Boutique revenue intelligence & AI operations
We turn your data into systems that drive revenue and run operations.
A boutique agency for startups and consumer businesses. We build the forecasting models, AI automations, and analytics foundations that move the numbers you actually run on — and we build them to outlast the person who wrote them.

What We Do
Two things we're known for, built on a foundation we never skip.
We're a small team that works like an engineering shop: version control, tests, documentation, and systems you can actually maintain. Most engagements fall into one of three areas.
Foundation — Data & Analytics Engineering
The layer everything else stands on.
Analytics Engineering
A tested, documented transformation layer that defines every metric once — so the whole business stops arguing about the numbers.
Product Analytics
Instrument your product, own your event data, and turn behavior into decisions through clean tracking, segmentation, and trustworthy experiments.
Pillar 1 — Revenue Intelligence
Forecasts, models, and dashboards accurate enough to staff, stock, and plan against.
Revenue Forecasting Systems
Warehouse-native demand and revenue forecasting that refreshes on a schedule and is trusted enough to act on. We cut one operator's forecast error roughly in half across 50+ locations.
Production ML Systems
We take models from notebook to a tracked, retrainable, servable system a small team can run — baseline-first, interpretable, and right-sized to your problem.
Dashboards & BI as a Service
The full path from source data to dashboard, paired with the frameworks that get teams to actually trust and use the metrics.
Pillar 2 — AI Operations
An AI layer that reads unstructured inbound and turns it into the right routed action.
AI Operations & Workflow Automation
We take manual triage out of operations — classify the request, match the context, route the action, and keep a human on the ambiguous cases. One client saved 10+ hours a week across 300+ properties.
AI Copilots & Agentic Systems
Operational copilots and tool-using agents built on MCP architecture, vector memory, and multi-agent orchestration — production-grade systems that take real actions, with guardrails.
Dashboards & BI as a Service
The full path from source data to dashboard, paired with the frameworks that get teams to actually trust and use the metrics.
How We Work
We treat analytics like engineering.
Most growth-stage companies have more data than they can act on. The ones that win are the ones who build systems around it. That's what I do.

Testimonials
Richard Do Sanaye
"Gordon is an exceptional data scientist and a true partner. He analyzed 1B+ YouTube views … to identify what drives performance … he turned that analysis into clear, actionable insights. We shared his work on X, and it generated 200K+ views—several times higher than our average, which speaks to the quality of his insights"
David Raphael
"If you're looking for someone who can truly make a difference in the product and data domains, Gordon's your go-to person.
… Whether it was making sense of user data or planning our next product release, Gordon's industry know-how was invaluable."
Russ Wilcox
"Gordon has a knack for looking at data not just as numbers but as a narrative that informs business strategy. His critical thinking skills are evident in how he dissected complex data sets and turned them into understandable, usable insights that drove our decision-making processes forward."
Katherine Plumhoff
"Gordon worked with me on a data science project for a CPG startup that included pricing, bundling, and location forecasting aspects. He was the exact partner we were looking for — both willing and able to get into the nitty-gritty and to tell a higher-level story that was easy for founders to engage on."
David Arpin
"Gordon made significant contributions to the development and improvement of experimentation analytics tools, particularly focused on understanding the revenue impact of A/B tests [at Indeed] … His thoughtful approach and strong communication skills made him a valuable member of the team."

How We Work
About the team
A boutique agency … not a body shop.
We're outcome driven
The Data Strategist is a small, senior team that builds revenue intelligence and AI operations systems for startups and consumer businesses. We've shipped forecasting systems, AI automations, and analytics platforms for operators in hospitality, retail, restaurants, and media. We take a limited number of engagements at a time, which keeps the work senior, hands-on, and accountable to outcomes rather than billable hours.
Our experience
We've worked in data and business strategy across Hospitality, Retail, Restaurants, Consumer Tech, and Media.
