Designed to teach how we do, what we do.

The playbook is our core approach to mastering the execution of exceptional data projects.

It serves the whole studio and our clients.

The goal of the playbook is to continuously increase the ownership, creativity and craft within our teams.

It is maintained by a group of leads within the business but is an open system: it can be collaborated on and evolved by anyone.
