For fast-growing companies under pressure to perform. We own delivery end to end, and base every decision on intelligence and science.
Data is a science. Much of data transformation is performance: vendor talks, slide decks promising data heaven, roadmaps nobody delivers.
We are senior, hands-on people. We make the change our mandate covers, and you can check our intelligence systems at any time. Live. No filters. We ship.
A gazelle is a small or mid-size company growing fast. We work with gazelles in three situations, and in each one we are on the company's side.
What you needYour data in order, fast, so you can defend the business.
Talk to us about investor pressure →What you needReporting the owners believe, and a data team that can keep up.
Talk to us about life after the deal →What you needOne integrated business, with the costs under control.
Talk to us about integration →"Data leaders are surgeons operating on a live body. In most repeat operations, a lot of the outcome has already been decided."
António Rocha, CEO, coach to data leaders
No wonder most data leaders don't last. This way, companies never become data driven, let alone intelligence driven. Something needs to change, and we would rather build the change.
Every company wants to use AI safely and at scale, without slowing new ideas down. Data governance is the work of keeping data documented, accurate and safe to use. A governance team of any size still spends most of its week on work that repeats: cataloguing, quality checks, tracing where data comes from, impact assessments, vendor reviews. That is the work that keeps AI waiting.
You don't need more governance people. You need the repeatable half of their week handed to something that doesn't sleep.
Agents are software that carries out tasks on its own. The human expert owns the 20% that needs judgment and accountability. The agents run the other 80%: deployed, documented and yours to keep.
You run data governance and want the repeatable work off your team's desk.
Hand over the repeatable work →Most consultancies scope first and learn about you later. We do it the other way round, and the understanding is a paid stage of its own.
Use the contact for your situation below. We reply and set up a first conversation.
The first paid stage. It is short, fixed and agreed up front.
An intelligence investigation on your company from public sources: its market, its finances, its people, its competitors and the pressures on it.
We talk to your people and look at what the outside cannot show, to take the picture deeper.
Our report, plus the vault behind it: a file of every fact, its source and its date that software can read too. It's yours to keep, whatever happens next.
We scope the delivery only once our understanding of you is strong. If it isn't strong within the agreed time, we wish you well and leave.
From here we deliver end to end, and you watch the work live.
