AI-native data & analytics consulting

We don’t bill hours. We hand you finished data work.

PTSB is two principals and an AI execution layer. The AI does the intelligence-heavy build — pipelines, migrations, analytics, reporting. We supply the judgement: what to build, how to architect it, and what comes next. You get the delivered outcome, not a stack of advisory hours.

  • Fixed-scope outcomes, not retainers
  • AI executes · humans decide
  • Two senior principals, no handoffs

The shift

Sell the work, not the tool.

Most firms now sell access to AI: seats, hours, “we use the latest models.” That puts the risk on you. You pay for effort and hope it adds up to something shipped. We think that’s backwards. The model is plumbing — interesting, but not the point. What you actually want is the result: the migration done, the pipeline running, the numbers you can trust on Monday.

The old deal

  • You buy hours and advice
  • Effort is the product; outcomes are your problem
  • “We leverage AI” is the pitch
  • Scope creep, status decks, a team you have to manage

How we work

  • You buy a defined outcome, delivered
  • AI does the heavy execution at speed
  • Two principals own the judgement and the result
  • You see working data work, not a slide about it

What we do

Three things we deliver, not bill for.

Three productized outcomes, each with a defined finish line. They build on each other — clean data, then trustworthy agents, then the ongoing evaluation that keeps it all working. Priced per engagement, agreed up front — no hourly meter.

Foundation

Operational data, ready for AI

Outcome delivered
Your scattered operational data becomes a clean, queryable context layer your tools and agents can actually use.
What’s included
Source consolidation, modeling, and a governed context/semantic layer — the unglamorous foundation everything else needs. Sold standalone for teams who aren’t ready for agents yet but know their data isn’t.
Who it’s for
Companies whose AI ambitions are blocked by messy, siloed data.
Full build

Production-ready agents on your own data

Outcome delivered
Your AI agents run reliably against your real operational data — grounded, governed, and safe to ship.
What’s included
We organize and model your operational data into a clean context layer any agent or LLM can query; build deterministic guardrails so agents behave predictably (not vibes-based); and stand up a QA + evaluation harness that proves accuracy before anything reaches users. Platform-agnostic — works with Databricks, Snowflake, or your existing warehouse, not locked to one vendor.
Who it’s for
Teams who built an AI prototype that demos well but isn’t trustworthy enough to put in front of customers.

Start anywhere — most teams begin with the foundation or the full build, then move to continuous evaluation as an ongoing partnership. Tell us the outcome you need and we’ll shape the engagement around it.

How it works

AI does the building. We do the deciding.

  1. 01 We judge

    Scope the outcome

    We sit with you, find the real problem, and define a concrete finish line — what “done” looks like and how we’ll prove it.

  2. 02 We judge

    Architect the approach

    We design the data model, the platform choices, and the plan. This is the part that needs taste and experience — so it’s ours, not the model’s.

  3. 03 AI executes

    Build at machine speed

    AI does the heavy lifting — writing the migrations, pipelines, transformations, and tests — under our direction and review, far faster than a traditional team.

  4. 04 We judge

    Verify & hand over

    We validate the result against the finish line, harden it for production, and hand you working data work plus the docs to run it. Then we tell you what to build next.

Founders

Two principals. No handoffs.

You work directly with the people doing the thinking. No bench, no junior team to manage, no account layer between you and the work.
