A practice built around one rule: move data as few times as possible.
A data practice, not an agency
The best pipeline is the one you didn't build.
xerocopy helps teams move data as few times as possible: fewer hops, in-place reads, contracts at the boundary, and agents that act on a contract instead of a vibe. Two people, small book of clients, work done slowly and in writing.
Concrete work, printed so you can hire against it.
01 — Data platforms
Warehouses, pipelines, contracts.
Designed around fewer copies. On-prem on a single box, hybrid across a warehouse and a few SaaS sources, or full cloud on Kubernetes — whichever fits the data and the budget, not the vendor slide.
We follow a single figure from the system that made it to the person who used it last, list every hop on the way, and mark the ones nobody in the room can defend. That list is the engagement.
