Dunedin businesses don't need another generic AI pitch. AI data analytics only earns its keep when it's built around the workflow you actually run on a wet Tuesday, and that's how we scope every engagement we take on in Otago.

Talk to us about this →How we build AI data analytics for a Dunedin team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Dunedin business, so value lands before the build is finished. Ask your data in English.

Questions
FAQ
How quickly can we see something running?
Week three for a clickable internal demo against real data. Week six for a slice your team can actually use. We hold ourselves to those numbers because they're what stops a project drifting into "endless discovery".
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for Dunedin 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.
Anyone else in this space using AI data analytics?
Plenty. Owners check the business in 2 minutes instead of 2 hours. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" – it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
What tools do you build AI data analytics on?
For AI data analytics we usually reach for DuckDB, Claude, Metabase, BigQuery, Vercel AI SDK. We're tool-agnostic at heart – we pick what your Dunedin team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.
