Sound familiar?

Your data should drive decisions.
Instead, it's driving you mad.

Most mid-market companies we meet share the same frustrations. If any of these sound like your Monday morning, we should talk.

Reporting takes days, not minutes

Manually stitching spreadsheets from five systems for every board meeting. Always late, never quite right.

Data platform costs keep climbing

No visibility into what drives compute spend. Costs grow every quarter and nobody can explain why.

One person holds it all together

Your entire data pipeline depends on one engineer. If they leave, you're exposed. That's not architecture, that's risk.

You bought the tech, not the strategy

Platform half-built, under-used, and the board is asking where the ROI is. You don't have an answer.

Which one are you?

Three paths.
One clear next step.

Every data journey is different. Tell us where you are and we'll show you exactly how we can help.

01 Simplify

Starting your data journey

Legacy systems, messy data, no clear strategy. Sound familiar?

  • Data spread across siloed legacy systems with no single source of truth
  • No unified data strategy or roadmap to guide what comes next
  • Board demanding better reporting and forecasting from your team
  • You know you need to act but don't know where to start
02 Save

Already have a data platform

It runs. Barely. Costs are unclear. Pipelines keep breaking.

  • Platform is live but poorly architected and hard to maintain
  • Compute costs growing month on month with no visibility
  • Pipelines breaking, patches on top of patches everywhere
  • One engineer holding the whole thing together alone
03 Scale

Scaling fast, data first

When growth outpaces architecture, mistakes get costly.

  • AI or SaaS business scaling rapidly beyond current systems
  • Data volumes growing faster than your infrastructure can handle
  • Need architecture that won't need rebuilding in 12 months
  • Speed matters, but so does getting the foundation right

"Within one hour, Layke's team identified problems we'd been trying to fix for six months. They didn't just audit our setup. They showed us exactly what was costing us money and gave us a clear plan to fix it. For the first time, I could explain our data strategy to the board with confidence."

Your team is probably already using AI informally. Irish workers report using unapproved AI tools on personal accounts to handle workloads their employer hasn't equipped them for. The gap isn't ambition. It's a clear first step.

Built for business owners who know their team is already using ChatGPT on personal accounts, with no oversight, and want to know where the real opportunities are before someone makes an expensive mistake with company data.

We map your systems, surface what's already happening under the radar, and leave you with a prioritised, practical next step. Five days. One fixed price.

What happens, and when

Day 1
Discover
A focused call with you. We walk through your systems, the workflows that eat the most time, and where your team is already using AI tools off the books.
Day 2-3
Map & Diagnose
We map data across your core systems and build a clear picture of what's usable, what's messy, and where shadow AI is creating risk you can't see.
Day 4
Prioritise
We score opportunities by effort vs impact and cut the noise. Two or three things that actually move the needle for a business your size.
Day 5
Roadmap
A findings session in plain English. You leave with a written summary, a governance quick-fix, and one clear recommended next step.
€2,950
Fixed-fee Sprint. No surprises or hidden costs.
Deliverable on Day 5. Yours to act on, with or without us.

Why Layke

Not a consultancy.
Your data & AI partner.

We're not here to write a report and disappear. We start small, move fast, and stick around after it's live. It's all built on Databricks, but you're working with us, not them.

Senior people, not juniors

You get the people who've scaled data platforms at enterprise level. Not graduates reading a playbook. We've done this before.

Irish-owned, Irish-focused

Based in Dublin. We understand your market, your regulations, and your pace. You're not a ticket number in a global queue.

We stay after go-live

Most consultancies hand over a document and disappear. We offer managed support so your platform stays optimised long after the assessment.

One use case, fixed price

No big transformation projects. Every engagement starts with a fixed price, clear scope, and a deliverable you can act on. No surprises.

Business outcomes, not tech jargon

We translate data problems into language your CFO, COO, and board actually understand. Our deliverables are built for the people making decisions.

Fast time to value

5 days to a prioritised roadmap. Not 5 months. We compress timelines because we've done this before and we know what matters first.
