Data Consulting

mttn is a digital systems studio in Livonia, Michigan that builds data systems for manufacturers, distributors, and sales teams. We turn three spreadsheets that all say something different into one number everyone trusts.

Most operations teams don’t have a data problem because they lack data. They have one because it lives in three places, gets pulled by hand, and disagrees with itself by the time it reaches a meeting. We build the pipeline and the dashboard so that stops happening.

Best for

Teams that report from three spreadsheets and still argue about the numbers. If your Monday meeting starts with “whose number is right,” that’s the problem we solve.

What we build

• Data systems for better reporting and faster, better-informed decisions.
• Cleanup and structure for messy data, turned into something people can actually use.
• Dashboards and reports that make performance easy to track, without a manual pull every week.
• Metric definitions, so a team measures the same thing the same way every time.

How it works

1. Discovery call. A free, no-obligation call. You walk us through where your numbers come from and where they disagree. We tell you honestly what’s worth fixing first.
2. Scoped pilot. We build one clean pipeline against real data, with a clear result you can check. It’s a fixed-scope, fixed-price pilot, so you know the cost before we begin.
3. Build and integrate. We connect the pipeline to the systems you already report from.
4. Run and improve. We host and maintain what we build. We keep watching it and tuning it as your data changes.

Data consulting and Synthetic Data are related but different. If your data work is about reporting on what already happened, this page is the right service. If it’s about generating data to train or validate a model, see Synthetic Data.

Example

The following is a plausible example to illustrate the work, not a real client engagement. A manufacturer pulls production numbers from the ERP, quality notes from a separate spreadsheet, and shipping data from a third system, then someone manually reconciles all three into a Monday report. One clean pipeline replaces the manual pull: it feeds a single dashboard the plant manager opens every morning. One set of numbers. Decisions made the same day, not the same week.

FAQs

Does our data leave our building?

By default it runs on our own hardware in Michigan, not a public AI cloud. If it must stay on-site, we can set it up on your own machines. We run our own models on our own hardware, and we help clients set up their own local AI.

How long does a first project take?

Most first projects ship in 4 to 8 weeks. Every engagement starts with a discovery call, so we can give you a real estimate before you commit to anything.

What does it cost?

Every first project is a fixed-scope, fixed-price pilot, so you know the cost before we begin. We give you a number after the discovery call, not before it.
