Data & Analytics

Your data stack is built.
Your answers aren't.

We architect the pipelines, metrics layers, and statistical models that turn fragmented data into investor-grade answers — in your stack, documented for your team, built to compound.

The Problem

Most startups have data. Very few have answers.

Your dashboard shows you what happened last week. But when a Series A investor asks about your 6-month net revenue retention, payback period by acquisition channel, or your leading indicators of churn, the answer is a spreadsheet, a gut feel, or silence.

That gap doesn't just cost you in fundraising. It costs you in every decision you make while building. We fix the infrastructure that produces real answers, not just charts.

Services

What we offer.

We work across the full data stack — from raw pipeline consolidation to statistical modelling to investor-ready narrative. Every engagement produces infrastructure your team can own.

🔧
Pipeline Consolidation & Data Architecture

We consolidate fragmented data sources into a single source of truth. We build scalable dbt pipelines that enforce data integrity across every dataset, eliminating manual correction cycles and reducing time-to-insight by up to 40%.

LookML Metrics Layer & KPI Architecture

We architect LookML-based metrics layers that standardise KPI definitions across your stack, eliminate metric sprawl, and enable self-serve analytics for product and commercial teams — without creating an engineering bottleneck every time someone has a new question.

Statistical Modelling & Behavioural Analytics

K-means segmentation, Z-score models, regression analysis, pricing models, NPS modelling — we build the analytical layer that surfaces the signals your dashboards miss. We've used this to identify upgrade drivers that boosted conversion by 75% and to unlock $6M in incremental revenue from untapped customer datasets.

Investor-Ready Dashboard & Data Room Build

Cohort retention curves, net revenue retention, LTV/CAC, payback period by acquisition channel — structured for the questions investors ask in Series A diligence. We've directly enabled fundraises through the analytical layer of data rooms, most recently contributing to a £750K raise.

Customer & Market Insights

SQL-driven customer dataset mining combined with qualitative research — surveys, interviews, NPS analysis — translated into prioritised recommendations for C-suite. We've run studies at 800+ survey scale that produced investor-ready insights reports and drove measurable NPS improvement of 7+ points.

Executive Reporting & Signal Distillation

We distil data signals into prioritised KPIs for weekly executive reporting. Real-time dashboards adopted by senior leadership across multi-market operations — reducing cross-functional reporting overhead by 30%+ and cutting leadership decision cycles. Your data stack should inform decisions, not generate more meetings.

How We Work

The Frontier Data Process

Focused engagements designed to give you infrastructure that compounds — not deliverables that decay.

01
Phase 1
Metric Audit & Diagnostic

We map what's tracked, what's missing, and what's misleading — then prioritise what to build first based on your stage and the questions that matter most.

02
Phase 2
Infrastructure Build

SQL models, pipeline design, and instrumentation that produces the metrics you actually need, documented for your team to own and extend.

03
Phase 3
Investor Narrative Layer

Your metrics translated into the language investors use: charts, tables, and memo-ready analysis that holds up under diligence.

04
Phase 4
Founder Handoff

A structured handoff so your team understands the models, the decisions they support, and how to keep them current as you grow.

🔁
Optional
Ongoing Advisory

For teams in active fundraising or approaching major milestones — retainer-based support to keep your data story sharp.

💬
Always
We work in your stack

BigQuery, Redshift, Snowflake, Databricks, dbt, Looker, AWS, GCP, Azure. We adapt to your environment, not the other way around.
