Data Engineering & Workflow Automation

Stop building reports.
Start building revenue.

Your team spends hours every week on reports that are outdated before anyone reads them. We build data pipelines and AI-powered automations that pull from your tools — then deliver clean, formatted outputs automatically. No manual exports. No broken VLOOKUPs. No more "the numbers don't match" meetings.

01 — The Problem

Your data is in five systems.
Your report is in a spreadsheet.
That's the problem.

Operations teams across industries spend 8–12 hours every week doing the same thing: exporting CSVs, running VLOOKUPs, reconciling numbers that don't match, and building reports that are already stale by the time leadership reads them.

The problem isn't your team. It's that your systems don't talk to each other, and nobody's built the bridge.

Optimize

Ongoing

After the first 30 days, we review performance data with you. We identify what's working, what needs tuning, and what to automate next. Most clients find 2–3 additional high-value opportunities in the first review.

Data Security and Operating Discipline

Security proof, not just security language.

Our data protection posture is built around documented operating steps, not generic assurances. When we touch CRM infrastructure, routing logic, reporting layers, attribution systems, or supporting datasets, the work follows a repeatable model for access requests, environment setup, tool disclosure, incident handling, and clean closeout that internal stakeholders can actually review.

How we operate
01

Least-privilege system access

We request only the systems and permissions required for the reporting, routing, attribution, or CRM work in scope. Read-only access is the default, and any elevated access must be explicitly approved.

02

No off-platform data sprawl

Client revenue data stays inside the approved environment whenever possible. We do not move pipeline, contact, or performance data into personal storage, side spreadsheets, or unapproved tools just to speed up implementation.

03

Named-operator accountability

Access is controlled, documented, and tied to the specific operator performing the work. That means clearer audit trails, cleaner handoffs, and fewer unknowns when stakeholders review who touched the system.

Client-facing commitment

We do not treat data access as informal admin work. If we are inside your CRM, warehouse, dashboards, automation tooling, or supporting datasets, we use written authorization, named-user access, MFA-preferred authentication, documented scope boundaries, and a defined revocation and destruction process.

Safeguards we implement

Institution- or client-provisioned credentials, with SSO and MFA preferred wherever available.

Encrypted connections, role-based access, and environment-specific secrets management for pipelines and reporting layers.

Documented revocation and data-destruction steps at the end of each engagement or project phase.

No client data submitted to third-party AI tools unless a specific use case is approved in writing first.

Downloadable one-pager

Share a concise security summary with IT, procurement, or internal stakeholders before kickoff.

CRM and GTM systems

We request access by exact system name, required data elements, access level, technical method, and duration so internal IT teams are never left guessing what is needed or why.

Reporting and warehouse layers

When data work is in scope, repositories, staging databases, ETL orchestration, secrets storage, and dashboards are designed to live inside the client environment rather than being recreated in side systems for convenience.

Delivery process

Each phase closes with documented access revocation, repository handoff, and a written data destruction confirmation so the operating trail is clear after the work is complete.

What makes this credible
Proof 01

Access inventory before access is granted

Every system request is documented with the exact access level, data elements, duration, and preferred connection method before any work begins.

Why it matters: clients can review and narrow scope before credentials are issued.

Proof 02

Tool disclosure and AI-use decisions in writing

We disclose which platforms directly process client data, which only touch supporting material, and when AI tools are prohibited or separately authorized.

Why it matters: stakeholders see the stack, the exposure path, and the approval model up front.

Proof 03

Named closeout artifacts at phase end

Access revocation confirmations, repository handoff, and a data destruction letter are treated as deliverables rather than informal cleanup tasks.

Why it matters: IT and procurement teams have concrete evidence that the engagement closed cleanly.

Proof 04

Procurement-ready security responses

The process is built to support HECVAT submissions, vendor registration, incident-response follow-up, and internal review questions without improvising security language midstream.

Why it matters: security review feels like a prepared workflow, not a scramble.

Disclosure and implementation note

Security controls are adapted to the client environment, data sensitivity, and approved tool stack. Where an engagement involves stricter governance requirements, we can align to institution-specific access reviews, HECVAT submission requirements, documented incident reporting paths, retention rules, and procurement checkpoints before implementation work begins.

Security FAQ 01

How is access controlled during a client engagement?

We scope access to the smallest set of systems and permissions needed for delivery, document the request by system and data element, and default to read-only unless a higher level is explicitly justified and approved before implementation work begins.

Security FAQ 02

Do you move client data into external tools or personal files?

Our default operating model is to work inside approved client environments and avoid unnecessary exports. We do not move data into personal storage, side spreadsheets, or unapproved third-party tools for convenience.

Security FAQ 03

What happens when the project ends?

We use a documented closeout process that covers access revocation, handoff notes, and confirmation of any required data-destruction or environment cleanup steps tied to the project scope.

Security FAQ 04

Can your process support IT or procurement review?

Yes. The operating model is built to support tool disclosure, vendor registration, HECVAT-style questionnaires, access-boundary review, retention expectations, and incident-response follow-up before delivery work starts.

06 — Questions

The questions we get
on every call.

HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Stripe, Chargebee, Recurly, Marketo, HubSpot Marketing, Google Analytics, Slack, Google Sheets, Notion, and most tools with a REST API. We build on Make.com and n8n — no proprietary platforms.
No. We build on top of what you already have. The entire value proposition is that you don't need to replace anything — you need the systems you have to talk to each other.
The audit phase takes 1–2 weeks. The build phase takes 2–6 weeks depending on complexity. Most clients have their first automated report running within 4–6 weeks of kickoff.
We document everything in plain language, run a team training session (2–4 hours), and provide 30 days of post-launch support. After that, your team can maintain and modify everything we built. No ongoing dependency on us.
Engagements typically run $8K–$24K depending on scope and complexity. The free Stack Review call is how we figure out whether the math works for your situation before anyone commits to anything.
Yes. We work alongside operations managers, data engineers, and systems admins regularly. We can either lead the build or work in an advisory capacity — whatever gets the automation shipped fastest.
Right fit if:
Growing company with 10–500 employees
Operations or data team of 1–5 people
3+ systems that don't talk to each other
Weekly reporting still involves manual exports
You've tried to fix this with a hire and it didn't stick
Not right if:
Pre-revenue or pre-product
Looking for a full-time employee
Need a BI platform or data warehouse
07 — About

We've pulled the data.
Fixed the broken Zaps.
Built the bridge.

We're a data engineering and workflow automation team. We've spent years building systems that connect fragmented tools, clean messy data, and eliminate the manual work that slows operations teams down — work that a well-built automation can do in seconds.

We started this practice because we got tired of watching smart people burn out on spreadsheet maintenance. The tools to fix it exist — n8n, Claude AI, and modern APIs can automate almost any workflow. Most teams just don't have the engineering depth to connect them.

We work with a focused set of clients at a time. That's intentional. When we're on your project, we're actually on your project — not handing it off to people who've never seen your stack.
