Data Foundations

Your data is fragmented, inconsistent, and holding your business back. Let's fix that.

Data Foundations is a structured, modular engagement that maps your data environment, fixes fragmented processes, and builds the trusted foundations your business needs for better decisions now, and scalable analytics later.

Who this is for

If this sounds like you, keep reading.

We work with businesses who know their data should be more reliable, but right now nobody's quite sure where it all lives, whether it's accurate, or what good even looks like.

01
Data hasn't kept pace

Your business has grown quickly and the data has not kept pace. Reports are built differently by different people, the numbers don't always agree, and nobody fully trusts what lands in the boardroom.

02
Systems don't talk

You've invested in systems across sales, marketing, finance, and CRM but they don't talk to each other. Getting a joined-up view of the business means someone manually stitching it together every month.

03
Not ready to build yet

You know you need better analytics and reporting, but you're not ready to commit to a full platform yet. Before you build anything, you want to understand what you're actually working with.

What’s inside

5 fixed-scope modules.

Each module is a self-contained engagement with a fixed fee, a fixed timeline, and a documented hand-over. Run them standalone or stack them.

  1. Data Environment: view details

    Ask which system a figure lives in and the answer depends on who you ask. Sales, marketing, finance and CRM each hold a piece of the picture, and nobody is sure the pieces can be joined reliably.

  2. Data Integrity: view details

    Meetings that open with an argument over whether the report is right never reach the decision. Behind the doubt sit data of unknown quality and reports rebuilt by hand, with no clear picture of where the risk is.

  3. Data Governance: view details

    Different people enter and report on data in their own way, and no named person is accountable for putting it right. Ownership is fragmented, and nothing sets a standard for how data goes in.

  4. KPI Insight and Design: view details

    Teams define the same KPI differently, and some KPIs rest on data that cannot reliably support them. The business ends up with targets that carry little trust and a strategy it cannot track with confidence.

  5. Dashboard and Visualisation: view details

    You know the reporting needs to improve, but you cannot commit to a build you have not seen. With no visual target and no plan for what follows, there is nothing to aim at.

Data Environment

Scope

We map your data landscape: where your data lives, and how it flows between your systems. We then assess whether those systems can be joined together reliably, and say plainly which can and which cannot. Your team gives us system access and answers. We do the work.

Deliverables
  • Data System Map shows where your data lives and how it flows between systems
  • Joinability Assessment says which systems can be joined together reliably
What changes

Pick any reported figure and your team can name the system it starts in and how it moves between systems. Any plan to connect those systems is built on an assessment of which joins will hold.

Every module includes
  • Agreed scope Scope agreed in writing before work starts.
  • Documented handover Documented deliverable + read-out to your leadership team.
  • Named senior lead A named senior lead on every engagement.
  • 30-day support 30-day post-engagement handover support included.
Timeline

Each module runs to a fixed timeline, agreed with you before it starts.

Data Integrity

Scope

We assess the quality and completeness of your data: what is missing, what is inconsistent and what cannot be relied on. We also review how your reporting is produced today. Together the two show where the risk and the gaps are, whether in the data itself or in the way the reports are made.

Deliverables
  • Data Quality and Risk Report shows where your data falls short and where reporting carries risk
What changes

Doubt about a report now has a written answer. You can see which data is incomplete or unreliable and where the way reports are made carries risk, so the meeting can move on to the decision.

Every module includes
  • Agreed scope Scope agreed in writing before work starts.
  • Documented handover Documented deliverable + read-out to your leadership team.
  • Named senior lead A named senior lead on every engagement.
  • 30-day support 30-day post-engagement handover support included.
Timeline

Each module runs to a fixed timeline, agreed with you before it starts.

Data Governance

Scope

We establish who owns what, so each area of your data has a named owner. We set data entry standards, so information goes in the same way every time. Then we turn the issues we find into a clear roadmap for fixing them. The roadmap covers both remediation and governance, and we walk your team through it.

Deliverables
  • Remediation and Governance Roadmap the plan for fixing the issues we find, and for governing your data
What changes

When a figure looks wrong, you know who to call. Each area of data has a named owner, data entry standards are set, and the roadmap shows how the existing problems get fixed.

Every module includes
  • Agreed scope Scope agreed in writing before work starts.
  • Documented handover Documented deliverable + read-out to your leadership team.
  • Named senior lead A named senior lead on every engagement.
  • 30-day support 30-day post-engagement handover support included.
Timeline

Each module runs to a fixed timeline, agreed with you before it starts.

KPI Insight and Design

Scope

We align your KPI framework to your business strategy, so each KPI has a reason to be there. We map each KPI to the data source behind it, then confirm what is actually feasible to measure reliably. Where a KPI cannot be supported by your data yet, the Feasibility Matrix says so.

Deliverables
  • KPI Bible your agreed KPIs, aligned to your business strategy
  • Feasibility Matrix which KPIs can be measured reliably, and which cannot yet
What changes

Your leadership team can point to the KPIs that matter to your strategy, see which data source feeds each, and tell which are not yet reliable to measure. The Feasibility Matrix records which is which.

Every module includes
  • Agreed scope Scope agreed in writing before work starts.
  • Documented handover Documented deliverable + read-out to your leadership team.
  • Named senior lead A named senior lead on every engagement.
  • 30-day support 30-day post-engagement handover support included.
Timeline

Each module runs to a fixed timeline, agreed with you before it starts.

Dashboard and Visualisation

Scope

We produce visual dashboard mock-ups that show how your reporting would look on screen, and an analytics roadmap for what comes next. We also produce a full handover pack. The dashboards are mock-ups, not live builds: they show what good looks like before anything is built.

Deliverables
  • Dashboard Mock-Up a visual of your reporting to build toward
  • Analytics Roadmap what comes next in your analytics
What changes

The people who will use the reports get something to react to before any build begins: a mock-up of the dashboards. The analytics roadmap then names the next steps.

Every module includes
  • Agreed scope Scope agreed in writing before work starts.
  • Documented handover Documented deliverable + read-out to your leadership team.
  • Named senior lead A named senior lead on every engagement.
  • 30-day support 30-day post-engagement handover support included.

How it works

Each module is scoped, delivered, and handed over to you.

01

Scope

We agree the focus, timeline, and expected output for your selected module before any work begins. No surprises.

02

Deliver

Our senior team works through the module, engaging your team where we need to, and keeping that ask as light as possible.

03

Hand over

Every module ends with a named deliverable, walked through with your team, and yours to keep and act on.

What changes

What your business looks like on the other side.

Data Foundations is not a report that sits in a drawer. Every module produces something your business can act on immediately.

A clear understanding of your entire data environment, no more guessing where things live.

KPIs that are trusted, agreed, and aligned to your actual business strategy.

Lower reporting risk: less manual work, fewer errors, and numbers no one questions in the room.

Faster access to reliable insight, without waiting for someone to rebuild a spreadsheet.

Data foundations that are ready for advanced analytics and AI, when you need them.

Common questions

The questions we hear most.

Do we have to use all five modules?

No. Each module is independently scoped and priced. You can start with one, add more as you need them, or use all five as a complete engagement. If you are not sure where to start, we will help you work that out in an initial conversation.

How long does the full engagement take?

Each module runs to a fixed timeline, agreed with you before it starts. Modules can be taken alone or as a set, and sequenced to suit your business's availability and priorities.

What does it cost?

Each module is scoped and priced on its own, with a discount when you take several together. Contact us for pricing.

Will this disrupt our team?

We keep the ask on your team as light as possible. You will need to make the right people available to answer questions and provide access to systems, but we do the work. Most clients find the engagement less disruptive than they expected.

What happens after Data Foundations?

That depends on what you need. The outputs are designed to stand alone and be immediately actionable. For businesses that want to move towards automated, connected reporting, the Analytics Platform is a natural next step, and having completed Data Foundations makes that transition significantly smoother.

Is Data Foundations right for us, or should we go straight to the Analytics Platform?

If your data is fragmented, inconsistent, or untrusted, Data Foundations is almost always the right starting point. If your data is reasonably clean and you just need it connected and automated, the Analytics Platform may be the right move directly. We will tell you honestly which one fits after an initial conversation.
