Data Argo is a small UK studio. We build data products — ours, and our clients'. Pipelines that don't fall over at 3am. Warehouses with a full audit trail. Intelligence products that turn messy media into clean, structured signal.
Same discipline, same standards, whether the product is ours or yours.
An intelligence product that turns messy procurement data into clean, structured signal. Built on the same patterns as ShillBoard — extract carefully, stage before trusting, audit everything.
Follow progress in the journal →Board-level, team-level, programme-level. Where you need to be, and a credible route there — with the constraints named up front.
Rigour. Observability. Documentation. So the platform still works two years after we've left — run by your team, not by us.
Extraction pipelines and entity resolution that turn messy media — articles, transcripts, reports — into structured signal your business can actually use.
Working in the open. Method, mistakes, and the occasional receipt.
What I found when I went to check what an AI agent had actually built.
Read the report →These aren't values on a wall. They're how we decide what to take on, and how we know when something we've built is finished.
If we don't know how to do something, we say so. If a deadline is unrealistic, we say so. If a platform choice will bite in eighteen months, we say so. Honest scoping is the foundation everything else rests on.
The real test isn’t handover day — it’s whether your team can still run it in eighteen months. Rigour, observability, and documentation built in from the start.
Nothing is approximate. If a number goes in a report, we know where it came from and who owns it. If a platform choice gets made, we can tell you why. The quality of the thinking is evident in the detail of the work — in the schema, in the docs, in the tests nobody asked for.
