The Practice

Three pillars. One retainer.
Senior-led across all of it.

Most consultancies sell capability lines you have to stitch together. We sell the work the way it actually shows up — architecture, capture, and intelligence as one practice, delivered monthly under a single principal.

01 · Foundation

Data architecture.

The substrate everything sits on.
  • Warehouse and pipeline design
  • Integration architecture
  • Governance and security posture
  • Ongoing maintenance and monitoring
02 · Capture

Data acquisition.

Getting the data in.
  • Public web ingestion at scale
  • Market and regulatory signal feeds
  • Enrichment and parsing
  • Public-data-only — lawyer-reviewed
03 · Intelligence

Competitive operations.

Turning data into decisions.
  • Monthly Brief — written insights report
  • Continuous competitor monitoring
  • Market signals — pricing, hiring, regulatory, news
  • One-off Intelligence Sprints

Behind every Foundation is the systems work. Behind every Capture is the software build. Behind every Intelligence operation is the cyber and compliance posture. All included. No separate engagements.

Where you start

Two products. One ladder.

The Audit is the front door — paid discovery, two clean outcomes, the plans are yours either way. The Practice is the relationship — the monthly retainer that runs the data layer of your business.

Start here

The Audit.

$2,500 fixed · 1 day · written deliverable

A single-day diagnostic. Half a day mapping every data source, flow, leak, and intelligence gap your business is sitting on. Half a day of analysis. Written report next business day.

  • Three highest-value data leaks with dollar estimates
  • Five intelligence sources your competitors use that you don't
  • A 12-month build plan you own outright
  • One quick-win that pays for the audit within 30 days

The two-outcome rule: Take the plans to your team and build it yourself — fair outcome, we won't chase you. Or sign The Practice and we deliver against them. Both are valid. We're paid for the thinking either way.

Or go all in

The Practice.

From $5,500/month · 12-month term · 3-month break clause

The data practice your business doesn't have to hire. One senior data architect on call, one continuous intelligence operation, all of the architecture, systems, software, and cyber work the data layer needs — every month.

  • ~10 hours of senior architect time per month
  • The Monthly Brief — written insights, what to act on, what's at risk
  • The Quarterly Health Tracker — architecture, security, data quality
  • Slack + email + monthly strategy call
  • All enabling work — no scope creep, no extra invoices

Months 1–3 are the setup phase — architecture lock, first capture, first brief shipped. Months 4–12 are operate — ongoing maintenance, new captures, monthly briefs.

The Augmentations. Sales augmentation systems, customer performance dashboards, new capture operations, one-off Intelligence Sprints, custom builds — available to any client who has completed The Audit. Practice clients get priority scheduling and a 10% rate. Project fees, fixed-scope, no surprise invoices.

The problem

Eight overlapping data flows running across email, spreadsheets, and three disconnected systems. Project managers spending a third of their week re-entering numbers that already existed somewhere. No single source of truth on a $40M annual build pipeline.

The architectural decision

Don't replace the systems they already paid for. Build the connective tissue between them. A thin data layer that ingests from each source, normalises, and feeds back into the systems the team actually uses. Invisible to the user. Owned by the business.

What we built

  • Eight named data pipelines, one per workflow
  • Single warehouse, governed access, fully documented
  • Daily intelligence digest into the principal's inbox
  • Full source ownership at handover — no vendor lock

The outcome

60+ hours per month of manual data entry eliminated within four weeks of live. $66,000 annualised value returned at the team's blended rate. No data losses through handover. The team kept the systems they knew; the data layer kept the systems honest.

How we work

The Veridicus Method.
Five phases.

Every engagement — Audit or Practice — ships against the same five-phase structure. The Audit delivers Phase 1. The Practice delivers Phases 2–5, repeating monthly.

01

Audit

What data you have. What you're missing. What you're losing.

02

Architect

The system that holds it. Warehouses, pipelines, governance, security.

03

Capture

Getting the data in. Public web, market signals, regulatory, intelligence.

04

Build

The thing that uses it. Dashboards, briefs, internal tools, data products.

05

Operate

The ongoing practice. Standing architect, continuous capture, monthly brief.

The Veridicus Method™ · IP Australia, 2026.
The firm

Veridicus is the data practice for Australian business.

We are built on the conviction that data is your most important asset — and that almost nobody in Australian small and medium business is leveraging it. Senior architecture work is locked behind Big-4 engagement minimums. Competitive intelligence is reserved for ASX-listed budgets. Public web data sits in plain sight, undefined and uncaptured.

The Practice exists to close that gap. One senior architect, one monthly retainer, one ethics policy — across architecture, capture, and intelligence — for the businesses that haven't had access to this work before.

Founded 2026, Brisbane. Director: Heston Brockington. Senior-led delivery, public-data-only, lawyer-reviewed. Built against The Veridicus Method.
