Data strategy consulting, on reserved capacity.

I help companies decide how their data is structured, governed, and used. The work runs on a monthly engagement with reserved hours, not a fixed-scope project.

Background

Where this practice comes from.

I have built data products at Twitter, Walmart, SnapLogic, and several startups. At Twitter, I worked on data products for privacy and compliance, serving policy teams, legal reviewers, and engineers. At Walmart, I built data products around cloud cost and revenue that powered executive reporting, finance workflows, and engineering tools.

The pattern across this work is consistent. Teams that treat data as a product, with a user, a contract, and an owner, move faster. Teams that treat data as a sequence of projects answer the same question every quarter. My consulting work applies the first model to your stack.

The framework behind this is written up in Data as a product.

Scope

What the work covers.

Data architecture

Platform selection, pipeline design, and warehouse structure matched to the decisions your teams need to make.

Analytics architecture

Metric definitions, semantic layers, and reporting structures that give one answer to one question.

Data platform setup

Enterprise data platforms stood up from zero. Ingestion, storage, modeling, and access.

Data governance

Ownership, quality checks, and lineage. The contract between the people who produce data and the people who use it.

Data teams

Building and structuring data teams. Roles, hiring plans, and working agreements with engineering and product.

Conversational analytics

Interfaces that let teams query data in plain language, built on governed datasets.

How the engagement runs

The same terms as every AnalystNest engagement.

You reserve a block of hours each month, 25 or 60. Work follows agreed priorities within that capacity. Engagements run at least three months, and either side can close with 30 days notice. Rates depend on region, capacity, and term.

The calculator on the services page shows the monthly rate for your setup. For how the model works as a fractional product management engagement, see fractional product manager.
