Data scan
The data scan is the fastest way to learn what to fix first — and the cheapest way to find out whether we're a fit. One to two weeks, a fixed price, and at the end a document you can act on with or without me.
The data is there — in your systems, your exports, your spreadsheets — but the insights aren't. Every overview is pieced together by hand in Excel, the numbers depend on who made the file, and you know there's more in your data than you're getting out of it — just not where to start.
Within two weeks you know exactly what data you have and how reliable it is, have a target architecture with requirements and acceptance criteria you can build or tender from, and know what to tackle first.
What you get
The map of your data landscape (as-is)
An inventory of every data source: system, owner, access, refresh cadence, volume
How data moves today: integrations, exports, retyping — and which steps are manual
Where the figures are made today: the Excel files, exports and hand-built overviews, and who maintains them
The quality of the data
Quality findings per source: completeness, duplicates, staleness
The fields that look reliable but aren't — verified inside the systems, not from what should be there
How the same customer, order or product lives in multiple systems — and which identifiers fail to link them
The target architecture, requirements and acceptance criteria (to-be)
A target architecture: one authoritative home per entity, one reporting layer instead of loose Excel files
A metrics-layer design: every figure computed once, in one place
Functional requirements and acceptance criteria, written so a builder can build from them — with an explicit out-of-scope list
A gap analysis and a twelve-month roadmap, with a build estimate per step — ready to tender
The KPI definitions
A decision inventory: which decisions the numbers must support, who makes them, and what goes wrong today
One definition per KPI, with an owner and the exact formula — and who decides when it's contested
Source mapping and a measurability check, verified inside the sources — a KPI nobody can populate isn't a KPI
Assessment and priorities
A maturity score you can re-score later to show progress
2–3 quick wins you can implement yourself this month
Building anything — pipelines, models and dashboards are phase 2
Process analysis: how work flows is the Process scan; this maps how data flows
How it runs
Week 1 — Conversations
I talk to the people who put the figures together today and the people who steer on them. Which decisions the numbers must support, what can't be answered today, and where the definitions diverge.
Week 1 — Into the systems
I look inside your sources myself — and inside the Excel files where the reporting happens today: what's in there, how clean it is, how it fits together. No assumptions based on what should be there.
Week 2 — Working it out
The target architecture with requirements and acceptance criteria, one definition per KPI verified against the sources, the maturity score, and per roadmap step a build estimate of what it costs and what it returns.
Week 2 — Delivery
The full documentation handed over, the roadmap on the table, and the quick wins you can still implement yourself this month.
Frequently asked questions
Data scan has a fixed scope and a fixed price: €2,475 excl. VAT. You know exactly where you stand before we start.
The lead time is 1–2 weeks, with a scope that is fixed up front.
You get: An inventory of every data source — and where the insights are made today, down to the Excel files; Quality findings per source: completeness, duplicates, and the fields that look reliable but aren't; A target architecture with requirements and acceptance criteria, and a roadmap with a build estimate per step; One definition per KPI, with an owner and the exact formula — verified against your sources; 2–3 quick wins you can implement yourself.
Out of scope: Building anything — pipelines, models and dashboards are phase 2; Process analysis: how work flows is the Process scan; this maps how data flows. That is what keeps the price fixed and expectations clear.
