CML Insight, Inc

What CML Insight, Inc does

CML Insight, Inc. is a privately-held Austin, Texas-based SaaS company founded in 2021 that builds a Causal AI platform called CML+, combining proprietary causal machine learning algorithms (propensity score matching, robust matching, multi-outcome metrics) with LLM-powered conversational agents on a Kubernetes-based MLOps/LLMOps/AIOps architecture. The platform runs a 7-step deployment pipeline from Single Source of Truth data lake setup through Causal Insights discovery, peer-reviewed research curation, prototype application development, Kubernetes productionization, agent/UI refinement, and deployment, and is delivered through custom applications to organizations in education (e.g., Colorado State University, National University, UT Arlington, KidsReadNow), healthcare (historically Humana; PeaceHealth/NIH; Mcure Therapeutics), fintech (Americor, JG Wentworth), and water management (Carrizo Springs, Crystal City via the Agua Works AI sub-brand).

The company's underlying technology stack includes custom LLMs, multi-headed transformers for high-frequency ICU and longitudinal claims data, hybrid digital twins for clinical trial simulation, CNN/autoencoder-based time-series compression, anomaly detection for utility assets, and an ADLC (AI Development Life Cycle) framework for continuous agent improvement. Data and application platforms are built on Google Cloud with HIPAA, FERPA, and GDPR compliance, enabling regulated enterprise procurement.

CML Insight generates revenue through a hybrid subscription plus professional services model. SaaS subscriptions (including Agua Works AI monthly/annual plans) provide recurring revenue, while custom causal AI deployments sold through a 'Talk to an Expert' enterprise sales motion layer on implementation, data lake setup, MLOps deployment, and ongoing application development. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated per engagement, consistent with the company's mid-market to enterprise customer profile across its four primary verticals. The team is remote-first across the US and Sri Lanka with 11-50 employees, and is led by founder/CEO David Kil (former Chief Data Scientist at Humana and Civitas Learning) and co-founder/CTO Daya Wimalasuriya (PhD, University of Oregon).
