Our Process
We start with a discovery to uncover desired capabilities across the organization, and make recommendations on the data infrastructure required to deliver those capabilities.
It all starts with the discovery
At Brooklyn Data, the discovery is the foundation of an implementation project. It helps everyone to align on your organization’s goals so we can partner on building data capabilities that last.
Collaborative approach
We meet stakeholders where they are. We’ll go deep into the technical details with your engineers and we’ll focus more on strategy and use cases with your non-technical stakeholders.
Experience, not assumptions
We use our experience to craft recommendations based on your organization’s needs. We are tool agnostic and will help you implement cost-effective, adaptable infrastructure.
Comprehensive summary
We capture your data needs and our recommendations in a report designed to be read by a wide range of stakeholder groups. Our clients often share the discovery report with their investors, leadership, engineers, analysts, and stakeholders.
Seamless transition to implementation
The same Brooklyn Data team members that partner with you during the discovery phase will lead your implementation, and they'll have all the context needed to hit the ground running.

We'll identify key themes from stakeholder interviews and our discovery process, and create recommendations tailored to your organization’s goals.
We'll deliver an editable report and present findings to relevant stakeholder groups.
We'll begin implementing recommendations from the discovery based on your feedback. We like to move fast!
FAQ
Discovery typically take between 2 and 8 weeks depending on your organization size and the scope of the discovery.
The final output of the discovery is an editable report (Microsoft Word or Google Docs). We are happy to create additional outputs, such as a slide-based presentation if needed.
We view discovery and implementation as two tightly integrated phases of a single project. In order to enable a smooth transition between the phases we require all discoveries to be paired with an implementation.
We suggest starting a project when you begin to feel the limitations of your current data capabilities. This could take the form of data discrepancies, manual workflows, limits in reporting granularity, or the inability to personalize marketing.
