IO Patina Labs

Research that informs what gets built.

IO Patina Labs is the research division of IO Patina LLC. It works on marketing analytics, visual AI, and automation. The work is exploratory — reading, measurement, prototypes, and method — and it is published here as it becomes available.

Focus

Four questions the Labs keep returning to.

Marketing analytics

Measurement design, attribution, and the difference between a number that is available and a number that is useful.

Visual AI

What multimodal models can and cannot tell us about images, video, and the way people actually attend to them.

Automation

Which parts of a research or production workflow should be automated, which should stay manual, and how to tell the two apart.

Computational method

Modelling, simulation, and statistical technique applied to ordinary business and product questions.

Research materials will be published here as they become available.

Working systems

Two things already running.

Where research turns into something operable, it moves into product work at IO Patina. Until then it stays research, and is described as such.

  • Research operations portal

    An internal system for running studies — packets, coding, review, and export. Access is limited to project members.

  • Product work at IO Patina

    The commercial side of the same effort: applications, digital tools, and services designed, built, and operated by IO Patina LLC.
