Data and information systems

Where community data lives, who controls it, and what it takes to bring it under your own governance.

Data about a community’s members, lands and operations lives in systems and contracts the community did not design. These studies establish what a community actually holds, where it resides, who controls it, and what it would take to bring it under the community’s own governance.

Data sovereignty and governance

Where your data actually lives, who controls it, and what it would take to bring it under your own governance. The assessment is rooted in OCAP®, meaning Ownership, Control, Access and Possession, and delivers a data inventory, a residency and access map, and a governance framework with a roadmap you can act on.

Data protection and handling

How data is classified, who may access it, and how it is stored, retained and shared: the governance and policy layer that keeps sensitive member data handled properly. Our focus is the rules and the handling. Where a project calls for security engineering beyond that, we scope it with the right specialists.

Systems review and planned upgrades

A current-state picture of the technology you run: what systems exist, how they connect, and where the risks and single points of failure sit. We also assess how a planned upgrade would fit what you already have. This is the assessment that turns a vague sense that something needs replacing into a plan you can defend to a funder.

Custom integration and software

Sometimes two systems have to work together, and sometimes what a community needs does not exist as a product. We establish whether an integration is viable and what it would take, and where the project calls for it we design and build it, including custom software developed to fit the systems already in place.

Core Deliverables

  • Empirical baseline: existing infrastructure and real-world performance mapped against operational needs.
  • Comparative options analysis: an objective, side-by-side technical trade-off matrix.
  • Life-cycle TCO modeling: capital expenditures (CapEx) and long-term operational costs (OpEx).
  • Actionable deployment roadmap: a phased execution plan.
  • Funding-ready documentation: technical artifacts built to withstand rigorous grant evaluation.
