## What We Do

### Data Advisory — Clarity before complexity
We assess your current state and define a practical path forward. Advisory aligns priorities, ownership, and capability so delivery lands and outcomes stick. Pain points addressed: talent gaps, process confusion, technology ROI, and competitive pressure from Gen AI.

### Data Platforms — Built to last, built to scale
We design and deliver modern data platforms using Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, Snowflake, Azure Synapse, and dbt. Four delivery phases: Business Definition & Platform Design, Prototype Build, Production Deployment, Operate & Iterate.

### Data Management — Trust and governance by design
We embed governance, quality, and lineage into day-to-day operations. We implement Microsoft Purview, metadata frameworks, data quality programs, master data management, and data literacy programs.

### Advanced Analytics & AI — Insight and activation
We apply advanced analytics and AI to support prediction, optimisation, and decision-making. We help organisations move through analytics maturity levels from descriptive to generative AI, with governance embedded from day one.

## Engagement Models

- Advisory: We help you plan it — assess current state, advise on improvement, equip your team
- Integrated Consulting: We do it with you — blended team, statement of work delivery
- Projects: We do it for you — Intelligen technical leadership and cross-functional squad

## Accelerators

- Snowflake Health Check, Snowflake Quick Start, SnowFlow
- dbt Health Check, dbt Quick Start, dbt Core to Cloud
- Data Mesh Assessment, Data Lakehouse Assessment
- Data Governance Accelerator

## AI Governance — AI Centre of Excellence & AI Seatbelt

### The Problem
Organisations are deploying AI faster than they are governing it. ASIC has flagged agentic AI as a critical emerging consumer risk. The EU AI Act carries penalties of up to 35 million euros or 7% of global annual turnover. Australia's National AI Plan signals mandatory guardrails are coming.

### AI Centre of Excellence (AI CoE)
Intelligen helps organisations stand up responsible AI governance: operating model design, risk classification frameworks, policy development, and toolkits for evaluating and scaling AI safely.

### AI Seatbelt
Model and tooling agnostic reference architecture for enterprise AI safety:
- Immutable, cryptographic decision logs for regulatory defensibility
- Real-time behavioural monitoring with intervention (circuit-breakers)
- Sanctioned action boundaries — technically enforced, not just instructed
- Continuous drift detection
- Human escalation pathways — documented, operational, tested

Works regardless of existing vendor and model choices.
