Bakken & Bæck
The technically minded studio for London teams building products where design, software engineering, and machine learning meet.
Fit for this rating
Best for: new digital products and AI features that need design and engineering decisions made together
Not the right fit for: a procurement-heavy transformation requiring a large London delivery organisation
Bakken & Bæck is a European product studio with a London presence and an in-house machine-learning practice. Its Sierra case provides useful evidence of AI product delivery rather than an AI label attached to conventional interface work.
Five dimension scores
Product and technology fit
The studio belongs high on a shortlist when product risk is tied to the technology itself. Designers and engineers can work through model behaviour, interaction patterns, and implementation constraints without treating engineering as a later handoff.
The public record is lighter on large UK research programmes. A buyer should ask how discovery, accessibility, and ongoing operational ownership will be staffed alongside the technical build.
Rating history
Initial London rating at 8.4. Technical product depth is excellent; UK research documentation is thinner.
