There’s a frustrating trend in the consultancy world right now. You talk to a partner, and before they’ve even heard your problem, they’re telling you the solution.
They tell you they’re a “Python-first shop” or they only do Microsoft Azure. They have a preferred vendor list, and miraculously, the solution to your unique business problem always happens to be the software they earn a commission on.
It becomes less about helping you and more about lining their partners pockets or moving up to the next tier to earn more referral revenue.
We Start with the Outcome
We’re engineers. We care about whether the machine works, not what logo appears on the side.
We describe ourselves as tech agnostic. This means we don’t have a religious attachment to a specific programming language, cloud provider, or software vendor. We look at your business reality first.
Who’s going to maintain this when we leave? This is the question most consultants forget to ask.
If your internal IT team are experts in C# and the Microsoft ecosystem, it would be irresponsible of us to build a black-box solution in Python that they can’t support. We build solutions that fit your team, not ours.
Criterion 1: Your Team

Criterion 2: Your Infrastructure
If you’re already deep into the AWS ecosystem, we build native AWS solutions. We don’t try to force-fit a different cloud just because it’s trendy or because we have a partnership deal. Integration friction is the biggest killer of data projects. We aim to reduce that friction, not add to it.
Criterion 3: The Scale of the Problem
Sometimes, a low-code tool is the best answer. If you need a simple internal app to track expenses, writing custom code is a waste of your money. We’ll recommend a low-code platform that gets you live in weeks.
But if you’re processing terabytes of real-time sensor data, low-code will break. In that case, we deploy the raw power of custom Python or SQL.
We Eat Our Own Dog Food
Our primary metric is Time to Value. We want to get a working solution into your hands as fast as possible.
We use these tools ourselves. Our internal data engineers pick the best tool for the job every single day to run our own business operations. We apply that same pragmatic mindset to your projects. We aren’t here to build a monument to our own coding skills. We’re here to build a tool that makes your business more profitable.
If you want to know more about how we can help get a new project up and running in your business, why not speak directly with our CEO, Kevin Hurd, to get some honest, hands on advice and guidance. Just book a free meeting via our Data Triage page, today.
