Do we need to replace our current tools?
No. The normal path is to keep Snowflake, dbt, spreadsheets, BI tools, email, and Slack in place, then remove the brittle handoffs between them.
What is the best first project?
The best first project is usually one recurring report or workflow that the same people touch every week and that stakeholders noticeably feel when it slips.
How much process change is required?
Usually less than teams expect. Most of the work is making existing steps more reliable, observable, and scheduled—not forcing a brand-new operating model.
Can you help after the first delivery?
Yes. Some teams just need a focused project. Others keep a monthly support arrangement for tweaks, monitoring improvements, and the next workflow in line.
Is this a good fit for a tiny team?
Yes, especially when one person owns too many reporting handoffs. The work tends to pay off fastest for teams that feel understaffed around analytics or operations.
What should I send in the audit request?
The best starting point is the report, export, or workflow everyone complains about most. A screenshot, rough process description, or list of source systems is enough.
