How we work.

Outcome

A clear diagnosis — what the core problem actually is, what's causing it, and a directional recommendation for next steps.

Best for

Teams that are stuck and need an expert perspective fast. Also suited to clients who want to test working with PDFTA before a larger commitment.

What happens

• Stakeholder interviews — technical, product, and organisational
• Initial code and data review
• Async analysis and synthesis
• Closing session with directional recommendations

Outcome

You know exactly what to build (or fix), in what order, with what team, using what technology — and why.

Best for

Teams with a stalled or underperforming AI/ML initiative, or those who know they need to act but don't yet have clarity on where to start.

What happens

• Stakeholder interviews across technical, product, commercial, and organisational dimensions
• Code and data audit
• Working sessions with the team
• Async analysis and synthesis
• Structured presentation of findings and recommendations

Outcome

An expert in your corner — available for the architectural calls, strategic decisions, and board-facing conversations that matter.

Best for

Post-sprint clients maintaining momentum. Technical leaders who want a thinking partner, not a project manager.

What happens

• 1× 60-minute monthly call (agenda set by you)
• Async Q&A via email or Slack (1–2 business day turnaround)
• Review of architectural or strategic decisions before they're made

Outcome

The right hire for your data or AI role — defined correctly, sourced from a network built across 8+ years in the global data community.

Best for

Teams who know they need a data scientist, ML engineer, or AI architect but aren't sure exactly what they need — or are struggling to find strong candidates.

What happens

• Role definition and scoping
• Job spec design
• Interview process design
• Candidate screening and shortlisting
• Network introductions where relevant
