Paul is exceptional. We've been so lucky to have him work with us on our health insights engine the past few months. His communication skills are fantastic, he works quickly and thoroughly. We had a number of changes to the scope and plan and he adjusted well to accommodate us.

Paul was brought in as an external AI consultant with expertise in search systems to provide guidance on a project to implement an AI-driven supplier sourcing system. As part of this he also built a supplier data enrichment system. I was very happy with Paul's contribution to the project and would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Managing Director, Eagle Exports

Paul is a great person to work with, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for any role or project. It is rare to find someone who excels in technical expertise as well as interpersonal skills. I have no doubt that all his clients will benefit from his deep technical domain knowledge, his attention to detail and his personal touch.
