Data Intelligence

Prepare data that models and agents can genuinely use: fresh, correct, governed and traceable.

Why clients call us

The pattern is familiar. A promising AI pilot that does not survive contact with scale. The cause is rarely the model. It is that the data feeding it is stale, duplicated, unlineaged, or simply unreachable without a three-week extract request.

Data Intelligence is our answer, and it is deliberately an engineering offer. We build the ingestion, preparation, enrichment and refresh pipelines that make data AI-ready, we instrument them so you know when they drift, and we govern them so an auditor can follow the chain. We do not position ourselves as a data science practice. We make that work possible, and we are explicit about the line.

What we do

  • AI-ready data pipelinesIngestion, cleansing, deduplication, normalisation and enrichment, designed for a stated refresh frequency rather than a one-off extract.
  • Retrieval pipelines for assistantsDocument acquisition, chunking, metadata and access-control propagation for retrieval-augmented generation, including the permissions model, which is where most pilots quietly fail.
  • Freshness and correctness engineeringExplicit service levels on data age and error rate, measured continuously, because every downstream AI claim inherits both.
  • Model and agent observabilityMonitoring input drift, output quality signals and agent actions, closing the loop back to the pipeline that produced the input.
  • AI governance enablementDocumentation, lineage and control evidence for AI systems, aligned with the transparency and data governance expectations of the AI Act.
We build the ingestion, retrieval and refresh pipelines behind an AI system, with explicit service levels on data age and error rate. We do not build the models.

Buying triggers

  • An AI pilot that will not scale for lack of reliable data
  • An assistant rollout returning inconsistent answers
  • A retrieval project stuck on permissions or document freshness
  • Legal or risk questions about AI data provenance
  • Business users bypassing IT to build their own extracts

Technical foundation

  • IBM Watson
  • Microsoft 365 and Copilot integration
  • Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, Snowflake
  • Apache Kafka, Airflow
  • Denodo data virtualisation
  • Python, REST APIs, DB2, Oracle, MongoDB

Proof

Where this has already been delivered

Satisco LAB, internal

An assistant over 2,000 pages of technical documentation

Our own LAB built an AI assistant over more than 2,000 pages of IBM documentation to accelerate our engineers. It is a small, honest demonstration of the discipline we sell: a curated corpus, a controlled refresh, measurable usefulness.
