Four Ways We Engage

Everything starts free. We scope to your actual situation — no generic packages.

Data Discovery Session

Free

A 2-hour conversation about your business numbers — where your data lives, what's missing, and what's possible. You leave with a one-page summary of your data landscape and a clear view of what to do next.

Enquire

AI Readiness Audit

£1,500–2,500

A structured assessment of your data across all systems — POS, inventory, ecommerce, finance. We identify the gaps stopping you from using AI tools effectively and give you a clear roadmap to fix them.

Enquire

Data Foundation

£5,000–8,000

We connect your data sources, clean what needs cleaning, and build you a reliable reporting layer. The result: a single view of your business performance you can actually act on.

Enquire

Fractional Data Director

From £1,000/month

Two days a month, embedded in your business. We own the data function so you don't have to — tracking performance, spotting opportunities, and making sure your data strategy keeps pace with your growth.
