Strategy Before Spend

Most organisations do not have a data problem. They have an unclear-priorities problem wearing a data problem as a disguise. Teams buy a warehouse before knowing what questions it should answer, or commission a model on data that was never going to support it.

We start by mapping what you actually hold: sources, ownership, quality, freshness, and the decisions that currently depend on each. That map usually reveals that the highest-value work is smaller and duller than expected — and considerably more achievable.

We are deliberately vendor-neutral. We do not resell licences and take no commission from platform vendors, so when we recommend a tool it is because it fits your team and budget. Sometimes the honest recommendation is that your existing stack is fine and the problem is process.

Service Inclusions

Data Estate Audit

Complete inventory of sources, ownership, quality, and freshness — including the shadow spreadsheets everyone actually uses.

Opportunity Scoring

Every candidate use case scored on business impact, data readiness, and delivery effort, so prioritisation is evidence-based.

Reference Architecture

A target-state design with a migration path, sized to your team rather than an idealised org chart.

Build-vs-Buy Analysis

Honest total-cost comparison across managed platforms and in-house builds, including the maintenance cost nobody budgets for.

Governance Readiness

Assessment against GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, or SOC 2 obligations, with the gaps that need closing before scaling.

Team & Skills Review

What your current team can operate and maintain, and where hiring or training genuinely changes what is possible.

The Challenge

Leadership had approved budget for a data lake without a clear view of which decisions it would improve. Three competing internal proposals were on the table.

The Solution

We ran a three-week assessment covering 14 source systems, interviewed 20 stakeholders, and scored 11 candidate use cases. Two of the three proposals addressed problems that were process issues rather than data issues.
