Lakehouse Analytics is a fractional data function: data engineering, analytics engineering, analytics and AI, from one senior person. Month one is a data audit, agreed KPI definitions and a 90-day roadmap. After that, we build and run it with you, so your data is in one place and your reporting holds up in a board meeting, at one flat monthly price.

Free intro call, no obligation, and you'll speak to the person doing the work.

01

Senior, delivered fractionally.

You work directly with one senior person across data engineering, analytics engineering, analytics and AI, with no juniors and no hand-offs.

02

Clarity early.

Month one puts your data foundations and key metric definitions in place, so your next big decision and your first data hire start from numbers you trust.

03

Pricing you can read.

Three flat monthly tiers, all on this page with what each includes. Start with a 1-month minimum.

Every growing company gets a data mess.

None of this is a failure. It's what happens when a company grows faster than its plumbing. But every month you leave it, the fix gets bigger and the decisions you make in the meantime get less reliable.

The cheapest time to fix your data is before you have much of it.

01

It costs less now.

A month of setup now is far cheaper than untangling three years of conflicting definitions later.

02

Your decisions depend on it.

Cohorts, retention and unit economics come up in every serious conversation. Numbers you can rebuild from source and defend in a meeting carry weight.

03

Your first data hire starts at full speed.

They walk into a working warehouse and agreed metrics, not a pile of exports.

04

AI needs it.

Agents and copilots are only as good as the data underneath them. Get that right now and AI becomes useful later, not just a demo.

Three flat prices. All of them here.

How it works

01

Intro call

30 min, free. You tell us what's going on. We'll tell you honestly whether working together makes sense, and which tier fits.

02

Scope

After the call. A one-page written scope: sources, metrics, priorities and the tier. One flat monthly price, no surprises.

03

Month one

A data audit, agreed KPI definitions and a 90-day roadmap. You'll know what data you have, what each number means, and what comes next.

04

Ongoing

We work through the roadmap month by month, with priorities agreed together. After your minimum term, stop any time with 30 days' notice. You keep everything.

A good fit if you're

Probably not a fit if

Senior help, from the person who does the work.

Lakehouse Analytics is run by Joseph Beeby. You work with us directly. There are no juniors, and nobody hands you off after the sale.

Questions

Why not just hire a data person?

Eventually you might. But a first hire costs a full salary plus recruiting time, and they usually spend their first months building the foundations. Month one puts those foundations in place, so whoever you hire later starts on analysis.

What tools do you use?

Modern, standard and affordable: a cloud warehouse, a transformation layer for metric definitions, and a BI tool. Where you already use something sensible, we'll work with it. Everything sits in your accounts.

What if we don't have much data yet?

That's a good time to start. Less data means a faster, cheaper setup, and everything is recorded properly from then on.

What happens after month one?

We keep working through the roadmap at the same flat monthly price. Foundation has a 1-month minimum; Growth and Embedded have a 3-month minimum. After that it's 30 days' notice, and your accounts, code and documentation stay yours.

What do we need to give you?

Read access to your systems, about 2–3 hours of a founder's time in the first month to agree what the metrics mean, and someone who can approve access quickly.

Can you help with AI on our data?

Yes, once the foundations are there. AI built on agreed definitions gives answers you can check. AI pointed at a pile of exports doesn't. Month one is step one, and Growth and Embedded include AI builds on your data.
