AI data analytics in Cromwell.
AI data analytics that lives in your stack, not on a vendor's roadmap. Shipped from Central Otago.
How the work runs
We find the one workflow costing Cromwell businesses the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
Nearly half of New Zealand's export cherries come from the Cromwell Basin. When picking starts, AI keeps orders, staff and export paperwork moving.
An AI agency, minus the theatre.

Business in Cromwell.
Horticulture is a mainstay of Central Otago, and nearly half of New Zealand's export cherries are grown in the Cromwell Basin.
Central Otago is the most southerly wine region, and most of its plantings are Pinot Noir.
Small crew or big organisation, the busywork is the same :)
The questions a public sector buyer asks, answered up front: privacy impact, the NZISM, where the data lives and how an algorithm is held to account.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
What AI data analytics actually do
Stop digging through dashboards. With the right workflow automated, nine hours of admin a week could drop to about one.*
*Illustrative example only, based on 9 hours a week of admin falling to about 1 hour a week. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
The shape of the result for Cromwell teams: Owners check the business in 2 minutes instead of 2 hours. Built on DuckDB, hardened with the rest of the stack as it scales. Kiwi Dynamics
Questions Cromwell businesses ask
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for Cromwell businesses that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.
What if our Cromwell doesn't have any data ready?
Most don't. Getting the data into shape - ingestion, cleaning, the lightweight contracts you need before any model is useful - is part of the engagement. For AI data analytics specifically, we typically run that work on DuckDB, Claude, Metabase, BigQuery, Vercel AI SDK and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes - on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. Owners check the business in 2 minutes instead of 2 hours.
How does this fit the Public Service AI Framework?
The framework, led by the Government Chief Digital Officer, asks for safe, transparent and accountable AI. Agencies that sign the Algorithm Charter also commit to transparency in how they use algorithms.
Can it keep track of ACC levies?
Yes. ACC work levies are set by the classification unit your work falls under, and self-employed people are invoiced after filing their tax return.
