One person, one problem.
A specialist who owns the thing that's currently nobody's job.
Good if you're
- A startup or founder-led business
- Small, and hiring feels premature
- Fixing one specific thing first
Build the team you need without building the overhead you don't. Data, reporting, marketing, software and automation - handled by a small group of people who learn your business and stay with it.
What most of our clients start with
Names are illustrative. You meet the real people before you commit.
Change the teamNobody really owns the numbers. Three people pull three versions and none of them match.
Usually solved by one analyst and a proper reporting setup.My best person spends half their week copying things between spreadsheets.
Usually solved by automation, in the first month.I'd hire for this, but I can't justify a full salary and I don't know who to look for.
Usually solved by starting with a Nano team.You don't need a department. You need two or three good people and something that runs without being watched.
Build that team→Tap any of the underlined words to change them. No forms, no pricing calculator - just the shape of the team and what it would take off your plate.

For a growing business
Big companies set up their own offshore teams - an office, a legal entity, a recruiting function, two years of patience. You get the same thing at your size, from week one, without any of that.
A specialist who owns the thing that's currently nobody's job.
Enough people to cover a whole area properly, without a department to manage.
A lead, several specialists and a rhythm you can plan around.
These are examples, not fixed packages. Every team is put together around your actual work.
Most growing companies end up with a dashboard freelancer, a marketing agency, a dev shop and someone's cousin who knows automation. Nobody sees the whole picture, and the numbers never agree.
Everything you need to turn what your business already records into decisions you can defend.
Every team we build comes with automation included - not as an upsell, and not as a demo. It quietly handles the repetitive half of the work so the people you're paying for spend their time on judgement.
A three-person team here gets through the work of a much larger one. Not because the people are working harder - because the boring part isn't done by people any more.
Automation isn't a project that finishes. Systems change, a supplier switches format, someone adds a step. We build the workflows and then we keep them alive - that second part is the whole job.
You don't need to buy new software or clean anything up first. Most of what's valuable is already sitting in systems that don't talk to each other - including the messy spreadsheet everyone relies on and nobody wants to touch.
Send it to us as it is. That's the job.
Someone in your business is spending Monday morning rebuilding last week's report. That's the thing we take away first.

A short written view of what to do about it this week
Most dashboard projects end at handover. Three months later the definitions have drifted, one feed is broken and nobody quite trusts it any more.
We don't hand over. The same people keep it running, answer new questions as they come up, and fix things before you notice - because it's their job, every week, not a project with an end date.
If your reporting only works when one particular person is in the office, it doesn't work.
Why this service existsThe market keeps selling you tools. Tools need someone to run them, and that someone is usually your most capable person - for whom it isn't really their job.
We build it, we run it, we improve it. You get the output and your Monday back.
AI writes a lot of code now. It doesn't decide what to build, own the launch, or pick up the phone when something breaks. Our teams do both halves.
Pick yours and see what we'd usually start with.
"We know the line had a bad week. We find out on Monday, from a spreadsheet, if someone remembers to send it."
Your machines and systems record an enormous amount. Almost none of it reaches the people who could act on it in time to matter.
A short conversation about your business, what's not getting done, and what needs to be true in six months.
20 minutes
Named roles, what each person owns, what it costs. If a smaller team will do, we'll say so.
Within a week
Then we get access to your systems and learn how your business actually works - not how the org chart says it does.
Week two
You get weekly output and a monthly review. The team stays the same team, so the context builds instead of resetting.
Ongoing
Our people are in India - that's how you get this quality of team at this size and price. But you shouldn't have to think about that day to day.
Teams overlap with your working day, join your calls, use your tools, and are named people you'll actually get to know. Not a ticket queue, and not a different person every month.
Teams shift their hours to match yours. If you need someone on your 9am call, they're on your 9am call.
Small enough that the founders are in the room. Experienced enough to have run this at a scale you'd recognise.
Chief Executive Officer
Vaishali has spent over ten years in analytics and AI, leading delivery teams of more than 200 people. She built NumbersMatters around a problem she kept running into: the companies that most need a data team are usually the least able to hire one. She runs the client side of the business - what we take on, and who we put on it.
LinkedIn →Chief Technology Officer
Abhijeet has over a decade in AI and analytics engineering, and has led technical teams of 200-plus. He owns how the work actually gets built here - the data platforms, the automation, and the judgement call on where AI earns its place and where it doesn't. If something we built is still running quietly two years later, that's his standard.
LinkedIn →Everything in this section is a placeholder. No client names, logos, numbers or quotes have been invented for this mockup.
A freelancer works on your task. A team works on your business. Ours learn how you operate, keep notes, cover for each other when someone's away, and have a lead who's accountable for the whole thing rather than just their own hours.
The practical difference shows up in month four, when a freelancer has moved on and your team is still here with all the context.
It depends on the roles and the size, so we won't pretend there's a single number on a page. As a rough shape: a Nano team usually costs less than one mid-level hire in the US or UK, and a Mini team less than two.
You'll get a written figure after the first conversation, before you commit to anything.
No. Engagements run month to month with notice, or as a fixed-scope project if you'd rather test us on something small first. Plenty of clients start that way.
No - and if it were sorted, you probably wouldn't need us. Send it as it is. Untangling it is the first part of the job, not a prerequisite.
Signed NDAs, named individuals rather than a shared pool, least-privilege access, and whatever your security review requires. If your business needs a specific arrangement for data location or compliance, we'll work to it.
Tell us early. We'll change the person, change the shape of the team, or tell you honestly that we're not the right fit. Every engagement has a monthly review, which exists precisely so this conversation happens before it becomes a problem.
That's the design. Most clients begin with one or two people on one problem, and add roles once they can see it working. Going the other way is fine too.
