A growth-stage D2C brand with $20M in revenue was overspending on bottom-funnel channels due to last-click attribution. We implemented multi-touch attribution, built a marketing data warehouse, and delivered a unified dashboard — reducing CAC by 35% and improving ROAS to 2.1x
A $25M ARR B2B SaaS with 200 employees suffered from data silos, no single source of truth, and rising churn. We implemented a modern data stack, self-serve analytics, and a churn prediction model — improving net revenue retention from 95% to 108% in one quarter
A $12M ARR SaaS platform had zero product analytics and no A/B testing capability. We built their experimentation infrastructure from scratch — going from 0 to 15 experiments per month, improving activation rate by 23%, and cutting feature validation time by 40%
What our clients say
"We wanted to focus on business KPIs and get dashboards to transform the data into revenue. We chose Nikolay and his team because of the communication, responsiveness, and the ability to give their honest feedback."
The team performed their duties extremely professionally and efficiently. It's worth highlighting their flexible approach to resource allocation.

Thanks to the collaboration with Nick's team, Refocus…
"The Valiotti Data team has built an analytics infrastructure for Simple App. They analyzed all data streams, designed a data lake, developed microservices for statistics collection, deployed a Kafka cluster to achieve scalable and fail-safe streaming. Next, they deployed Clickhouse on AWS servers, as a solution for increased performance, configured marketing reports and analytics for…
"We’ve worked directly with Nikolay on multiple long and short-term projects. The results were outstanding!

Transparent pricing, no surprises
What does a typical engagement look like?
We start with a 4-week diagnostic sprint — understanding your data landscape, business goals, and quick wins. Then we execute: building infrastructure, creating dashboards, training your team. Most engagements run 3–6 months, ending with full knowledge transfer.
What's included in the monthly fee?
A dedicated senior data consultant (typically 2–3 days/week), data strategy, analytics engineering, dashboard development, team training, and documentation. No hidden costs or surprise invoices.
How is this different from a data agency?
Agencies sell hours. We solve problems. Our Fractional CDO embeds into your team, owns outcomes, and transfers knowledge. When we leave, your team is self-sufficient — not dependent on a vendor. See the full comparison →
What if I just need a one-time assessment?
Our Data Diagnostic is a standalone 4-week deep-dive into your data infrastructure, team, and processes. You get a prioritized roadmap, quick wins, and a clear picture of where you stand — no ongoing commitment required.
Do you work with startups or enterprise?
Our sweet spot is growth-stage companies ($5M–$100M revenue) that need senior data leadership but aren't ready for a full-time hire. We've also worked with enterprise teams that need a specific data capability built fast.
The problems we actually solve
Marketing can't prove ROI
Your marketing team runs campaigns but can't connect spend to revenue. Attribution is broken, CAC is a guess, and the board asks questions nobody can answer.
Product decisions are based on gut feeling
Your product team ships features without measuring impact. Funnel data lives in 3 different tools. Nobody knows actual retention or feature adoption rates.
Dashboards nobody trusts
You have dashboards, but the numbers don't match. Finance, marketing, and product each have their own "source of truth." Executives stopped looking at them months ago.
Data team is overwhelmed
Your one analyst drowns in ad-hoc requests. No data strategy, no priorities, no pipeline. Everyone's waiting on "the data person" to pull a number.
We're selective about
who we work with
Good fit
- $5M–$100M revenue, growth stage
- You need a senior data leader, not a junior analyst
- Data decisions are slow or politics-driven
- You've tried hiring but can't find the right person
- You're ready to invest in a 3–6 month engagement
Not the right fit
- You just need a dashboard built
- Looking for the cheapest hourly rate
- No executive sponsor for data initiatives
- Not ready to make organizational changes
- Need a permanent team member, not fractional
