Services
A low-risk way in, and a clear path to lasting results.
Every engagement starts with a fixed-fee assessment. From there, most clients move into focused build work and an ongoing retainer — at a pace and price set up front.
The Assessment
Fixed fee · 1–3 weeks · on-site
A paid diagnostic that pays for itself. We embed with your team, map the system in the room, and leave you with a decision-grade report — yours to keep whether or not we continue.
What you get
- Cloud cost breakdown with ranked savings (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
- Data pipeline & reliability audit (failure modes, gaps, risk)
- AI-readiness review of your data foundation
- Prioritized roadmap with effort/impact scoring
- A working session to walk leadership through findings
The Build
Fixed-scope project
We execute the roadmap's highest-value work. Scope is fixed and priced up front — no open-ended hourly meters.
What you get
- Cloud cost re-architecture and spending guardrails
- Pipeline rebuilds with observability and alerting
- Compliant data foundations (HIPAA / BAA-aware)
- Infrastructure-as-code so the gains are durable
- Documentation and handoff your team can own
The Retainer
Monthly · ongoing
Stay ahead of drift and keep senior judgment on call. Two common shapes: managed practice, or fractional leadership.
What you get
- Managed FinOps: continuous cost guardrails & reviews
- Data reliability on call: monitoring, triage, fixes
- Fractional data leadership: strategy + hands-on, 1–3 days/week
- Roadmap ownership and quarterly business reviews
- A trusted technical voice in the room with your stakeholders
Capabilities
Four disciplines, one engineer accountable for the outcome.
FinOps & cloud cost optimization
Find the waste, fix the architecture, and install the guardrails so it stays fixed. Multi-cloud across AWS, Azure, and GCP — grounded in real engineering, not dashboards alone.
Data engineering
Revenue-critical pipelines built and hardened by someone who has run them in production at scale — with observability, testing, and reliability designed in.
AI / ML enablement
Most AI projects stall at the data-foundation layer, not the model. We close that gap so pilots can actually reach production and prove value.
Fractional data leadership
Strategy and hands-on delivery for teams that need senior data leadership but aren't ready for a full-time executive hire.
How we price
Value-based and transparent — never an open hourly meter.
Assessments are a fixed fee. Build work is fixed-scope and priced up front. Retainers are a flat monthly rate. You always know what an engagement costs before it starts — and what outcome it's tied to.
