What we do

Four practices,
one subtle through-line.

We work end-to-end across the lifecycle of a data product: from messy CSV to running LLM, from hypothesis to roadmap. You can hire Next Mile Consulting (NMC) for any one stage, or all of them.

Data Science

Forecasting, experimentation and decision systems that earn their place in the business, not just the slide deck.

Explore the practice

Data Engineering

Warehouses, lakehouses and pipelines built to be quiet, observable and boring in all the right ways.

Explore the practice

Product Management

Discovery, strategy and delivery for data and AI products, from first principles to first thousand users.

Explore the practice

LLM System Design

Retrieval, agents, evals and guardrails. Production-grade architectures for real models doing real work.

How we work

Three Nordic ideas, applied to modern data work.

Tools change every quarter. The way good work gets done doesn't. These principles shape how we plan, build and hand over.

  1. 01

    Lagom

    The Swedish art of just enough. We build what the problem asks for and nothing more.

  2. 02

    Friluftsliv

    Open-air thinking. Long walks, longer notebooks, and the kind of clarity that doesn't come from a Zoom call.

  3. 03

    Hygge

    Comfort in the work. Calm rituals, warm collaboration, and a codebase you'd want to come home to.
