EMBEDDED DATA TEAM
Your data team, without building one from scratch.
Get ongoing engineering, analytics and BI capability working inside the rhythm of your business. We take ownership of an agreed data backlog, work closely with your teams and keep improving the systems behind your decisions.
A practical alternative to hiring an entire data function or managing multiple freelancers.
One relationship. Capability that flexes.
The backlog changes. Some months lean on engineering, some on reporting, some on steady operation. It’s the same team and the same agreed priorities — not four freelancers to manage.
You probably don’t need another pair of hands. You need somebody to own the work.
There is no internal data team yet.
You’ve outgrown spreadsheets and ad-hoc reporting but aren’t ready to hire a complete data organisation.
The existing team is overloaded.
Important engineering, reporting or analytics work keeps losing priority to urgent requests.
Capability is missing.
You may have analysts but no engineering capacity — or strong engineers without enough BI and commercial analytics.
The backlog never gets smaller.
Every department has requests, but nobody has capacity to turn them into a coherent roadmap.
More than people on a timesheet.
Staff augmentation gives you extra capacity to manage. Our embedded model is built around shared ownership of outcomes — we agree what matters most, what to build next, what “reliable” means, who owns each decision and how progress is measured, then deliver against that rhythm. One team covers the whole stack:
Engineering
Pipelines, integrations, warehouses, SQL, Python and data models.
Analytics
KPIs, investigations, segmentation, funnels, cohorts and decision support.
BI
Dashboards, reporting, semantic models and self-service environments.
Data operations
Quality monitoring, refreshes, documentation, recurring reporting and improvement.
One backlog. The right capability at the right time.
Understand
We learn your business, systems, recurring decisions and current data problems.
Prioritise
Together we build a living backlog based on business impact, dependencies and effort.
Deliver
The right mix of engineering, analytics and BI works through the highest-value priorities.
Operate
We monitor, document, improve and support what has already been built.
Transfer
Systems are documented so knowledge stays with the organisation — not one consultant’s head.
Stay because we’re useful. Not because you’re trapped.
We deliberately build systems other capable people can understand. Documentation, metric definitions, source logic and operating runbooks are part of the work. If you eventually build an internal team, they should inherit a better data environment — not a dependency on us.
Good partners reduce dependency.
