Title: Formulation to Frontline – Taking Models to Production

Summary:
A strong formulation is just the beginning. Translating it into a practical, user-facing tool requires a keen understanding of both user needs and business goals. This talk will share real-world examples of the challenges faced, and the trade-offs made to encourage adoption. It will also highlight the key architectural choices that allowed our models to scale sustainably.
