Pipelines, forecasting, reporting.

Three specialisms that most engagements are built from, and two more lines for when the job needs senior judgement on a standing basis or a second read of generated code. Most clients use more than one.

  1. Data pipelines and automation

    The build most engagements start with.

    Data pipelines in dbt, migrations with reconciliation, and integrations across Microsoft 365, Salesforce, Genesys Cloud and more, so a process runs unattended.

    Engagement

    Fixed scope with an end point: a migration, an integration, a pipeline. Then a short retained period while your team takes it over.

  2. Forecasting and capacity planning

    The most demanding thing a pipeline feeds.

    Demand, capacity and workforce forecasting for operations that roster against it, with the pipelines and reporting that turn a forecast into a plan.

    Engagement

    A fixed-scope build of the models and pipeline, then a retained arrangement through the first planning cycles, so the person who built the forecast is the one reviewing it.

  3. Reporting and dashboards

    The numbers leadership reads, built to be trusted.

    Reporting leadership runs on, in Power BI, Tableau, Streamlit or a custom build: models that reconcile and dashboards built with the people who use them.

    Engagement

    Fixed scope for a defined set of reports and the model beneath them, then a short retained period while your team takes ownership. Often the final stage of a pipeline or forecasting build.

    Reporting in detail

When the job needs more.

  1. Advisory and embedded leadership

    Retained or embedded senior data capacity for teams that need experience rather than headcount: model review, analyst mentoring and operational planning.

    Advisory in detail
  2. AI code and output review

    Independent review of AI-generated SQL, Python and R before it reaches production or a decision. Fluent enough to use it, sceptical enough to catch errors.
