Data foundations for the AI-driven enterprise.

A senior-led practice for organizations that are past pilots, past dashboards-as-strategy, past vendor theater. We design and build the data layer your AI agenda actually rests on.

[ 01 / Capabilities ]

Three disciplines.
One operating thesis.

Most data and AI programs fail at the seams between them. We work where they meet — engineering, governance, and the executive judgement that shapes both.

/01

Data Architecture & Warehousing

Group-level warehouses, governed pipelines, modeled domains. Built for the questions you have not asked yet — and the ones the board will ask next quarter.

  • BigQuery
  • Snowflake
  • Databricks
  • dbt
  • Lineage
/02

AI Integration & Enablement

Practical AI grounded in your data. Operational automation, executive copilots, retrieval architectures with evaluation pipelines and human oversight. We build what compounds.

  • Agents
  • Evals
  • OpenAI
  • Anthropic
/03

Executive Data Consulting

Sparring at the C-level. Data strategy, vendor selection, organizational design, AI readiness diagnostics. We work with the people who carry the outcome.

[ 02 / Selected Work ]

Eleven entities.
One source of truth.

1111 entities consolidated onto a single warehouse
143 days to close the group P&L · monthly
2 AI initiatives unblocked & in production
100 handed back to internal team · zero retainer

Context

A multi-country healthcare group operating eleven legal entities across pharmacy, clinical, and laboratory services. Each entity ran its own ERP, CRM, and operational stack. Group leadership had no consolidated view of margin, patient flow, or capital allocation. Three previous attempts at consolidation, by two consultancies and one internal team, had stalled.

Mandate

Build a single analytical layer the board could trust, in time for the next financial year. Establish a governance model that would survive turnover. Position the data estate as the foundation for two queued AI initiatives in dynamic staffing and patient-segment retention.

Engagement

  • Mapped 38 source systems across 11 entities, with reconciled definitions for the seven metrics that mattered to the board.
  • Designed a target warehouse architecture on BigQuery with domain-modeled marts, semantic governance, and column-level lineage.
  • Implemented governed pipelines with daily SLAs, alerting, and a published data contract for each upstream owner.
  • Established a central data governance function, owned by the group CFO, with a four-person operating team.
  • Delivered an executive BI surface adopted by the board for monthly review.
/ Steady state

Architecture handed over Q4 2025. Internal team owns operations. We are no longer in the building, by design.

[ 03 / The Axon Method ]

Four phases.
One named method.

The Axon Method is how every engagement runs — diagnostic, architecture, build, operate. The diagram on the right assembles itself as you read. By the time you reach the bottom, the architecture is in steady state.

  1. 01

    Diagnostic

    Weeks 1–3

    We map the current state — data estate, AI readiness, organizational seams. You receive a written assessment that survives scrutiny.

    Output  →  Diagnostic report · Roadmap · Executive briefing
  2. 02

    Architecture

    Weeks 3–7

    A target architecture document. Costed, sequenced, defensible against the next vendor pitch. The blueprint that makes everything afterward predictable.

    Output  →  Target state · Build plan · Governance · TCO model
  3. 03

    Build

    Months 2–8

    Senior-led implementation. Warehousing, pipelines, integration, governance. Observable from day one, in production well before any big-bang launch.

    Output  →  Production foundation · Runbook · Observability
  4. 04

    Operate

    Month 6 onward

    Optional managed operation, or a clean handover. Either way, the architecture is yours, documented, and free of vendor lock-in we introduced.

    Output  →  Steady-state ops · Internal team enabled · Exit-ready

[ 05 / Principles ]

Three commitments
we do not negotiate.

i.

Senior-only delivery.

Every engagement is led and executed by senior practitioners. No juniors learning on your data. No offshoring layered between you and the people doing the thinking.

ii.

Engineering before vendor.

We start from your problem, not a platform we are contracted to resell. The architecture is correct first. Tools come second. Anything we deploy outlives our involvement.

iii.

Quiet execution.

Weekly written briefings. No theatrics. No status-as-performance. The work is the deliverable, and it shows up on schedule.

[ 06 / Engage ]

Engagements begin
with a private conversation.

We work with a small number of organizations at any given time. If your data foundation is the bottleneck behind a serious AI agenda, we should talk.

All inquiries are read by a partner. Confidential under NDA on request.
