What we build
Expert guidance for hard decisions.
Technical due diligence
Evaluating a data platform for M&A? Assessing a vendor's claims? We do deep technical reviews of data systems, architectures, and team capabilities. Honest assessment, not sales pitch.
Team structure advisory
How many data engineers do you need? Should you centralize or embed? Platform team or data mesh? We design org structures that match your data maturity and business goals.
Vendor evaluation
Snowflake vs. Databricks. Airflow vs. Dagster. Fivetran vs. Airbyte. We run structured evaluations against your actual requirements — not feature checklists, but production-readiness assessments.
Performance audit
Slow queries, expensive jobs, underutilized clusters. We audit your data platform performance and deliver specific optimizations — typically reducing costs 30-50% while improving speed.
Security & compliance review
PII exposure, access control gaps, encryption shortfalls. We review your data security posture against SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA, and industry standards. Findings with prioritized remediation plan.
Fractional CDO / Head of Data
Need senior data leadership but not ready for a full-time hire? We provide part-time data executives who set strategy, build teams, and establish practices — until you're ready to hire permanently.
Sound familiar?
Consulting problems we solve every week.
“We're about to sign a $500K platform contract and we're not sure it's the right choice.”
We run a structured vendor evaluation in 2 weeks. Your actual workloads, your data volumes, your team skills. We'll tell you which platform fits — and which one the sales team is overselling.
“We hired 5 data engineers but velocity hasn't improved.”
We audit your team structure, processes, and tooling. Usually the problem isn't people — it's unclear ownership, too much context-switching, or missing platform capabilities. We redesign for velocity.
“Our CTO wants to adopt data mesh but our team has 3 people.”
We help you separate the valuable principles (domain ownership, data as product) from the organizational overhead. You get a pragmatic roadmap that scales governance with your team — not ahead of it.
