We're a small shop
on purpose.
Lantern Data is one analyst, a warehouse, and a stubborn habit of asking what a number is actually for before drawing it. No sales floor, no reseller quotas, no dashboard you'll never open.
It began with somebody else's Monday report.
The founder spent nine years as the person inside operations teams who got handed the messy exports — the POS dump that disagreed with the accounting export, the ad numbers nobody could reconcile with the bank. Every Monday there was a report to rebuild by hand, and every Monday it was slightly wrong.
Lantern Data exists to end that ritual for other people. We clean the data once, put it somewhere sane, and wire the report so it builds itself. Then you get your Mondays back.
We've stayed deliberately small. One analyst who maps your data is the same one who builds it and hands it over — the person who learned your definitions doesn't disappear before the work ships.
See what a build costs →Four rules we don't bend, even when it costs us the upsell.
Your data lives in your account.
We build the warehouse inside your cloud, under your login. If you ever fire us, nothing walks out the door with the analyst. That's the point.
Fixed scope, fixed price.
We quote a defined piece of work and hand it back finished. No hourly meter running in the background, no surprise change orders halfway through a build.
Fewer numbers, chosen carefully.
A dashboard with forty metrics is a place to hide, not to decide. We show the four or five figures that actually change what you'd do next — and cut the rest.
We'll talk you out of it if it's overkill.
Some problems are a $40 spreadsheet template, not a $9,000 warehouse. If that's your situation, we'll say so on the first call and point you at the template.
One person, from scoping call to handoff.
There's no account manager relaying your questions to someone you never meet. The analyst who sits with your team the first week is the one who writes the pipelines, builds the views, and walks you through them at handoff.
That means the person on the phone already knows why your “revenue” number and your accountant's “revenue” number never matched. Small has a cost — we can only take a handful of builds at a time — but it's why nothing gets lost in translation.
