The lakehouse backbone for PE-backed operators.

Four elite architects. One Databricks cell. A governed production lakehouse in 90 days — owned end-to-end, never staffed.

Who it’s for

PE-backed mid-market (~$100M–$1.5B revenue)
Post-acquisition / value-creation clock
Databricks decided or migration in motion
Executive sponsor who wants ownership, not theater

What ships in 90 days

Unity Catalog spine + security posture
Medallion foundation (bronze → silver → gold)
Reliability, quality gates, cost guardrails
Operating model + runbooks your team can run

How the clock runs

Days 1–30

Spine

Workspace, Unity Catalog, identity, promotion, cost policy

Days 31–60

Flow

Priority sources, silver contracts, observability

Days 61–90

Command

Gold products, ownership map, exit criteria signed

Why Keel wins

Big SIs sell headcount. Databricks programs fail from architectural incoherence — not a shortage of engineers. Keel is a four-person cell that owns the platform outcome on a PE clock.

We refuse

Staff augmentation / body-shop SOWs
Slideware strategy with no build
Multi-cloud generality that dilutes Databricks depth
