Our services in detail

Pūtaiao raraunga

Māori Data Science

We analyse, model and visualise your data in ways that respect te ao Māori — surfacing patterns that inform strategy without flattening the stories behind the numbers.

Mana raraunga

Māori Data Governance

Clear policies, roles and tikanga so data is cared for as a taonga — accountable, transparent, and trusted by the whānau it represents.

Rangatiratanga raraunga

Māori Data Sovereignty

We help you assert control over your data — where it lives, who can access it, and how it serves your aspirations as tangata whenua.

Hoahoa pūnaha

Systems & Process Design

Practical, scalable systems and workflows — designed with your team so they’re sustainable, intuitive and genuinely yours to run.

Kaupapa whānau

Whānau-centred commissioning services

Whānau-centred commissioning that puts whānau and communities in the lead — services shaped around local needs, and whānau backed to set and achieve their own aspirations. We build self-determination that lasts.

Te rerekētanga · The difference

A different way of working

Most data consultancies leave you dependent on them. We’re built to do the opposite.

He pātai · Common questions

Answers before you ask

A few of the questions partners raise most often. Can’t see yours? Whakapā mai.

No. We partner with government, public-sector, philanthropic and hapori organisations alike. What every engagement shares is a commitment to handling data with integrity and care — kaupapa Māori practice benefits everyone.

In practical terms, it’s about who holds authority over data that relates to Māori — where it’s stored, who can access it, and how it’s used. We help you assess your current position and design clear, defensible arrangements that align with recognised Māori data principles.

No — the opposite. Every project is designed to leave your team capable of running things themselves. We’re happy to stay on for support if you want it, but it’s always your choice, never a dependency we engineer.

We design tikanga into the work from the start — clear agreements on consent, context and interpretation, so insights never lose the whakapapa and relationships behind them. Numbers are always read in their proper context.

We’re based in Ōtautahi Christchurch and partner with organisations across Aotearoa. We work kanohi ki te kanohi (face to face) where it matters, and remotely where that serves you better.
