Engagement Model
The right engagement
starts with one question.
We structure our work around what you actually need. Answer a few questions to find the right fit, or review all five options below.
Not sure where to start
Start with accountability.
Then choose how we deliver.
Your path
Are you looking for a team to run your data operations on an ongoing basis, or help getting a specific piece of work done?
What does that look like day to day?
Do you have a clear picture of what you need built?
Can you define the scope and timeline upfront, or will priorities likely shift?
Do you need ongoing access to senior data practitioners as the work evolves?
Question 1 of 5
Are you looking for a team to run your data operations on an ongoing basis, or help getting a specific piece of work done?
MDSP is the responsibility model. Project SOW and Data Retainer are capacity models: they can stand alone, or layer onto MDSP.
All options
Five ways to work together.
Every engagement starts with a conversation. This is the landscape: what each model looks like, and when it tends to fit.
Clarify Direction
Diagnostic Sprint
A structured discovery engagement. We audit your systems, interview your team, map the gaps, and hand you a clear picture of what to fix, build, or prioritize first.
Best when: Priorities are unclear.
Deliver Work
Project SOW
Defined outcome. Agreed scope. Fixed deliverables and a timeline. We execute and hand off something that works.
Best when: The work is clear and you need senior execution.
Data Retainer
Consistent access to senior data practitioners without locking in a fixed scope. We flex as your priorities do.
Best when: You need ongoing capacity, not a defined project.
Own + Operate
MDSP Light
We take ownership of your data infrastructure: pipelines maintained, data quality monitored, governance in place. Your team focuses on the business. We keep the foundation running.
Best when: You need a reliable data operation, not a vendor.
MDSP Pro
We act as your fractional head of data. Roadmap ownership, leadership presence, executive narratives, and proactive intelligence. The full data function without the full-time hire.
Best when: Data needs a seat at the leadership table.
Not sure which fits? Let’s talk.
Most conversations start with a 30-minute call. We’ll tell you what we think makes sense.
