The Data Architecture That Makes AI Work
For every euro invested in AI, six should go into data architecture. We help ambitious teams build that foundation — and keep it reliable.
The vast majority of data teams have no semantic layer in place — a massive window of competitive opportunity.
Adding a semantic layer improves LLM query accuracy by up to 300% compared to raw SQL grounding.
For every euro spent on AI, six should go into the data infrastructure that makes it reliable.

What We Do
Five ways we help your team win
Every engagement is scoped to your situation. We don't do off-the-shelf retainers. Select the service that fits where you are, and we'll send a tailored proposal.
AI Readiness Assessment
Understand exactly where you stand before you invest further.
Most teams rush into AI tooling without knowing what their data can actually support. Our assessment maps your current data architecture, governance gaps, and semantic coverage — and delivers a concrete roadmap for what needs to happen before AI can be trusted in production.
What you get
- Full audit of your existing data models, metrics definitions, and tooling
- Gap analysis: where hallucinations and inconsistencies will emerge
- Prioritised roadmap with effort and impact estimates
- Executive summary ready to align stakeholders
Teams evaluating AI investments or struggling with unreliable AI outputs.
Semantic Layer Design & Implementation
The infrastructure that makes AI outputs trustworthy.
A well-designed semantic layer is the single highest-leverage investment a data team can make right now. It creates a shared business vocabulary — metrics, dimensions, hierarchies — that both humans and LLMs can rely on. We design, implement, and validate semantic layers that turn your raw warehouse into a reliable source of truth.
What you get
- Semantic layer architecture designed for your specific stack (dbt Semantic Layer, Cube, LookML, Omni, or custom)
- Metrics catalogue with certified, governed definitions
- LLM grounding layer so AI tools query meaning, not just syntax
- Documentation and knowledge transfer to your team
Data teams preparing for AI-powered analytics or consolidating fragmented metric definitions.
Tool-Agnostic Data Strategy
Vendor-neutral guidance in a market full of vendor-biased advice.
The modern data tooling market is noisy and moving fast. Most advice you receive is shaped by vendor incentives. We don't sell software — we help you make the right architectural decisions for your specific team, stack, and growth stage. From tool selection to build-vs-buy decisions to migration planning.
What you get
- Independent evaluation of BI, semantic layer, and warehouse options
- Architecture review and recommendations
- Migration planning and risk assessment
- Ongoing strategic advisory via embedded expert or retainer
CTOs, Head of Data, and analytics leaders making major platform decisions.
Training & Team Enablement
Close the skills gap before it becomes a competitive gap.
95% of data teams haven't started on semantic layer or AI-ready data architecture. The bottleneck isn't budget — it's knowledge. We run bespoke training programmes for data engineers, analytics engineers, and business analysts covering modern data modelling, semantic layer fundamentals, and working with AI tools responsibly.
What you get
- Custom curriculum built around your stack and team level
- Hands-on workshops — not slide decks
- Practical exercises using your actual data and tooling
- Post-training support and Q&A access
Data teams upskilling for the AI era. Particularly strong for dbt, LookML, and semantic layer tooling.
Managed Semantic Services
Keep your semantic layer accurate as your business evolves.
Semantic layers aren't a one-time project. Metrics change, new products launch, business rules shift. Without active maintenance, your semantic layer decays — and with it, the reliability of every AI and analytics output that depends on it. We offer ongoing management of your semantic layer as a retainer service.
What you get
- Dedicated expert with context on your business and data model
- Continuous metrics governance and certification
- New metric and dimension implementation as requirements emerge
- Monthly health reports and semantic layer audit
Teams that have built a semantic layer and need to keep it accurate and growing.
