What is Decision Foundry's industries practice?
Decision Foundry's industries practice combines deep domain expertise with platform credentials — building data, analytics, and AI solutions tailored to each industry's data shape, regulatory environment, and competitive dynamics. We're active across media & agency, healthcare, retail, financial services, automotive, and education.
Why does industry specialisation matter for data and AI work?
Generic data platforms can be configured for any industry — but the data models, taxonomies, regulatory requirements, and KPIs are radically different across sectors. Industry-specific accelerators (pre-built data models, attribution frameworks, compliance templates) cut implementation timelines significantly vs starting from scratch. They also surface the right questions earlier — what regulators actually require, what KPIs matter, what data sources are typically poor quality.
How does Decision Foundry's industry expertise show up in practice?
Three ways. (1) Pre-built industry data models — accelerators for media MMM, healthcare patient journey, retail product hierarchy, financial services Client 360, automotive dealer 360, education student-journey. (2) Industry-specific attribution and measurement frameworks. (3) Regulatory templates (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GLBA, FERPA, GDPR by jurisdiction).
We're in an industry not listed — can you still help?
Yes. Our industry pages reflect where we have the deepest concentrations of clients, but we've also delivered for manufacturing, hospitality, energy, professional services, and public sector. Our core data platform expertise (Salesforce, MCI, Tableau, Snowflake, Databricks) transfers across sectors — we just borrow heavily from the closest matching industry pattern in the discovery phase.
How long do industry-specific engagements typically take?
A focused industry-specific engagement (one workload — e.g., dealer performance dashboard, patient journey analytics) typically runs 2–4 months. Enterprise rollouts (cross-business-unit, multi-platform) run 6–12 months. We typically open with a 2–4 week industry-aware discovery to map your data shape to known industry patterns.
Why Decision Foundry for industry-specific data and AI?
Combined depth — platform credentials (Salesforce SELECT, Tableau Premier, Snowflake Select, Databricks Premier, Microsoft Solutions Partner for Data & AI) AND industry-specific delivery history with global brands in each sector. Most consultancies have one or the other; we have both.
