What We Do

Everything your data and AI strategy needs

From initial strategy through production deployment, we cover the full spectrum — scoped to what will actually move the needle for your business.

Data Strategy

Align your data investments with real business outcomes.

Data Platform Modernization

How It Works

From first call to measurable results

A simple, transparent process built around your outcomes — not billable hours.

1

Free Discovery Call

A no-pressure 30-minute conversation to understand your challenges, goals, and where you are today. We come prepared — and you leave with at least one actionable insight.

2

Quick Assessment

We do a rapid structured assessment of your data, tools, team, and business context. Within one week, you have a clear picture of your current state and the two or three highest-leverage opportunities.

3

Roadmap & Proposal

We present a concrete roadmap — scoped initiatives, timelines, resource estimates, and expected outcomes. No 200-page decks. A clear, honest proposal you can review with your team.

4

Delivery Sprints

We work in two-week sprints with weekly check-ins. You see progress every sprint, and priorities can adjust as you learn. We build alongside your team, not around them.

5

Enablement & Ongoing Support

At the end of every engagement, your team owns what we built. We provide documentation, training, and optional ongoing advisory to keep momentum — no dependency created.

Why Altitude

Built differently — by design.

We are a small firm of senior practitioners who do one thing: help SMBs get real value from data and AI, without the overhead of a large consultancy.

Speed Without Shortcuts

We use proven patterns and modern tooling to deliver real results in weeks, not quarters. Our frameworks are battle-tested — we adapt them, not reinvent them.

Business-First Thinking

Every recommendation is grounded in ROI. We ask "what decision does this enable?" before we write a line of code. Technology is the tool, not the goal.

Security-Minded by Default

Data security and governance are built in from the start — not bolted on at the end. We follow least-privilege principles and work within your compliance requirements.

We Build Your Capabilities

Our goal is to leave you stronger, not dependent on us. Every engagement includes knowledge transfer, documentation, and training so your team can own what we build.

Measurable Outcomes

We define success metrics upfront and track them throughout. If we cannot articulate the expected ROI before we start, we will not take on the project.

Senior Practitioners Only

You work directly with experienced data engineers and AI practitioners — not a junior team managed from a distance. Our clients get the same expertise, regardless of company size.

Case Studies

Real results for real businesses

No vanity metrics. Just honest outcomes and the work that drove them.

Retail

Regional Retailer Cuts Reporting Time by 60%

A 120-location specialty retailer was spending 15+ hours per week manually compiling sales and inventory reports in Excel. We built a modern BI stack that automated data ingestion and gave their team real-time dashboards.

Series A SaaS Company Builds Data Foundation in 8 Weeks

Client Stories

What our clients say

Altitude did not just build dashboards — they helped us understand our business in a way we never had before. The team was practical, fast, and never oversold us on what we did not need.
Sarah Chen
VP of Operations, Pacific Retail Group
I was skeptical about AI. Our previous vendor quoted us $400K for a project that went nowhere. Altitude scoped it right, delivered in six weeks, and the ROI was clear in the first quarter.
Marcus Rivera
CEO, Precision Components LLC
Having a single source of truth for our metrics changed how we run our business. We went from arguing about numbers in meetings to actually making decisions. The onboarding they provided meant our team could own it from day one.

Head of Product, Claro Software
FAQ

Common questions

We offer fixed-price project engagements and time-and-materials retainers, depending on the nature of the work. Fixed-price projects include a scoping phase so both sides are aligned before any significant investment. Retainers are typically 20–40 hours per month and suit ongoing advisory, support, or iterative development. We are transparent about costs upfront — no surprise invoices.

It depends on scope. A focused assessment takes 1–2 weeks. A BI dashboard project typically runs 3–6 weeks. A full data platform modernization is 8–16 weeks. AI use case proof-of-concepts are usually 4–8 weeks. We break everything into two-week sprints, so you see progress continuously.

Data security is built into how we work. We sign NDAs and data processing agreements before accessing any systems. We follow least-privilege access principles, work in your existing cloud environment where possible, and never retain client data after an engagement ends. We are familiar with SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR requirements and can work within regulated environments.

We are platform-agnostic and tool-pragmatic. Our team has deep experience with Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, Redshift, dbt, Fivetran, Airbyte, Power BI, Tableau, Looker, Python, and the major cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure). We recommend the right tool for your situation — not the tool we have a partnership with.

Absolutely. Many of our engagements are with companies that have a small internal data team that is stretched thin. We augment their capacity on specific projects, help establish best practices, and transfer knowledge so your team is stronger after we leave — not dependent on us.

We focus on small and mid-sized businesses — typically $5M to $250M in revenue, with 10 to 1,000 employees. We find this is the sweet spot where data and AI investments can have outsized impact, and where companies do not yet have the internal expertise to execute independently.

No obligation. No pitch deck.
