About Using computer vision, the system automates explicit content moderation and achieves a 99% reduction in image processing time
Industry: Climate Tech
Business Type: AI development
15 Rock is a consulting firm dedicated to sustainability and carbon reduction. They help organizations evaluate their operations, uncover decarbonization opportunities, and implement strategies that lower carbon emissions, without compromising profitability.
Goals
15 Rock aimed to build an AI-powered prototype that would modernize their decarbonization consulting services. Their key objectives included:
Developing an intelligent platform to automate data research and analysis
Enabling streamlined data collection related to CO₂ emissions and asset management
Creating clear, interactive visualizations to present decarbonization strategies effectively
The Problem
15 Rock sought to elevate its sustainability consulting services by integrating AI-driven tools, but several key challenges stood in the way:
Time-Intensive Research: Gathering data on company operations, assets, and emissions was a manual, labor-heavy process that slowed down project timelines.
Analytical Complexity: Crafting effective decarbonization strategies demanded deep, sophisticated analysis of both financial and operational datasets
Limited Scalability: Their reliance on manual workflows restricted their capacity to scale and support a growing client base
Our Project Challenges
Solution
To bring this vision to life, Rytsense Technologies partnered with 15 Rock to design and develop a prototype for an AI-enabled platform tailored to sustainability consulting. The solution included:
Trained on an initial dataset of 1,500 labeled images, the model achieved 85% classification accuracy. A human-in-the-loop workflow was introduced for cases where the model’s confidence dropped below 80%, enabling continuous learning and improvement of the model over time.
Implementation
Tech Stack:
Backend
Python (FastAPI) for backend services, AWS Lambda for serverless execution, and AWS S3 for secure data storage
Frontend
React.js for a responsive and intuitive user interface
Data Collections
Web scraping tools to gather relevant data from public sources automatically
Timeline
The initial prototype was successfully delivered in just 4 months, with flexibility for future enhancements and integration.
Potential Impact
The AI prototype laid a strong technological foundation for 15 Rock to evolve their consulting practice by:
Streamlining Workflows
Reducing manual research and analysis time significantly
Enhancing Value Delivery
Offering clients data-backed, actionable decarbonization strategies
Preparing for Scale
Establishing a platform that can grow alongside client demand and feature complexity
conclusion
This successful collaboration with 15 Rock highlights Rytsense Technologies deep expertise in building AI-powered solutions for specialized domains like sustainability. By delivering a robust and scalable prototype, Rytsense Technologies empowered 15 Rock to demonstrate the transformative potential of AI in decarbonization consulting, opening the door to smarter, more efficient client engagements.
