Fast Data Science has been consulting in data science in large and small organisations across sectors and industries. We focus primarily on natural language processing (NLP). We are industry agnostic although we have a particular range of experience in industries where a large number of unstructured text documents such as PDFs are prevalent, such as the following areas:
The manager, Thomas Wood, studied a Masters in 2008 at Cambridge University in Computer Speech, Text and Internet Technology and since then he has been working exclusively in data science consulting. In 2018, he founded Fast Data Science to deliver data science consulting services.
We use all forms of technologies to solve our clients’ needs. It’s whatever does the job. It could be a simple machine learning model, or it could involve generative AI. But we won’t use unnecessarily complex or expensive technologies where a simpler option is available. Talk to us and we can help you decide.
Using our technical knowledge of natural language processing and experience in consulting for organisations across industries, we are able to use the unstructured data in your organisation to help you find hidden insights in order to aid business decision making and improve your business strategy.

Above: A breakdown of our AI strategy and data science consulting workflow. We take a business-centric rather than technology-centric approach to the business, taking the time to investigate what kind of AI projects would have a beneficial effect on your organisation. For an example of a data science consulting engagement, you can read our case study about how we helped Tarion (the housing regulator in Ontario) develop a data science strategy.
Today many companies have large amounts of unstructured data. This data could be scanned paper documents, PDFs, HTML, Excels, or documents floating around a Sharepoint account.
Unstructured data is very difficult to deal with but can contain a goldmine of information. Fast Data Science specialises in extracting value from organisations’ unstructured datasets.
In a data science consulting engagement, we will take the time to understand your business processes and what kind of data is making your business tick. The solution may be a cutting-edge tool such as a generative AI model, or it could be a simple linear regression model. We will cut through the information overload to help deliver an AI strategy that suits your needs.

We do a lot of our data science consulting work with Python. We have worked on a variety of data science models, including:
We work with the following programming languages and frameworks:
and many more.
Data science is being increasingly adopted across the healthcare sector. This technology is sometimes called healthtech or MedTech. Data science is being used to compare and detect changes in clinical reports, extract clinical concepts such as MeSH terms from electronic medical records, and predict workforce attrition for healthcare providers.
We have worked on a number of projects in healthcare, including:
Our data science consulting services deliver tailored solutions, leveraging AI, machine learning, and NLP to drive innovation and efficiency across industries like healthcare, finance, and retail. We begin with strategic workshops to align data initiatives with business goals, followed by data exploration, model development, and deployment on cloud platforms like Azure. These data science consulting services have delivered impactful results, such as predictive models for the NHS and risk analysis tools for pharmaceutical firms.
By transforming unstructured data, such as customer feedback or legal documents, into actionable insights, we help clients enhance decision-making and profitability. With many years of experience in the field, we have been doing this since long before large language models came on the scene. We can work with both traditional machine learning models, and LLMs, and everything in between.
Founded in 2016 by Thomas Wood, with a Cambridge Masters in NLP, Fast Data Science ensures practical, jargon-free outcomes.
