Where our team's experience comes from

Our team's background is large-scale funded research, and the underlying skills transfer directly: automating reporting so nobody re-builds a spreadsheet by hand every month, and testing whether a change actually moved the numbers. Same discipline, smaller scale.

We had an unrealistically tight timeline, and Dr. Yel jumped in without hesitation — not only met the deadline, but delivered a little earlier than we anticipated. He took the time to understand the situation behind the data and the implications of every insight. We know who to go to for future work like this.

DASS did a fantastic job. They were patient, clear about the coding, and very responsive to my emails. They took the time to understand the overall goal before proceeding with each step. Highly recommend.

Common questions

Do I need to hire a full-time analyst?

Usually not. If you have one specific question, a one-time project is often enough, and you can also arrange ongoing check-ins. You get a fixed-scope quote before any work begins.

What kinds of questions can you answer?

Sales and customer trends, marketing return, pricing tests, and demand forecasting for inventory. We also clean data that lives across a POS system, a CRM and spreadsheets so the analysis starts from one trusted source.

Will I get a stats lecture?

No. Findings come in plain English, not a stats lecture.

Where else could I look, and how do I choose?

Our guide to finding data analysis services for a small business compares freelance marketplaces, boutique firms, do-it-yourself tools and larger agencies. The right one depends less on price than on how well defined your question is.

How much does it cost, and how long does it take?

We don't publish a price list because cost depends on scope. The free 30-minute consult ends with a scoped proposal that includes methods, a timeline and a fixed quote, whether or not you hire us. If you have a deadline, such as a resubmission date, tell us on the first call so the timeline is built around it. We reply to inquiries within one business day. Pricing is scoped to a small-business budget.

Got a business question buried in a spreadsheet?

A free 30-minute consult — no cost, no obligation, and a real quote scoped to your budget before any work begins.
