Steel Threads of Value
We don't spend months getting all your data in one place. Instead, we take one narrow slice from source to your hands in days. The more threads of value you have, the more valuable your data becomes.
A focused, simple system that works. Get answers from your company data with the latest AI tools—quickly, affordably, and predictably.
Every company is trying to "do AI" with their data. But they're totally unprepared. If a human can't easily navigate, understand, query and combine your data, you'll be hard pressed to get an AI to query it effectively either.
Your systems don't talk to each other. Your data isn't all in one place. Your data is probably a mess. Even if you have a data team, you may feel that you're not getting what you expected and paid for.
We deliver one small thread of value, end to end. Get your first data pipeline running in days, not months. Then iterate and expand based on real feedback.
You own your platform from day one. We use the fastest ingestion tools, most cost-effective data warehouses, and bleeding-edge AI tools to query your data.
Fast iteration cycles with lots of feedback loops. Continuous improvement applied to data. Adapt the scope as we discover your real needs together.
Hourly billing with project milestones focused on outcomes. You know what you're paying for, and you get what you're paying for. Predictable, transparent, results-driven.
We aim to build everything using code—ingestion, infrastructure, transformations, and AI tool configurations. This enables us with AI to be 10x more productive and enables continuous improvement of your data platform.
Built around you and your business. We strive to integrate our tools into your existing way of working to help you make or save money using data without the steep learning curve of learning new tools.
We don't spend months getting all your data in one place. Instead, we take one narrow slice from source to your hands in days. The more threads of value you have, the more valuable your data becomes.
The faster you can go from question to answer, the more value you extract from your data. We make this loop as short as possible.

Real results from companies that transformed their data infrastructure
Multiple myeloma research nonprofit consolidating health data to accelerate research and improve patient outcomes.
Film studio needed near real-time answers to make product decisions and improve ad performance.
Analytics Engineer & Founder
I've spent years building data infrastructure for billion-dollar companies and fast-growing startups. I've seen what works and what doesn't—the $1M, 2-year projects that deliver nothing, and the lean approaches that transform businesses in weeks.
As an analytics engineer, I've implemented the exact system I'm offering you at companies ranging from healthcare nonprofits to major film studios. The tools have gotten better, AI has made us exponentially more productive, but the core methodology remains the same: deliver value fast, iterate continuously, and keep the feedback loops tight.
I started Alder Data because too many SMEs are underinvesting in their data or wasting money on the wrong approaches. You deserve a proven system that works, implemented by someone who's done it before, at a predictable price.
No surprises. No fixed-scope traps. Just hourly billing for outcomes.
Initial data stack setup: ~10 hours ($1,750). Get your infrastructure configured with ingestion, warehouse, transformation, code repositories and AI tools.
First thread of value: 5-15 hours ($875-$2,625). Your first end-to-end data pipeline delivering real insights in days, not months.
Why hourly? Because scope changes as we learn together. Fixed-price projects either cut corners or blow budgets. Hourly billing keeps us aligned on outcomes while maintaining flexibility to pivot based on what's actually valuable for your business.
What you get: An experienced analytics engineer, best-of-breed tools, AI-accelerated development, and a proven methodology that's transformed data infrastructure for companies of all sizes.
Our agenda: to discuss your data situation, what you want to achieve, outline a path to get there, and discuss what makes sense for your company.
