One agreed number, then the clever stuff.

DataOps pipelines, a governed semantic layer, predictive models, GenAI agents and Power BI reporting, built by a South African team that stays on to run them after handover.

One definition Every core metric defined once, in a governed layer everyone reports from
Boring pipelines Monitored, alerting, documented, the unglamorous part that makes AI possible
Models in production Not a notebook demo: deployed, monitored and owned by a named team

The problem

Two reports, two answers, one very long meeting.

Most organisations do not have an AI problem. They have an agreement problem: no single definition of revenue, customer or headcount that every system respects.

Dashboards nobody believes

Two teams present different numbers for the same month and the meeting becomes an audit.

Pipelines held together by people

Critical data movement depends on a scheduled task and one person’s memory.

AI pilots that stall

A promising model never leaves the notebook because nothing about it was built to run in production.

Reporting backlog

Analysts spend their week rebuilding extracts instead of answering questions.

Four workstreams, sequenced deliberately.

01

Data engineering

Ingestion, transformation and DataOps pipelines that are monitored, versioned and documented.

02

Semantic layer

One governed definition per metric, so every report and model draws from the same source.

03

AI & ML

Predictive models and GenAI agents scoped to a decision, deployed properly and monitored for drift.

04

BI & reporting

Power BI reporting built for decisions, with self-service where the data is trustworthy enough for it.

Implementation

Twelve weeks, stated up front.

Week 1–3 · Audit

Source systems reviewed and a single agreed definition produced for each core metric.

Week 4–8 · Build

Pipelines, semantic layer and monitoring in place, with the first certified dataset published.

Week 9–12 · Decide

First decision dashboards and one production model live, with the run book handed to your team.

Platforms & tooling

We work in your stack, not our favourite one.

Most SA enterprises are already part-way into Microsoft or a hybrid estate. We build on that rather than proposing a migration you did not ask for.

Questions we get asked first

Yes, one domain, one certified dataset, one decision. That is a better first project than a platform programme.

Where there is a real decision or workflow behind it. We will talk you out of a chatbot that has no owner.

Your team, our team, or both. Many clients keep us on a managed basis precisely so the pipelines stay boring.

Only if you choose a hosting model that requires it. POPIA and residency constraints are part of the design conversation, not an afterthought.

Bring the two reports that disagree. We’ll start there.

Thirty minutes with a data engineer who will tell you honestly how big the gap is.
