Service
Ongoing Advisory
Continued access to senior data engineering expertise without a full-time hire.
The Problem
After a project closes, most industrial organizations don't have internal DE capability to keep things running, evolving, and healthy. Pipelines drift, platforms go under-utilized, and the next initiative stalls waiting for outside help.
What You Get
- ▸Monthly retainer with defined scope (not an open-ended helpdesk)
- ▸Pipeline and platform health checks
- ▸On-call access for questions, issues, and architectural decisions
- ▸Periodic reviews of data quality, performance, and cost
- ▸Priority scheduling for follow-on project work
Stack & Tools
Stack-agnostic by nature - scoped during the onboarding phase based on whatever the client's existing environment is.
How We Work
Phase 1
Scoping
Define what's covered, response time expectations, and monthly hours. Agree on what's in scope and what triggers a separate project engagement.
Phase 2
Onboarding
Review existing systems, document current state if not already done, and establish the baseline we'll measure against.
Phase 3
Active Retainer
Monthly check-ins, async support for issues and architectural questions, and regular health reviews of pipelines, data quality, and platform cost.
Phase 4
Renewal / Adjust
Quarterly scope review - scale up, scale down, or close cleanly. No lock-in, no awkward exits.
Right for You If…
- ✓You've completed a project (with us or another firm) and need ongoing coverage
- ✓You have no internal senior DE capability
- ✓You want a defined relationship, not break-fix calls at random
What You'll Need to Bring
- ▸Existing data infrastructure - we're maintaining and advising, not building from scratch
- ▸An internal point of contact who can flag issues and coordinate access
