Pattern Study

Same Spine. Two Budgets.

One medallion architecture serves the legal budget and the P&L budget. You do not sell a lakehouse — you sell a number that traces. Medallion is the machine that makes that true.

Why This Is GTM, Not Data Engineering

One Picture, Three Buyers

The engineer sees tiers. The CISO sees lineage and RBAC. The CFO sees Gold KPIs. Same diagram — no translation deck required.

The Audit Question Becomes a Demo

“Show me where this number came from” is a click through Gold → Silver → Bronze — not a six-week evidence pack.

Change the Payload, Keep the Spine

Sources and Gold products swap per vertical; the architecture stays. Ten Blueprints, one machine — that is what makes it transferable.

Light-Touch Delivery

I architect the spine and the lineage contract. Your platform team owns the Spark jobs, the CDC streams, and the catalog.

If one architecture should be closing two budgets for you — let's sit the room.

Schedule Executive Briefing

07 — Engage

If the motion is stuck in the rooms that matter.

Engagements are selective and limited — a team to execute is required. Investment is scoped after the briefing; the work is sprints and retained counsel, not hours.

30-minute fit assessment. We identify the must-win room, the technical objection, the decision-maker, and the smallest engagement that creates evidence.
