Why work with us

Built by operators, run like a product

01

Operators first

We ran supply chain, commercial and performance functions before we built the systems for them. We know which number the room is actually arguing about.

02

End to end

From the board-level roadmap to the pipeline, the dashboard, the agent and the on-call rota. One team, no hand-off gap.

03

Modern platform specialists

Google Cloud and BigQuery, Python, Claude API and Make.com. Proven stacks, not experiments.

04

Production-grade and secure

Monitoring, data-health checks, role-based access, cost alerts and compliance ship with the first release, not after.

05

Transparent and collaborative

Weekly releases, an open backlog and your people in the room. You see the work as it happens, not at the end.

06

Enablement built in

Documentation, training and handover are part of every engagement, so the capability stays with you when we step back.

How we deliver

Six steps, weekly releases, no big-bang launch

  1. 01

    Assessment

    1–3 weeks

    We start with your business goals, your data landscape and the decisions that are not working. Output: a decision map and a prioritised list of what to fix first.

  2. 02

    Tailored design

    1–2 weeks

    No two companies have the same systems or constraints. We design the solution around your infrastructure, your team and your budget, and sequence it into a roadmap with owners.

  3. 03

    Agile build

    weekly releases

    Platform, pipelines, reports and agents are built in the open with your team and released every week. Feedback changes the next release, not the next quarter.

  4. 04

    Standards and security

    every release

    Access control, data-quality checks, monitoring, cost alerts and documentation are part of the definition of done, aligned with GDPR and good engineering practice.

  5. 05

    Continuous optimisation

    ongoing

    We measure adoption and impact, tune what is used, retire what is not and extend what pays back. Systems stay fast, correct and cheap to run.

  6. 06

    Knowledge transfer

    throughout

    Training, runbooks and documentation accompany every delivery, so your team can run the systems with us, or without us.

01

Data & AI strategy and roadmap

Use-case prioritisation, investment roadmap, KPI standards and governance, agreed with the leadership team.

The problem

The board wants AI, the teams want dashboards, and nobody has written down which decisions should get better. Money goes to pilots that never reach production.

What we deliver

We run discovery with your leadership team, map decisions to data, score use cases on P&L impact and feasibility, and write a roadmap with owners, budgets and sequencing you can take to the board.

Outputs

  • Decision and KPI map with owners
  • Scored use-case portfolio
  • 12-month roadmap with budget and sequencing
  • Data governance and access model
  • Build / buy / partner recommendations

Who it is for

CEOs, CFOs, COOs and heads of function in companies of 20 to 2,000 people.

Typical timeline

4 to 6 weeks for discovery and roadmap. Fractional advisory afterwards if wanted.

02

Data engineering and platform build

Reliable pipelines and a cloud data platform that brings every source, cloud or on-premises, into one governed warehouse.

The problem

Reports live in spreadsheets and people's heads. Every number has three versions. Nobody trusts the dashboard enough to act on it.

What we deliver

We build the platform end to end: ingestion from ERP, e-commerce, CRM and operational systems, modelled tables with documented KPIs, pipelines that monitor themselves, access by role, and cost alerts. Then we hand it over with the runbooks, or keep running it.

Outputs

  • BigQuery warehouse with documented semantic layer
  • Automated ETL/ELT pipelines with freshness and quality checks
  • Integration of cloud and on-premises sources
  • Role-based access and data ownership model
  • Cost budget and alerting

Who it is for

Companies with several operational systems and no single source of truth. Retail, logistics, e-commerce, SaaS.

Typical timeline

8 to 12 weeks to a platform in production. Weekly releases from week two.

03

Analytics, reporting and performance intelligence

KPI design, executive reporting and the decision frameworks that turn numbers into weekly actions.

The problem

Dashboards multiply, definitions drift, and the leadership meeting still runs on a spreadsheet someone updated by hand the night before.

What we deliver

We define the KPIs with their owners, build the reporting layer on top of the governed warehouse, and design the operating rhythm around it: what is reviewed weekly, by whom, with what threshold. Dashboards where they help, scheduled briefs where they help more.

Outputs

  • KPI dictionary with owners, definitions and thresholds
  • Executive and operational dashboards
  • Scheduled performance briefs in plain language
  • Pricing, margin and inventory analytics
  • Decision frameworks for weekly performance reviews

Who it is for

Heads of operations, supply chain, commercial and finance who own a number and need to move it.

Typical timeline

First reporting layer in 3 to 5 weeks on an existing platform.

04

AI agents and automation

Agents that detect signals and push insights to the people who act on them, with evaluation and human-in-the-loop controls.

The problem

Dashboards exist and nobody opens them. Insights arrive in the Monday meeting, a week after the margin moved.

What we deliver

We design and ship agents that watch the data, detect what matters, explain it in plain language and deliver it where people already are. Each agent has an owner, an evaluation suite and an escalation path. We have replaced dashboard tracking with proactive signals and reached full adoption doing it.

Outputs

  • Signal-detection agents for pricing, margin, inventory, performance
  • Scheduled executive briefs in plain language
  • Workflow automation with Claude API and Make.com
  • Evaluation, monitoring and human review controls
  • Predictive models for pricing and anomaly detection

Who it is for

Companies with a data platform in place, or built with us, who want insights to find people instead of the other way round.

Typical timeline

First agent in production in 3 to 4 weeks. Portfolio grows from there.

05

Data governance and compliance

Ownership, access control, quality rules and documentation so your data stays accurate, secure and GDPR-ready.

The problem

Everyone can see everything, nobody owns anything, and the first GDPR request or audit turns into a two-week scramble.

What we deliver

We set up the operating model for data: who owns which dataset, who may see what, how quality is measured and what happens when it slips. Access by role, documented lineage, retention rules, and the evidence an auditor asks for, ready before they ask.

Outputs

  • Data ownership and stewardship model
  • Role-based access control across warehouse and BI
  • Data quality rules with automated checks and alerts
  • Documentation, lineage and retention policies
  • GDPR-aligned processes for access, erasure and consent

Who it is for

Companies handling customer or employee data at scale, or preparing for an audit, investment or exit.

Typical timeline

4 to 8 weeks for the model and controls, then continuous.

06

Team enablement and fractional leadership

A fractional Head of Data, training for your analysts and engineers, and a handover that leaves the capability with you.

The problem

You do not yet need a full-time data leader, but without one the roadmap stalls, hires go wrong and vendors run the agenda.

What we deliver

We take the seat part-time: own the roadmap, run the data team or the vendors, hire and coach, and report to the leadership team. In parallel we train your people on the platform and the tools, and document everything so the capability stays when we step back.

Outputs

  • Fractional Head of Data / AI, one to two days a week
  • Hiring support and onboarding of data roles
  • Hands-on training: BigQuery, SQL, dashboards, AI workflows
  • Runbooks, documentation and knowledge transfer
  • Coaching for analysts and managers who own KPIs

Who it is for

Companies of 20 to 500 people building their first data function, or bridging a leadership gap.

Typical timeline

Typically 6 to 18 months, scaling down as your team scales up.
