Ann Arbor, Washtenaw County

AI and BI consulting for Ann Arbor businesses

Ann Arbor has an unusual concentration of technically literate teams, which changes the problem. Here the issue is rarely that nobody can build a model or write SQL. It is that analysis lives in individual notebooks and nobody has turned it into something the rest of the organization can rely on week after week.

Who we work with in Ann Arbor

Organizations with real data and no in-house data engineering function, across the sectors this market actually concentrates in.

Research and life sciences

Labs and spinouts with real analytical depth and no production reporting layer.

Software and technology startups

Product teams that instrumented events early and now cannot answer basic revenue and retention questions consistently.

Healthcare and academic medicine

Groups working with clinical and operational data under real privacy constraints.

Professional and consulting firms

Billable-hours businesses with utilization and pipeline data spread across three tools.

With technical teams the fastest win is usually governance rather than capability: one modeled source, defined metrics, and a review process, so the smart analysis that is already happening stops being re-derived from scratch by each person who needs it.

Questions from Ann Arbor businesses

We already have analysts. What would you actually add?

Structure, usually. Capable analysts producing one-off work is the most common pattern we see in Ann Arbor. The work is defining metrics once, building a semantic model everything inherits from, and setting up ownership so analysis compounds instead of being rebuilt. That frees your analysts for the questions only they can answer.

Can you work with sensitive research or clinical data?

Yes. Client data is handled in a per-engagement workspace with access limited to that engagement, and final deliverables can be hosted on infrastructure you control. Specific handling requirements go in the engagement letter before work starts.

Do you work with early-stage startups?

Yes, though the honest answer is that pre-product-market-fit companies usually should not be spending on this yet. Once you have real usage and are making retention and pricing decisions from data, it is worth doing properly.

Fifteen minutes is usually enough to tell whether you have a reporting problem, a data-model problem, or something AI can actually take off your plate.
