Transformly
01
AI strategy and leadership
We act as your fractional Head of AI or CAIO. We help you decide where AI creates value, what to build versus buy, and what to do first. You get a clear plan tied to EBITDA and risk, not hype.
Applied AI, built by operators
AI that creates real value.
We are forward-deployed AI engineers, data scientists, and ML engineers who embed with you, understand your data, and build the models and agents that grow revenue and cut risk. Led by an AI operating partner with 20 years across healthcare, consumer, SaaS, and tech.
Why Transformly
Strategy without a build does not create value. Neither do engineers without business sense.
We are both. We advise executives as a fractional Head of AI or CAIO, and we build the systems ourselves. Twenty years of operating experience means we start from value and risk, not from the technology.
Meet the founder
Operator first. Builder always.
Allen Arseneau
Founder and Head of AI
I'm an operator who's technical enough to build the solution, not just advise on it. I spent ten years as a CEO and served as AI Operating Partner at H.I.G. Capital ($75B AUM), working with its largest portfolio companies, so I know what running a business actually demands and where AI and ML genuinely move the numbers. With Transformly, I've spent four years helping mid-markets expand EBITDA and reduce risk.
My edge is data. I build custom ML models on a company's own data and combine them with AI, GenAI, and agentic systems, from lightweight automations to production-grade platforms in LangGraph. Because I've hired the technical teams and architected these systems myself, I can tell a real solution from a pitch deck, help you decide whether to build, buy, or walk away, and get your team past the fear and into real adoption.
I've worked in healthcare, manufacturing, SaaS, financial services, and technology.

Capabilities
From boardroom decision to production system.
02
Data to durable advantage
Any competitor can rent the same models. Advantage comes from your data. We design products and decision systems that turn proprietary data into revenue growth, competitive position, and exit value.
03
Data, done right
The unglamorous work most teams skip. We understand, clean, and preprocess your data so everything built on top of it holds up. Good models start with good data.
04
ML and predictive modeling
We build and refine models for forecasting, churn, scoring, clustering, and optimization. The result is sharper decisions and measurable lift, not a dashboard nobody opens.
05
Agentic AI, lightweight to commercial
We build agents and workflows at the grade you need, from fast proofs of value to commercial systems that run in production and fit daily operations.
06
Evaluation and risk mitigation
We create evals, add human review where it matters, and pressure-test before anything ships. You get AI you can trust in production, with risk managed up front.
How we reduce hallucinations
Use AI where it works. Engineer certainty where it matters.
We build around your data and choose the right method for each job: data science, machine learning, deterministic tools, evaluations, and human review where the risk calls for it.
Every AI agent can hallucinate. Deterministic tools do not. They run defined steps and return the same correct result every time. Instead of trusting an agent to do math, we give it a calculator built for the exact calculation.
100+
deterministic tools built into one production system to improve accuracy and reduce token use.
Selected work
Measured in business outcomes.
Case study01
Customer acquisition
25x ROI
40% lift in qualified leads
Challenge
Weak lead scoring meant wasted spend and low conversion.
What we built
A classification engine, a churn model, and a lead scoring model.
Case study02
SKU rationalization
40% fewer SKUs
97% of profit retained
Challenge
A bloated catalog of 5,000+ SKUs was draining margin.
What we built
Clustering and market-basket models driving cluster-level pricing and bundling.
Flagship work03
Call compliance scoring
100%
of calls scored in near real time
~80%
fewer hallucinations than the prior tool
Challenge
Only 0.1% of calls were reviewed. Too slow and inconsistent to scale, while one compliance miss can cost $250K to $5M.
What we built
Two scoring engines matched to two call types on the client's own rubrics, delivered as an agentic workflow and live coaching dashboard.
Result
Every call scored, materially fewer hallucinations, and coaching that shifted from anecdotal to data-driven.
Client perspective
“I run a $200M company, and Transformly cut our SKU count nearly in half without hurting profit. They found hidden loss leaders and gave us clear, cluster-based actions. The ROI was outstanding.”
“Transformly turned our data into installed intelligence, including chatbots that let us work with live models every day.”
Security and trust
Your data, always secure.
We work inside your environment or deploy to a secure bastion, with access controls, encryption, and compliance built in from the start.
