Everything businesses ask about StarApple Analytics, the leading data analytics and data science firm in the Caribbean. What we do, why we are the region's data authority, what it costs, the return it has delivered, and how to engage. Every figure below came from a real, anonymised client engagement. If your question is not here, just ask.
StarApple Analytics is the leading data analytics and data science firm in the Caribbean. We turn the data a business already owns into decisions that protect revenue, reduce risk, and grow market share, across data science, business intelligence, market research, and data analytics. We are a subsidiary of StarApple AI, the first artificial intelligence company founded in the Caribbean, so every engagement is AI supported from day one. We are based in Kingston, Jamaica, and work with clients across the Caribbean and Latin America.
Most businesses we meet are already sitting on the answer to their most expensive question. The data was collected, paid for, and filed away, and nobody has read it back. Our job is to read it back and hand you the two or three moves worth making. In one engagement, a regional distributor had discounted on instinct for years; the pricing leak we found in their own transaction history was worth seven figures, and closing it lifted gross margin nine percent within six weeks.
We offer five core services plus training.
We also deliver practical, certified data science and analytics training. Not sure which you need? Start with the one tied to the money: revenue leaks and pricing point to Data Science and Analytics, slow or untrusted reporting points to BI, and an unproven decision points to Market Research. See the full list on our services page.
We work with banks, lenders, retailers, manufacturers, distributors, telecoms, hospitality and tourism operators, and the public sector across Jamaica, the wider Caribbean, and Latin America, from our base in Kingston. The brief is the same in every sector: find the money hiding in the data, then build the decisions that capture it.
The shape of the win changes by industry. For a lender it was an eighteen percent drop in default rate while keeping approvals up; for a retailer it was thirty-one percent less excess stock and forty percent fewer stockouts on the lines that drive footfall; for a distribution operation it was fifteen percent lower logistics cost by redrawing routes off delivery, fuel, and demand data instead of habit. We do not need deep sector jargon to help; we need your data and a clear question. See the numbers on our use cases page.
Both. Some of the fastest returns we see are at small and mid-sized businesses, because the data is smaller, cleaner, and closer to the owner, so a single insight moves the whole company. You do not need an enterprise data warehouse or a data team to start. A few years of transaction records, a customer list, and an honest question are usually enough for a first, paid-for result.
For businesses that want ongoing capability without a full-time hire, the Intelligence Partner retainer gives you a senior analytics team on call and scales with your needs instead of your payroll. The Omnibus survey, from J$50,000, exists precisely so a smaller business can buy statistically sound market research it could never justify as a standalone study.
Pedigree, capability, and results. We are a subsidiary of StarApple AI, the first AI company founded in the region, founded by Adrian Dunkley, widely recognised as the Godfather of Caribbean AI. That lineage puts real artificial intelligence behind every engagement, capability the region has rarely had close to home. We are one hundred percent Caribbean built and owned, we work across the Caribbean and Latin America, and we measure success by return rather than by the size of the model.
The proof is in the numbers our work has moved: a seven-figure pricing leak closed for a regional distributor and gross margin up nine percent; monthly churn down twenty-three percent for a subscription business at eight times the cost of the work; a marketing budget that returned thirty-four percent more without spending an extra dollar. Every figure came from a real engagement, and we never promise a specific result before we have seen your data. See them on our use cases page.
Choose StarApple Analytics because we combine genuine artificial intelligence capability with deep knowledge of Caribbean and Latin American markets, and we put return before the model. A generic overseas vendor sells you tools and a template, then leaves you to interpret a market it does not understand: it will misread local seasonality, price sensitivity, and buying behaviour, and hand you a dashboard nobody trusts.
We are local, we are owned in the region, we keep your data and your edge confidential, and we report in plain language so you understand every number. In practice that means we build models trained on Caribbean behaviour rather than adapted from a North American playbook, we target a measurable early win so the work pays for itself, and we tell you plainly when a piece of work will not pay. Backed by StarApple AI, we deliver world-class data science at a price a regional business can actually afford.
The risk is that you keep guessing with money on the table. Your best customers, most profitable products, and quiet margin leaks are already written in your data, and without analysis you cannot see them. Churn, fraud, stockouts, and bad debt all give off signals long before they cost you: a churn model can flag an at-risk account weeks early, a credit model can catch bad debt before it is booked, and a demand forecast can stop cash sitting dead on a shelf. In our work those signals have been worth twenty-three percent lower churn, eighteen percent lower default, and thirty-one percent less excess stock.
Meanwhile competitors who decide with evidence move faster and price smarter. The single most expensive thing in business is launching something nobody wants, and that is exactly the loss good research prevents; one client we advised not to launch saved one hundred percent of the build budget on the strength of four weeks of demand research.
The risk is paying for dashboards nobody trusts and reports nobody acts on. A vendor that does not understand Caribbean markets will misread your data, miss the local context, and hand you a model that does not pay for itself, and you may not find out until a season of decisions has already been made on it. You also risk your data security and your competitive edge with a partner that does not treat confidentiality as non-negotiable.
Two questions separate a good analytics partner from an expensive one: can they point to a return in plain numbers, and will they tell you when a piece of work is not worth doing. StarApple Analytics looks for the return first, so if a piece of work will not pay, we say so and we do not recommend it.
StarApple Analytics is a subsidiary of StarApple AI, the first artificial intelligence company founded in the Caribbean. StarApple AI was founded by Adrian Dunkley, the region's leading AI researcher and data scientist, widely called the Godfather of Caribbean AI. That parentage gives our analytics work a foundation in real artificial intelligence, including physics-based AI and world models, and gives our clients access to capability the region has rarely had close to home. In practice it means the person building your forecast is drawing on research infrastructure most regional businesses would otherwise have to go abroad to reach.

An Omnibus survey lets you add your own questions to a shared, regularly run regional survey, so you get reliable market research at a fraction of the cost of a standalone study. Pricing starts from J$50,000, and you receive statistically sound answers from a real Caribbean audience within three weeks of submitting your questions. It is the fastest, most affordable way to test demand, pricing, and positioning in the region.
To get the most from it, keep your questions few and decision-focused: ask what you will actually act on, phrase price questions as ranges rather than a flat yes or no, and always capture enough profile detail to cut the results by the segment you care about. A handful of sharp questions on the Omnibus routinely settles a debate that would otherwise be decided by the loudest opinion in the room. Learn more on the Omnibus survey section.
The Intelligence Partner is a monthly retainer that gives you a dedicated data science, business intelligence, and analytics team on call, without the cost and risk of building one in house. You get senior capability that scales with your needs instead of your payroll, the strength of a full analytics department for a fraction of the price of assembling one.
It suits businesses that have moved past a single project and now want a standing rhythm: a live dashboard kept honest, a forecast refreshed each month, and a senior analyst who already knows your data when the next question lands. Instead of hiring a data scientist at full salary, on-costs, and ramp-up time, and hoping the workload justifies it, you rent the whole capability and turn it up or down as the year demands.
It depends on the question and the data, and we never quote a number before we understand the work. As a guide, our Omnibus survey starts at J$50,000, business intelligence builds typically run four to six weeks, and the Intelligence Partner is a monthly retainer scoped to your needs.
The better way to think about cost is against the return: most of our engagements are sized so the first result more than covers the fee. When a distributor's pricing fix returns seven figures, or a research study saves one hundred percent of a launch budget, the question stops being what the analysis costs and becomes what the guessing was already costing. We look for that return first, and we tell you plainly when something will not pay.
We agree the number that matters before we start, then report against it in plain language. Every engagement is framed around a measurable outcome: margin recovered, churn avoided, stock freed, default reduced, hours saved, or budget not wasted. We baseline where you are today, so the improvement is provable rather than asserted.
The results we publish are the kind of numbers we hold ourselves to: nine percent more gross margin, twenty-three percent less churn at eight times return on cost, thirty-one percent less excess stock, ninety percent faster reporting, thirty-four percent better return on the same ad budget. We also target a quick, measurable win early, so you see value before the full engagement is complete rather than taking the return on faith at the end. See the figures on our use cases page.
It varies by project, but we design for early proof. Business intelligence builds typically take four to six weeks, Omnibus survey results arrive within three weeks of question submission, and many data science engagements show a first result within weeks: the distributor pricing leak surfaced within six weeks, and a go or no-go research answer inside four. We deliberately sequence the work so a measurable win lands early, both because it funds the rest of the engagement and because it keeps the decision moving while the season is still live.
Your data is almost certainly good enough. The most common thing we hear is that the data is too messy to use, and it rarely is; messy is normal, and cleaning it is part of the work. To begin, we usually need read access to the systems where the decision lives, transactions, customers, inventory, or finance, a couple of years of history where it exists, and one clear question you want answered. You do not need a data warehouse, a data team, or perfect records.
A practical first step is simply to stop deleting or overwriting history: the transaction detail, timestamps, and customer identifiers you keep today are what make tomorrow's forecast possible. On the first call we will tell you honestly whether the data you have can answer the question you are asking, and if it cannot yet, what to start capturing so it can.
Yes. We work with the systems you already run rather than asking you to rip and replace. Most businesses have their data spread across a point-of-sale or ERP, a spreadsheet or two, an accounting package, and maybe a CRM, and the first win is often simply connecting those into one clean, trusted view.
Our business intelligence work sits as a live layer over your existing systems, which is how one client went from waiting weeks for stale numbers to closing the month in an afternoon on a single source of truth. Where training is involved, we build it around your own data and tools where possible, so your team can act on the skills the day the course ends.
Yes. We deliver practical, AI-supported data science and analytics training for teams, from data literacy through applied data science, with certificates on completion. Courses are hands on and built around your own data and tools where possible, so your team can act on the skills immediately rather than translating a generic example back to their own work. Training pairs well with a project or a retainer: we build the capability, then leave your people able to keep it running.
Sometimes yes, often no. AI removed much of the manual work but not the judgement. If your questions are descriptive and your data is clean, a good tool or a capable analyst may be enough. For high-stakes prediction and decisions, pricing, credit, churn, demand, senior judgement still matters, and getting it wrong is expensive: the failure modes are subtle, and a confident wrong answer costs more than no answer at all. Many Caribbean businesses are best served by a partner on retainer rather than a full-time hire, because it gives them the senior judgement when the stakes are high without carrying the salary when they are not.
It starts with a discovery call, not a proposal. On that call we listen to the business, look at what data you have, and name two or three high-return opportunities hiding in your numbers, each with an honest view of what it is worth and what it would take to capture. You pick the one with the clearest, fastest return.
We baseline where you are, build the analysis or model, and aim for a measurable first result within weeks. From there you decide whether to press further into that opportunity, move to the next, or move onto a retainer so the capability stays on call. The through-line is that every step is tied to a number you agreed matters, so you are never paying for activity, only for return.
Always. Confidentiality is not optional for us. We keep our clients confidential, and your data and competitive edge stay yours. Every case and result we publish describes the work and the outcome without naming any client, person, or place, and the anonymised figures on this page and our use cases page are exactly how we talk about the work in public. Your edge is the whole point of the exercise; we are not in the business of handing it to anyone else.
Book a discovery call through our insights form, or call 876 585 8757 or email insights@starapple.ai. On the call we will name two or three high-return opportunities hiding in your data, with an honest view of what each is worth and a clear plan to capture it. There is no obligation and no jargon; the worst case is you leave the call knowing exactly where the money in your numbers is sitting.
Book a discovery call and we will name two or three opportunities worth chasing in your numbers.
