Services
Senior data expertise, scoped to what you actually need.
We work with small and growing businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets but don't yet need, or can't yet justify, a full-time data leader.

Analytics & BI
We give your teams one version of the truth and dashboards they actually open.

- Leadership and operational dashboards
- Sales and customer reporting: pipeline, retention and expansion
- Dashboard cleanup and consolidation
- Data quality checks, monitoring and alerting
- Self-service enablement and training
Build vs. Buy
AI makes it possible to build almost anything. We help you decide what's actually worth building.
An in-house tool can be prototyped in a weekend, but someone has to own it for years. That means maintenance, security patches, access control, and a single point of failure if the person who built it leaves. Sometimes building is the right call; often a proven product is cheaper and safer. We give you an independent recommendation, because we don't resell tools or take vendor commissions.
Fixed-fee evaluation · 1–2 weeks
What we weigh
- Total cost of ownership over 3 years, not just the build
- Ongoing maintenance and who will own it
- Security, data privacy and compliance risk
- How well it fits your stack and your team's skills
- Vendor lock-in, pricing changes and exit options
What you get
- A requirements summary in plain business language
- A shortlist and comparison of vendors, if buying makes sense
- A decision memo with a clear recommendation and its tradeoffs
