Service · Ongoing retainer

Data capability that grows with you.

An ongoing engagement for teams that need data insight as a continuous capability, not a one-off deliverable. Three-month minimum, rolling after that.

Duration
3+ months
Format
Monthly retainer
What's included

A senior data function, fractional.

Growth is the engagement most clients settle into after a Starter pilot. You get ongoing analytical capability without a full-time hire.

Dashboard evolution

Your dashboards and reports evolve as your business evolves. New metrics, new cuts, new views, built as you need them, not quarterly.

Monthly strategy calls

One hour every month reviewing what the data is telling you, what to do about it, and what to build next. Your CFO or founder in the call.

Ad-hoc analysis

Quick questions get quick answers. Board asking about a new metric. New cohort pattern worth investigating. Included in the retainer, no change requests.

Team training and handover

Your internal team learns alongside. When you eventually hire an internal data lead, they step into a well-documented environment, not a black box.

Who it's for

Your data needs are ongoing but you are not ready for a full-time hire.

Growth fits companies that have outgrown ad-hoc analysis but cannot justify a Head of Data yet. Typically Series A to Series B, or PE-backed SMEs with a finance team but no dedicated data function.

  • You have 2-5 dashboards that need ongoing maintenance and evolution
  • Your board or leadership team asks for new cuts and analyses between meetings
  • You want a senior operator who knows both the business and the data, not a junior analyst
  • A full-time Head of Data would cost €120-200k all-in, which is not yet defensible for your stage
How it works

Ongoing rhythm, clear ownership.

Retainer engagements need rhythm. We set one up on day one and stick to it.

Week 1
1

Onboarding

We inherit any existing infrastructure, document the current state, and agree the first 30 days priorities. You get a single-page engagement charter.

Monthly
2

Strategy call + build

One hour call at the start of each month reviewing last month and priorities for next. We build during the month. You get midweek updates.

Quarterly
3

Review and recalibrate

Every quarter we step back. Is the engagement shape still right. Is the scope expanding. Is there an internal hire to plan for. No autopilot.
