Fractional head of data · specialty finance, solar & home services

Three systems.
Three answers.
One number.

Your CRM, your sales tools, and your commission math each report a different close rate. I build the reconciliation layer underneath them, so leadership runs the company on one number everyone can trust instead of arguing about whose report is right.

45 minutes, free. Leave knowing your #1 bottleneck and one 30-day move to fix it.

How to start

Start with the review. Fix what it finds.

Start with a free Data Bottleneck Review, or go straight to a paid engagement if the problem's already clear. The review names the bottleneck — the work below fixes it.

Start here · Data Bottleneck Review

A free, 45-minute working session. We walk through 15 questions across the five places data work gets stuck — conflicting numbers, spreadsheet risk, key-person risk, scale, and AI-readiness — name your #1 bottleneck, and leave you one 30-day move. It's a directional read, not a technical audit.

Then: three ways to fix what it finds

Scoping Blueprint

$3,000 flatFixed 2-week scope

The first paid phase of the build: I document what's broken, define what needs to change, and hand you a delivery plan with scope, price, and timeline. Credited toward the build if you continue.

  • Workflow map of your current data operations
  • Data source inventory with quality assessment
  • Top 3 highest-impact opportunities ranked
  • Prioritized build roadmap + one review round

How it works

60 – 90 days, start to ship

Diagram the systems, the data, the stuck places. Pick one painful thing to fix first.

03

Ship

Weeks 2–8: build, test, and deploy. Demo every Friday. No ceremony.

04

Hand off

Docs, runbook, and training. Your team owns it when I leave.

05

Stay close

Optional retainer for iteration. Most clients keep one.

David Hyde
About

One operator. Four domains. Ten years of shipping.

I'm David Hyde. I started in operations on Goldman Sachs' margin-lending desk and spent the decade since building the reporting and risk layer operators actually run on — most recently the reconciliation and loan-scoring stack for a specialty-finance fund, with forecasting, BI, and automation for solar, behavioral-health, and sports teams along the way.

I don't do decks. I write the pipeline, ship the dashboard, and train your team to own it. When I leave, the tool stays.
