I help organizations build repeatable analytical systems around operational business data. The focus is on methodology first: understand the data, understand the decisions, create analytical assets, and preserve the knowledge that makes the solution durable.

Step 1: Understand the Data

Questions:

  • What is the unit of analysis?
  • What entities exist?
  • What temporal structure exists?
  • What is the baseline data quality?

Tools:

  • DD Parser Cleaner
  • Dataset profiling

Step 2: Understand the Business Process

Questions:

  • What decisions are being made?
  • What relationships matter?
  • What patterns are stable?

Tools:

  • Descriptive analytics
  • Entity analytics

Step 3: Create Analytical Assets

Questions:

  • What features matter?
  • What models are appropriate?
  • What operational assumptions exist?

Tools:

  • Featurization
  • Modeling governance

Step 4: Preserve Knowledge

Questions:

  • What was learned?
  • What assumptions were made?
  • How is the solution maintained?

Tools:

  • KMDS

Typical Engagement Outcomes

  • Repeatable monthly or quarterly workflows
  • Consistent definitions and operational metrics
  • Clear feature lineage and interpretable model inputs
  • Durable documentation and analytical handoff

My consulting and methodological design experience spans the US, India, and Europe.
