Your data is scattered across tools.
None of it talks to each other.
A proper data platform, without hiring a data team. End-to-end: ingestion to dashboards. Two phases: audit first, then a fixed-price build. Senior engineering, clean handover.
What brings most clients here.
What we build, end to end.
Sources
Warehouse
Orchestration
Each layer chosen based on your data volume, team skill, and budget — not on which vendor pays partner commissions.
Three layers. All three done right.
Automated Data Pipelines
We connect your data sources (databases, APIs, SaaS tools) using Airbyte or Fivetran, depending on your needs. Data lands in BigQuery on a reliable schedule, with monitoring and alerts when something breaks.
Data Architecture & Modeling
Raw data is cleaned, modeled, and documented in Dataform or dbt. Staging, transformation, and reporting layers. Data quality tests built in from the start so issues surface before they hit dashboards.
Dashboards, Reports & AI-ready
We connect the BI tool that fits your team (Looker, Lightdash, Metabase, or Steep) and build the dashboards that matter. We also configure the AI features on top, so conversational analytics or AI agents query governed metrics, not raw tables.
The tools we reach for.
Every implementation uses some combination of these. The mix depends on your data sources, team, and budget. We explain the tradeoffs before we pick.
How an implementation runs.
Audit (1–2 weeks, €3,000 – €5,000)
Sources, volumes, and tools evaluated. Written recommendation and fixed-price build proposal. Available standalone.
Your decision (no pressure, no fees for deciding)
Proceed with the build, do it yourselves, or stop here. Plenty of clients take the report and execute internally.
Build (6–10 weeks, bi-weekly demos)
We lead the technical work. Your team joins reviews and decisions, and can take on small parts when it makes sense. Bi-weekly demos, async by default.
Handover (1–2 weeks)
Training sessions, full documentation, recorded walkthroughs. Your team owns it when we leave. Not in theory, in practice.
Post-launch support (30 days, included)
You have questions, small tweaks, an unexpected edge case. We're reachable for 30 days after handover at no extra cost.
Pricing.
1–2 weeks, fixed price, paid 100% upfront. Written recommendation and fixed-price build proposal. Same audit available standalone.
7–12 weeks (build + handover), priced after the audit based on the real scope. Fixed price, agreed before we start.
Total range when clients do both phases: €15,000 – €35,000.
What affects the price
| Factor | Lower price | Higher price |
|---|---|---|
| Number of data sources | 2–3 simple sources | 6–10 mixed sources |
| Transformation complexity | Standard model | Complex business logic |
| BI tool | Steep / Metabase | Lightdash / Looker with LookML |
| Orchestration needs | None needed | Dagster-based workflow |
Example scenarios
Startup with Postgres, Stripe, and HubSpot. Metabase for dashboards.
Scale-up with product databases, marketing APIs, and finance tools. Looker with LookML.
E-commerce business with Shopify, advertising platforms (Meta, Google), and finance tools. Lightdash for the ops team.
Payment
Audit 100% at audit kickoff. Build 50% at start · 30% at the mid-project milestone · 20% on final handover. Fixed price. No change orders without a signed amendment.
Not sure this is the right fit?
Platform exists but not working?
Audit what you have, then build the improvements. Two phases: audit first, then a fixed-price build.
See OptimizationScope is narrower than a full build?
Focused help on one or two layers: Dataform, Looker, BigQuery costs. Fixed-price, 2–6 weeks.
