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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
Data Environment
- We map your data landscape: where it lives, how it flows between systems, and whether those systems can be joined together reliably.
- Output: Data System Map and Joinability Assessment
Data Integrity
- We assess the quality and completeness of your data and review how reporting is currently produced, identifying where the risk and the gaps are.
- Output: Data Quality and Risk Report
Data Governance
- We establish who owns what, set data entry standards, and produce a clear roadmap for fixing the issues we find.
- Output: Remediation and Governance Roadmap
KPI Insight and Design
- We align your KPI framework to your business strategy, map each KPI to its data source, and confirm what is actually feasible to measure reliably.
- Output: KPI Bible and Feasibility Matrix
Dashboard and Visualisation
- We produce visual dashboard mock-ups, an analytics roadmap for what comes next, and a full handover pack.
- Output: Dashboard Mock-Up and Analytics Roadmap
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.
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 is up to two weeks. A full five-module engagement therefore runs up to ten weeks, though modules can be sequenced to suit your business's availability and priorities.
What does it cost?
Each module is priced individually on our pricing page, with discounts applied when you select multiple modules. See our pricing page for details.
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.
