Advisory • Knowledge engineering • AI tools

See beyond connections.

Meta‑Connexions helps organisations make sense of complex, high‑volume data and turn weak signals into confident decisions. We design and build pragmatic, explainable tools — from knowledge graphs to intelligent agents — to support innovation in science and business.

Punchline: “Anticipate and understand the shifts of a changing world.”

Core capabilities

  • Innovation project development & strategic due diligence
  • Knowledge engineering & data architecture (ontologies, graphs)
  • AI & data‑analysis tools (from prototype to production)
  • Decision‑support systems & intelligent agents
  • Research & studies for atypical or complex projects

What we do

Tailored, self‑contained solutions that are fast to operate and easy to maintain.

Knowledge Engineering

Designing data models and semantic layers that reflect how your business thinks.

  • Ontologies & taxonomies
  • Knowledge graphs & entity resolution
  • Traceability and provenance by design

AI & Analytics

From signal detection to decision support with auditable methods.

  • Weak‑signal detection & trend analysis
  • Explainable models, not black boxes
  • Lean prototypes that scale when needed

Agents & Tools

Human‑in‑the‑loop tools to augment analysis and operations.

  • Intelligent agents for monitoring & curation
  • Dashboards & lightweight data apps
  • APIs and integration with your stack

Approach

Flexible, transparent, and collaborative.

How we work

  • Full visibility on work‑in‑progress and scope that adapts as we learn.
  • Co‑design with your domain experts; short feedback cycles.
  • Preference for simple, robust, self‑contained solutions.
  • Documentation and knowledge transfer baked in.

Academic & expert network

When needed, we connect your project to specialists from research labs:

  • IRIT (Toulouse) & LIP6 (Paris): computer science & AI
  • CLLE‑LTC: cognitive psychology, language & ergonomics
  • GREMAQ (UT1 Capitole): quantitative methods

These collaborations are activated on demand to accelerate specific questions.

Selected clients & use‑cases

CNES (French Space Agency)

Long‑term data consultancy: methods, tooling and analysis for complex datasets.

Orange

Founder

Meta‑Connexions was founded in 2006 and is led by consultant‑researcher Michaël Vaillant.

Michaël builds bridges between research and practice. His work focuses on pragmatic, explainable AI and knowledge engineering to support decision‑making in complex environments. He has worked with CNES for many years as a data consultant and frequently operates at the edge of innovation where flexible design and scientific rigor are both essential.

  • 20+ years crafting data methods and tools, from investigations to production systems
  • Strong bias toward simplicity, speed, and self‑contained solutions
  • Comfort working solo or assembling ad‑hoc expert teams
