How we help
Your engineer gets the platform ready for AI. Sidecar keeps it that way.
Your forward deployed engineer evaluates the full stack, makes the necessary changes, and evaluates again until it meets the standard. Then Sidecar enforces that standard every day.
Evaluate the full stack
A forward deployed data engineer evaluates your full data platform using Sidecar. They assess models, quality, AI surfaces, context and retrieval, observability, standards, and technical debt.
- Map the warehouse, dbt project, BI layer, lineage, and usage
- Evaluate Claude, BI tools, analyst workflows, and other AI surfaces
- Set clear standards for your stack
Make the required changes
Your engineer closes gaps across the stack. They improve models, install evaluations, structure context, strengthen reliability, and configure each approved AI surface.
- Repair modeling, testing, documentation, and ownership gaps
- Implement governed context and retrieval for AI tools
- Evaluate again until the stack meets the standard
Keep the platform ready
Once the standard is in place, Sidecar continuously evaluates the platform and resolves drift. Your engineer remains involved for maintenance, onboarding, and changes to your tools or roadmap.
- Continuous checks across the platform
- Reviewable fixes from agents with a human in control
- Ongoing evaluation as data, tools, and AI workflows change
