Sounds familiar?

Your company has plenty of data. What it’s missing is a design.

This is rarely a tooling problem. You can buy the best warehouse on the market and still get five answers to the same question, because nobody modeled what the question means.

Same word, five numbers

“Revenue” in finance isn’t “revenue” in sales. Every dashboard has its own version, and every meeting starts with an argument about which one is right.

Pipelines held together with duct tape

Scripts nobody owns, jobs that fail silently, and a weekly ritual of fixing last week’s loads before anyone notices.

History that quietly changes

A customer moves region or a product changes category, and last year’s reports change with it. Nothing is reproducible, nothing is auditable.

A platform that grew by accident

A warehouse here, a lake there, a few tools on top. The cloud bill keeps growing and nobody can draw the whole picture on one page.

Tools don’t fix this. Architecture does. And no, AI won’t fix it either: AI can’t fix chaos, it needs structure.

Our approach

Let’s be honest: most data projects start with a tool and end with a mess. We start at the other end.

First, how your business works and what it needs to know. Then the model that makes each answer true everywhere: one customer, one order, one revenue, across every system and every report. Only then the tools and the pipelines, built together with your team so the knowledge stays in-house.

What you have

  • crm.contacts_v2_final
  • erp.TB_CLI_001
  • billing.customers (3 sources)
  • revenue_FINAL(2).xlsx
  • “Revenue” dashboard × 5 versions

What you get

  • dim_customer · one customer, every system
  • fact_sales · grain: order line
  • hub_customer + sat_* · full history
  • net_revenue · one definition
  • lineage & tests on every table
The model is the product

Real data warehousing, modeled across your whole company.

We use proven modeling techniques, picked for the problem rather than for fashion, and often combined in layers.

Dimensional modeling

Star schemas with conformed dimensions, so finance, sales and operations slice the same facts by the same customer, product and calendar.

Best for

BI, self-service analytics and metrics people can trust.

Data Vault

Hubs, links and satellites that integrate many sources, absorb change without rework and keep the complete, auditable history of your business.

Best for

Enterprise integration layers, many changing sources, audit and compliance.

Lakehouse architecture

Layered bronze, silver and gold zones on open table formats such as Apache Iceberg, mixing warehouse discipline with lake-scale storage.

Best for

Large or semi-structured data, ML and AI workloads, avoiding lock-in.

Your options

There are three ways to get a solid data foundation.

Same goal, very different costs, timelines and odds of getting the architecture right the first time.

How we work

A clear path, flexible enough for the real world.

What we need from you: a few conversations with the people who know the business, and access to the systems. We take it from there.

  1. Discover & assess

    We map your sources, models, pipelines, costs and the questions the business can't answer yet.

  2. Design the architecture

    A target architecture and data model, with the trade-offs written down and a realistic roadmap.

  3. Implement & integrate

    We build the models and pipelines with you, in small increments that deliver value early.

  4. Validate & optimize

    Data quality tests, reconciliation with the business, performance and cost tuning.

  5. Transfer & support

    Documentation, training and mentoring so your team owns it. Ongoing support if you want it.

FAQ

The things people ask us first.

Still have a question? Bring it to a first conversation.

Do you work with companies in the United States?

Yes. We work remotely with companies in the US and elsewhere, in English. Brasília time (UTC−3) overlaps most of the US business day, so live working sessions are easy to schedule. We can engage on a project basis or as an independent contractor embedded in your team.

Are you tied to a specific vendor or tool?

No. We are cloud- and tool-agnostic and have no reseller agreements. We have delivered on Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift, Dremio and fully open-source stacks, on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. We do have a preference: the Snowflake ecosystem with dbt, where we hold Snowflake’s advanced architect certification. But the recommendation always follows your data, your team and your budget.

Dimensional model or Data Vault: which one do we need?

Often both, in different layers. Data Vault is great for integrating many changing sources with full history; dimensional models are what analysts and BI tools should read. We decide based on your sources, your audit needs and who consumes the data, and we explain the trade-offs in plain language.

We already have a data platform. Can you help without starting over?

Most of our work starts exactly there. We assess what exists, keep what works, and fix the model, the pipelines or the costs where it matters most. Rewrites happen only when they clearly pay off.

Who will actually do the work?

An architect-led team. A senior data architect owns the design and stays with you through delivery, supported by our data engineers, analytics engineers and cloud/DevOps engineers as the project needs. You always know who is on the team and why, and you are never handed off to a junior bench after the sales call.

How do engagements and pricing work?

It depends on the shape of the work: a fixed-scope project, a monthly advisory retainer, or hourly contract work embedded in your team. After a first conversation we send a written proposal with scope, timeline and price.

Will our team be able to run it after you leave?

Yes, that is the plan from day one. Knowledge transfer is part of every engagement: your engineers pair with ours, we run hands-on workshops on the models and pipelines we deliver, and we document architecture decisions, data dictionaries and runbooks. Ownership moves to your team step by step, and we stay available for support if you want us.

Do you also work with AI?

Yes, from the data side. AI can't fix chaos: it needs structure. We build the governed, well-modeled data that AI assistants, retrieval systems and agents depend on, and we design how they access it safely.
