Services

Start with the problem you have. These are the ones we’re most often brought in to solve.

  • Data Science: Your data is scattered across spreadsheets and tools. We pull it together into dashboards and answers you can act on.
  • Statistical Analysis: Is that result real, or just noise? We quantify the uncertainty so you decide on evidence.
  • Machine Learning & AI: Predict churn, flag anomalies, automate decisions, with models tuned to your data, not off-the-shelf guesses.
  • Mathematical Modelling: We model complex operations to cut cost and risk in scheduling, pricing, and logistics.
  • Business Automation: Repetitive tasks eat hours. We automate the busywork so your team spends time where it counts.
  • Forecasting & Prediction: Stop guessing demand. We forecast sales, stock, and trends so you can plan with confidence.

About Us

KH Solve is a small consultancy built on academic research. Nick holds a PhD in physics, Nicola a PhD in statistics, and we spent years in university research before bringing that rigour to businesses across the UK.

That training shows up in the work. We figure out what your data can actually support, then build something that holds up under real conditions: automating repetitive tasks, finding the signal in your numbers, forecasting demand, or putting AI to a specific, useful job.

We’re based in Consett, County Durham, and work with clients UK-wide. We take on whatever a problem needs, scope and price it clearly, and hand over something you own at the end.

The first conversation is free. Tell us what you’re up against and we’ll be honest about whether we can help.
