Practical data consultancy for housing organisations

I help organisations understand, improve, and use their data, with a focus on stock, reporting, migration, enrichment, quality, and governance.

Whether the issue is messy data, unclear reporting definitions, migration risk, external dataset enrichment, or a wider data maturity challenge, I can help diagnose the problem and shape a practical route forward.

Practical data support for housing organisations

I help providers understand, improve, and use their data; from discovery and data quality work through to tailored analysis, reporting, and long-term governance improvements.

Data discovery and problem diagnosis

Support for providers facing unclear, inconsistent, or hard-to-trust data. I help identify the root causes, map the current process, clarify ownership, and recommend practical fixes.

  • Data quality reviews
  • Process and system mapping
  • Issue diagnosis and root-cause analysis
  • Practical remediation plans

Stock data quality and clean-up

Experience resolving stock-related data challenges, such as migration preparation, reconciliation, clean-up, and the creation of data dictionaries.

  • Stock data reconciliation
  • Migration readiness support
  • Data clean-up and validation logic
  • Reporting definitions and controls

Custom analysis and intelligence reporting

Tailored analysis and reporting for providers who require evidence for strategic, operational, or board-level decisions.

  • Provider intelligence reports
  • Local area and market analysis
  • Board-ready reporting outputs
  • Bespoke analytical models

Data enrichment and external datasets

Use of internal and external datasets to strengthen analysis.

  • EPC and retrofit-related analysis
  • UPRN and OS data enrichment
  • Asset hierarchy and building structure analysis
  • Local area context and risk indicators

Data maturity and governance guidance

Help organisations strengthen the strategy, oversight, ownership, and accountability needed to manage data as a high-value organisational asset, improving the reliability, consistency, and long-term sustainability of reporting and decision-making.

  • Data maturity reviews
  • Governance frameworks
  • Data ownership and accountability
  • Long-term improvement roadmaps

Specialist network support

Where a problem needs additional expertise, I can help shape the requirements and connect you with capable specialists from my wider network.

  • Requirement shaping
  • Technical scoping
  • Trusted specialist referrals
  • Support across wider data projects

Not sure where the issue really sits?

Many data problems do not begin with a neatly defined trajectory. They begin with inconsistent reports, messy stock records, unclear ownership, migration risks, or teams working around systems. I can help investigate the issue, identify the real point of failure and define the most useful next step, whether that is analytical, technical, governance-led or a combination.

How I Work

A practical route from problem to improvement

01

Discuss the problem

We start with the issue you are trying to solve, whether that is poor reporting confidence, stock data quality, enrichment, governance, or a specific question.

02

Run focused discovery

When required, I carry out a short discovery phase to understand the data, systems, definitions, processes and constraints before proposing a practical way forward. This is often the most useful step, as it identifies the real point of failure and shapes the right response.

03

Design the response

We shape an agreed approach based on the focused discovery, or supplied specifications. This could be a one-off piece of analysis, a longer-term reporting solution, or a governance framework and improvement roadmap.

04

Implement and assess

We put the plan into practice, review the outputs, and assess whether the change is solving the underlying problem or if the approach needs refining. We work in a practical way to avoid over-engineering and ensure the change is sustainable for the long term.

05

Offer follow-up support

Where useful, I can provide light follow-up support to help refine the approach, respond to new questions, and identify sensible next steps once the initial work is in place.

Let us discuss the problem

If you are working through a housing data issue, need a clearer reporting approach or want to explore Provider Intelligence, I am happy to talk it through and suggest a suitable next step.
