Our story

Defining a data product is hard. We spent twenty years learning why.

Latend is the company behind Decision Formula. This is where it came from.

Building and running data systems for large organizations, we kept seeing the same pattern.

Most data products didn’t fail because of the technology. They failed because what needed to be built was never clearly defined.

The definition lived in meetings, documents and people’s heads, and the gaps surfaced halfway through delivery. Someone was always in the middle, pulling it together by hand.

We built Decision Formula to do that work.

It is the only product we make.

About the name

Where Latend comes from.

Latend is latent with a d. Latent as in latent space, the layer in AI where patterns exist before they are made explicit.

The d stands for the three things the company is about: data, discovery and decisions.
