Pillar 03Service
Hands-on implementation for data governance, policies-as-code, marketplace design, and the agentic AI layer that accelerates how data products get built, governed, and measured.
Two related disciplines, often run together.
The middle layer Big Four firms outsource. This is the work that decides whether the strategy survives the handover.
Organisations rolling out data product governance, marketplace, or platform tooling and needing a senior practitioner alongside the platform team. Programmes piloting agentic AI in the data engineering loop and wanting the value-measurement framework set up before the pilot is in production.
Particularly relevant when the team has built the strategy but is not yet seeing it executed, or when AI proof-of-concepts keep stalling at the production line.
Typical engagement: 8 to 16 weeks of part-time embedded counsel with the delivery team. Two or three working sessions a week, lightweight async between. Build artefacts get shipped with your team's names on them, not mine.
For agentic AI specifically, expect a four to six week pilot that ships a working agent capability plus the measurement layer to evaluate it.
