SERVICE 06 · DATA AND PLATFORM

The data layer your AI actually needs

Techtiz builds the data foundation AI depends on: pipelines, warehouses, and observability with lineage and monitoring designed in rather than bolted on. We score your readiness before building and deliver in phases you can stop between.

THE CATEGORY PROBLEM

Every agent project becomes a data project.

The pattern repeats. An agent pilot works in the demo and fails in production because the data underneath is fragmented, stale, or unowned. Data readiness is consistently the top-named blocker in 2026 AI research, ahead of model capability by a wide margin. IDC finds organisations with high data readiness convert proofs of concept to production several times more often than those without. We build the layer first, or fix it mid-flight when a pilot has already stalled on it.

BEFORE ANYTHING GETS BUILT

The readiness score, before the build

The audit produces a scored map across 6 dimensions, each with the specific finding behind the score. You get the map whether or not you build with us.

Completeness

What is missing, and does it matter for the use case.

Freshness

How stale is the data at the point an agent would read it.

Access

Can a system get it without a human exporting a spreadsheet.

Lineage

Can you trace a number back to its source.

Ownership

Who is accountable when a field is wrong.

Sensitivity

What is personal, regulated, or contractually restricted.

What we built

Ingestion and transformation pipelines, plus lineage so you can trust what an agent reads .

A warehouse or lakehouse sized to the company, monitoring so you find out a pipeline broke before the agent does, and reporting layers your team can actually query.

Governance moves into the pipeline, not a policy filed after launch: PostgreSQL or a managed warehouse , incremental and idempotent loads, schema contracts at ingestion boundaries, freshness and volume tests on critical tables, alerting on test failure rather than on dashboard silence.

PHASED, SO YOU CAN STOP

Data work is where budgets disappear

Data work is where budgets disappear, because the scope is genuinely open-ended if nobody closes it. We phase it. Each phase has a named outcome, a fixed scope, and a stopping point where the work delivered so far still stands on its own. You decide at each boundary whether the next phase is worth it. If the answer after phase 1 is that your first use case is now unblocked and phase 2 can wait 2 quarters, that is a good outcome and we will say so.

ACCEPTANCE EVIDENCE, WRITTEN FIRST

How you will know it worked

Acceptance evidence is written before the phase starts. "The pipeline runs" is not acceptance evidence. "This number reconciles to source and the alert fires when it does not" is.

Named tables passing freshness and volume tests, on a schedule.

A specific query or agent retrieval returning correct results against a graded set.

Lineage traceable end to end for a named metric.

Alerting proven by a deliberate induced failure.

WHERE YOUR DATA GOES

Where the data physically sits

Pipelines and storage run in your cloud accounts, under your billing, unless you ask otherwise.

Engineering access is from Lahore, Pakistan, scoped per environment, logged, and revoked at exit.

Where a data class must remain in a jurisdiction, we design for it and state what our side touches.

Non-production work runs on de-identified or synthetic data wherever the use case allows it, and we tell you when it does not.

PII handling: classification first, then masking and access controls at the pipeline level, then a written data map you can hand to counsel or to a customer’s security reviewer.

The data map is a deliverable, not an internal document. If you cannot forward it, it is not finished.

SIZED TO THE COMPANY

Warehouse or lakehouse at your size

For most companies of 50 to 500 people, a warehouse on PostgreSQL or a managed equivalent is the right answer until data variety genuinely forces the question. Lakehouse architectures solve a problem most mid-market companies do not have yet, at an operational cost most mid-market teams cannot staff. We size to the company, not to the vendor deck. If your situation genuinely calls for a lakehouse, the audit will show why in your own numbers.

WHAT WE WILL NOT DO

The no list

Build a warehouse before there is a named use case for it. A warehouse with no consumer is a monthly bill.

Migrate a platform because the current one is unfashionable.

Move regulated data across a boundary we should not move it across.

Ship a pipeline without tests and alerting. An unmonitored pipeline is a future incident with a delay fuse.

Ownership

Your repositories, your IP, assigned on payment, from day 1.

Exit

30 days notice on anything monthly. Handover runbook included, not quoted separately.

Overlap

4+ hours of daily overlap with your working day, contractual.

Boundary

Work performed in Lahore by Techtiz personnel under a US-formed Wyoming LLC. Regulated data classes stay on your side and we design around that.

Named engineer

1 senior engineer accountable for the estimate, on the first call.

Sourced claims

Every non-obvious statistic on this site carries a named third-party source and a date.

For U.S. SLED prime contractors

Reporting and analytics layers, behind the prime.

For SLED scope under NAICS 518210, we build governed analytics layers as your subcontractor, with PII handled to standard, never facing the agency.

NAICS 518210 541512 541511
See SLED Subcontracting

NDA-first, subcontract-only. We work behind the prime, under your brand. We do not pursue prime contracts and we never face the agency.

Parallel analytics layer. ELT runs without altering operational databases, so live applications stay fast.

Lineage you can show. Transparent data lineage, tested pipelines, and strict handling of personally identifiable information.

FAQ

The questions you were going to ask

How long before this unblocks anything?

Phase 1 is scoped to unblock 1 named use case. If the audit says that takes longer than a quarter, you hear it in the audit, before you commit to delivery.

Where does our data go?

Your cloud accounts, your billing. Access from Lahore, scoped and logged, revoked at exit.

Will this actually fix our AI problem?

The audit answers that specifically, including the case where data is not your blocker and something else is. That answer is worth the audit on its own.

Can you fix pipelines you did not build?

Yes, and sometimes the recommendation is repair rather than rebuild, which is the less profitable answer for us.

Warehouse or lakehouse?

Usually a warehouse at your size. We size to the company, not to the vendor deck.
