South by Northeast · Consumer Data Engineering
We work with consumer brands whose marketing systems have become the constraint. When the data is not actionable, we make it actionable. When the platform will not do what the business needs, we build the thing that does. In weeks rather than months, and you own the code.

What we do
They are independent. Plenty of clients need one and not the other.
I have consumer data, but I cannot trust it, cannot get to it, or cannot get anything useful out of it.
I am paying for a platform that still will not do what I need, and the vendor cannot help me.
See it in practice
Who We Work With
Consumer data sits across platforms that were never designed to agree, and some of it has migrated more than once. Marketing keeps asking for faster reporting, cleaner segments, and fraud flags. Your team does not have the headcount to build all of it.
We make the data actionable, on a warehouse you own.
You run loyalty, rewards, promotions, and CRM for a consumer brand. The business asks for a specific mechanic or a specific tool. The vendor has something close, and the real version needs professional services or a feature request.
We build what your platform will not, and you keep it when we are done.
What we hear
Reporting is assembled from platforms that were never designed to agree with each other. When two numbers conflict, no one can say which is right, so the meeting turns into a debate about the data instead of a decision.
Duplicate accounts, abused promotions, and suspicious redemption patterns get caught at quarter close, if they get caught at all. By then the margin is already gone.
The business asks for something specific. The vendor says it has something close, shoehorns it in, and puts the real version on a roadmap for next year. You pay the license either way.
Recent work
92% accuracy flagging suspicious redemption patterns. Previously found at quarter close, if at all. Now surfacing in real time.
Eight hours a week back for each analyst. Reports that arrive on time, every week, without anyone assembling them manually.
The capability now runs on a warehouse they own outright. No license, and no migration next time.
We also found their top 500 customers in days, from data spread across platforms that had migrated more than once. Reference available on request.
How we start
Buying software takes four to six weeks and five meetings. We skip that. Tell us what you need and we will build a working version of it, usually inside 24 hours, as a fixed price Prototype Sprint. You click it. You tell us what is wrong with it. If it is not right, you have lost a day instead of a quarter, and you keep what we built.
How we work
Thirty minutes. We find out what is broken and whether we are the right people for it. If we are not, we will say so.
A readiness assessment, a prototype, or a working session with your engineers. Small, fixed price, and it produces something you keep whether or not you hire us again.
Fixed price, scoped from what the first step found. Deployed into your infrastructure. We do not host it and we do not hold it.
Monitoring and anomaly detection so problems surface when they happen rather than at quarter close. Monthly, and optional.
Fit
What it costs
Every engagement begins with a fixed price first step so you know exactly what you are buying before we talk about anything bigger.
We audit your consumer data: sources, quality, and gaps. You get a written report on what it can support today and what needs fixing before it can support more.
A working version of the thing you need, built in 24 to 48 hours. Scoped before we start. Yours to keep, deploy, or hand to your own engineers whether or not we continue.
A working session with your engineering team on directed coding: how we build fast and how your team can too.
Scoped from the first step. Fixed price, defined deliverables, deployed to your infrastructure.
Anomaly detection and data quality monitoring. Optional, and priced separately from any build.
Below $7,500 we will tell you it is too small for us to do properly, and say so early.
Terms of the work
Not licensed, not rented. Fire us and hire anyone who knows an API.
Deployed into your infrastructure and your cloud. We do not host.
You pay hosting and usage directly, at cost. We do not mark it up.
Nothing here forces another migration in three years.
Capabilities
What your data supports today, and what it does not
Redemption abuse and suspicious pattern flagging
Weekly summaries in plain English, no dashboard
Punch cards, streaks, sweepstakes engines
The capability your vendor only approximates
Rebuilt on your warehouse. License retires
Hands on with your engineers. We build nothing
Methodology
We specify before we generate. Every function is defined first, then written, which is the opposite of how most teams use AI to code. It means the output is predictable, the cost is predictable, and the thing we hand you is maintainable by whoever you hire next.
We call it directed coding. It is also why we can put working software in front of you the day after we talk.
Every function defined before a line is written
AI assisted build against the specification
Reviewed by senior engineers, not shipped blind
Into your infrastructure. We do not host
Who does the work
No bench, no layered account team, no junior staff learning on your budget. The people you meet are the people who build it.
Supported by a delivery team covering technical program management, API and platform engineering, business intelligence, and applied AI.
Get in touch
Thirty minutes. No demo, no platform pitch. Bring the thing your platform will not do, or the number nobody trusts. We will tell you whether it is a week of work or a quarter, what it would cost, and whether we are the right people for it.
