What we build
  • Full dbt model layer — ARR, retention, product usage, sales pipeline, expansion
  • Lineage-aware change-management pipeline with pre-merge impact scoring
  • Governed semantic layer with role-based access + policy controls
  • Analyst dashboards (Looker / Metabase / Mode / Tableau — your BI tool)
  • Custom visualization layer — cohort grids, funnels, retention heatmaps, KPI strips
  • CI integration that flags downstream BI dashboards before a PR lands
  • Runbooks, enablement session, 30-day post-handoff office hours

Two tech tracks.

Track A — Custom

Hand-engineered

Senior data engineering on keyboard for the duration. Every model written, reviewed, and tested by humans. Best when audit and regulated-compliance demands matter, or when the stack contains legacy R/SAS workloads that need careful translation.

Best fit: regulated · audit-heavy · legacy migration
Track B — Express

AI-assisted build

Streamlined delivery using accelerated internal tooling for model porting, dashboard scaffolding, and semantic-layer drafting. Senior data engineering reviews and hardens everything before merge. Same governed deliverables as Track A, faster path.

Best fit: SaaS · modern cloud · time-to-value

Pricing — two ways.

One-quarter handoff

Scoped build, full handoff

From $41,000 starting from Track A — Custom
$27,000 · Track B — Express

Full stack delivered, ported into your warehouse + BI tool, lineage gates wired. Your team owns it on day 91.

Subscription maintenance

Ongoing managed stack

$2,900 / month
Begins after handoff. 12-month minimum.

Stack + ongoing model updates, BI adapter upgrades, semantic-layer refreshes, monthly metric reviews. We keep the layer current as your business shape changes.

All engagements include a scoped SOW with a defined day-91 milestone. Subscription is optional — and cancellable annually.

One or two of these a year is the company.

If your team is ready to ship a governed metrics layer in a quarter — not a year — book a 30-min architecture session.
