You have data everywhere.
Nowhere useful.
A proper data platform, without hiring a data team. We design and build end-to-end on GCP — from raw ingestion to the dashboards your team opens every morning. Fixed price. Senior engineer on every project. Documented handover so you own it when we leave.
What brings most clients here.
What we build, end to end.
Sources
Warehouse
Orchestration
Each layer chosen based on your data volume, team skill, and budget — not on which vendor pays partner commissions.
Three layers. All three done right.
Automated Data Pipelines
We connect your data sources — databases, APIs, SaaS tools — using Airbyte or Fivetran depending on cost and reliability needs. Data lands in BigQuery on a reliable schedule, with monitoring and alerts when something breaks.
Data Architecture & Modeling
Raw data is cleaned, modeled, and documented in Dataform or dbt. Staging, intermediate, and reporting layers. Data quality tests built in from the start so issues surface before they hit dashboards.
Dashboards, Reports & AI-ready
We connect the BI tool that fits your team — Looker, Lightdash, Metabase, or Steep — and build the dashboards that matter. The platform underneath is designed so that when you're ready to add AI features, the foundation is already there.
The tools we reach for.
Every implementation uses some combination of these. The mix depends on your data sources, team, and budget — we explain the tradeoffs before we pick.
How an implementation runs.
Kickoff & alignment (1 week)
Once the proposal is signed: environment access, team alignment, deep-dive on sources and constraints. We finalize the build plan.
Build (6–10 weeks, bi-weekly demos)
We lead the technical work. Your team joins reviews and decisions, and can take on small parts when it makes sense. Weekly updates, demos every two weeks, no daily standups.
Handover (1–2 weeks)
Training sessions, full documentation, recorded walkthroughs. Your team owns it when we leave — not in theory, in practice.
Post-launch support (30 days, included)
You have questions, small tweaks, an unexpected edge case. We're reachable for 30 days after handover at no extra cost.
Pricing.
Most projects land in this range. We quote a fixed price after the scoping call — no hourly billing, no change orders without your approval.
What affects the price
| Factor | Lower price | Higher price |
|---|---|---|
| Number of data sources | 2–3 simple sources | 6–10 mixed sources |
| Transformation complexity | Standard model | Complex business logic |
| BI tool | Steep / Lightdash | Looker with LookML |
| Orchestration needs | None needed | Dagster-based workflow |
Example scenarios
Startup with Postgres, Stripe, and HubSpot. Lightdash for dashboards.
Scale-up with product databases, marketing APIs, and finance tools. Looker with LookML.
E-commerce business with Shopify, advertising platforms (Meta, Google), and finance tools. Dataform + Steep for the ops team.
Payment
50% at project start · 30% at the mid-project milestone · 20% on final handover. Fixed price. No change orders without a signed amendment.
After we're gone.
Most clients take the platform and run it themselves — that's the goal. Some prefer a safety net: monthly retainers for monitoring, improvements, and a senior on call.
