Hey New York City — I know you're busy. You've probably clicked through a few of these city pages, and they all kinda sound the same. 'We're here to revolutionize your business with cutting-edge solutions!' Yada yada. Not my style. I'm a solo operator, A.I. Consulting LLC, based out of Florida, and I specialize in giving small and medium businesses real, actionable insights from their data, without all the usual fluff. I get it; you’ve got data sitting there, maybe in a spreadsheet, maybe in a few different systems, and you just want to make sense of it. You want to know what’s working, what isn’t, and where you can make a buck. That’s what I do. No big teams, no fancy overhead, just me, getting to the bottom of your numbers for your New York City business.
Okay, so if you're looking for someone to build you a fancy dashboard that actually tells you something useful, or to set up some reports that don't take you three days to compile every month, you're in the right place. I’ve spent years pulling apart data, finding the patterns, and making it understandable for folks who aren't data scientists. For New York City, that often means helping a local e-commerce shop understand their customer churn, or a service provider optimize their scheduling by looking at historical demand.
## What I actually do for New York City clients
Mostly, I dive into your existing data to find the answers to specific business questions. This could be anything from figuring out why sales dipped last quarter to identifying your most profitable customer segments. I build custom dashboards using tools like Power BI or Tableau, create automated reports, and sometimes, I even build simple predictive models. Think 'what's the likelihood of this customer buying again?' or 'how much inventory should I really have next month?'
It’s not about just dumping a bunch of charts on you. My goal is to give you something you can use tomorrow to make a better decision. For example, I might take all your customer data, clean it up, and then build a customer lifetime value model, or help you track key performance indicators in real-time so you aren't waiting until month-end to see how things are going. It’s practical, actionable stuff.
## How a New York City engagement usually goes
1. **Initial Chat (1-2 hours):** We'll hop on a call. You tell me what's bugging you, what data you have, and what you're hoping to achieve. I'll ask a lot of questions. This is free, obviously.
2. **Proposal & Plan (1 week):** Based on our chat, I'll put together a clear, fixed-fee proposal outlining exactly what I'm gonna do, what you'll get, and the timeline. No surprises.
3. **Data Dive & Build (3-6 weeks):** Once you say go, I'll get access to your data (securely, of course) and start the analysis and build process. We'll have regular check-ins, probably weekly, to make sure I'm on the right track. This is where the magic happens, or at least the hard work.
4. **Delivery & Hand-off (1 week):** I present the findings, the dashboard, the reports, whatever we agreed upon. I'll walk you through how to use it, answer questions, and make sure you're comfortable. I'll also provide documentation so you aren't left in the lurch.
## What it costs, roughly
Look, I'm not gonna pretend this is cheap, but it's also not 'hire a consulting firm for a million dollars' expensive. Most projects I take on are fixed-fee, ranging anywhere from a few thousand dollars for a focused report to ten thousand or more for a more comprehensive dashboard or predictive model build. It really depends on the complexity of your data and what you want to get out of it. I aim for transparency here, so we'll agree on a price upfront, and that's what you pay.
## Who I'm usually NOT a fit for
I'm a solo operator, remember? So, I'm probably not the right fit if you're a massive corporation with petabytes of data and need a team of 50 people working on a project for a year. I also don't do ongoing IT support or manage your existing data infrastructure. My sweet spot is small to medium businesses in New York City who have some data, a clear problem they want to solve with it, and are looking for a direct, no-nonsense approach.
## Getting in touch
If any of this sounds like what you're looking for, or if you just want to talk through a data problem, I'm always happy to chat. No pressure, no sales pitch. Just a conversation to see if I can help your New York City business make better sense of its data. Feel free to book a 20-min call.
FAQs — New York City
How do I know if I even need data analytics for my New York City business?
If you're making business decisions based purely on gut feeling, or if you spend hours manually compiling reports every month, you likely need some help. Analytics can show you clear trends and give you concrete numbers to back up your strategies.
What kind of data do you usually work with?
I work with all sorts: sales data, customer databases, marketing campaign results, website analytics, financial records, inventory logs. If you've got it stored digitally, chances are I can work with it.
Do I need special software or tools for you to do your work?
Not necessarily. I can often work with data directly from spreadsheets or your existing business software. I'm proficient in tools like Power BI, Tableau, and various database systems, but you don't need to own them to get started.
What does the first two weeks of an engagement look like?
After our initial chat and a signed agreement, the first two weeks are usually about me securely gaining access to your data, understanding its structure, and beginning the initial clean-up and exploration. We'll have regular check-ins to confirm I'm on the right track.
Can you integrate data from different systems for my New York City company?
Yes, absolutely. A common request is to bring together data from various sources – like your CRM, accounting software, and e-commerce platform – into one unified view so you can see the whole picture without juggling multiple reports.
