Consulting and Software for Earth Science Teams

Three practice areas, one common thread: deep domain knowledge in the geological industries we serve.

Geological Consulting

Independent technical work for exploration projects, producing assets, and the teams that run them.

Exploration Data Review

Audit of drill-hole databases, assay imports, geochemistry, and structural data — finding the validation gaps, duplicates, and coordinate-system landmines before they cost you a resource estimate.

QA/QC Pipeline Design

Standards, blanks, duplicates, lab batch tracking. We design the QA/QC framework — and the software to enforce it automatically — so quality is structural, not aspirational.

Resource & Project Technical Review

Sanity checks on geological models, technical reports, and resource-estimation inputs. Independent second-set-of-eyes on internal work or on acquisition targets.

Workflow Diagnostic

A fixed-scope written audit of how your team actually moves data from field to report — where the bottlenecks live, what's worth automating, what isn't.

Compliance & Reporting Support

Help structuring data and documentation for NI 43-101, JORC, environmental compliance, and regulatory submission cycles.

Fractional Technical Lead

Part-time senior geoscience capacity for small teams without a full-time technical lead — embedded in your project for a few hours or days per week.

Custom SaaS Development

Web-based software shaped around your data and your team — not the other way around.

Internal Data Platforms

Drill-hole databases, sample tracking, document libraries, project dashboards. Single source of truth for teams currently held together by shared drives and spreadsheets.

Field & Logging Tools

Web and mobile interfaces for capturing geological observations, sample collection, and field data — synced to your central database, validated at the point of entry.

Reporting & Visualization

Custom dashboards, automated report generation, interactive maps and cross-sections. Pull from your data sources, output in the formats your stakeholders actually use.

Integration Layers

Connect Leapfrog, ArcGIS, Petrel, lab portals, compliance systems, and your existing tools — so data flows automatically instead of via copy-paste.

Client & Stakeholder Portals

External-facing portals for delivering data, reports, and updates to clients, investors, or regulators — branded, secure, and self-serve.

MVP & Prototype Builds

Got an idea for a niche industry SaaS? We'll build the MVP in weeks, not quarters — enough to validate the demand before you commit to a full product.

Built on a pragmatic stack — Python, FastAPI, modern JS, Postgres, Docker, Cloudflare. No vendor lock-in, fully documented, yours to take in-house whenever you're ready.

AI & Workflow Automation

AI where it actually pays back — embedded inside the tools and workflows your team already lives in.

Document & Report Extraction

Pull structured data out of historical reports, assay PDFs, well logs, and scanned archives — turning years of unsearchable documents into queryable data.

AI-Assisted Drafting

Templated report drafting, executive summaries, daily updates — LLMs handle the boilerplate so geologists focus on interpretation.

Data Pipeline Automation

Scheduled ETL between lab portals, internal databases, and reporting tools. Validation, alerting, audit trails — no more "did anyone update the master sheet?"

Classification & QA Assists

Lithology classification, anomaly flagging, QA outlier detection. Used as a first-pass to surface issues for human review — never as a black-box replacement.

RAG Over Technical Archives

Ask questions of your own technical archive — past reports, internal memos, project files — with answers grounded in your actual documents, not a generic LLM's training data.

Marketing & Content Pipelines

For consultancies and producers maintaining external content — automated SEO content generation, social pipelines, lead capture. (See our own site for a working example.)

Three Shapes an Engagement Can Take

Audit (2–4 weeks)

Fixed fee, fixed scope. Diagnostic of your existing workflow, data, or system — ending in a written report with a prioritized roadmap. Often the right starting point.

Build (4–16 weeks)

Scoped project with weekly demos. Consulting deliverable, software MVP, or automation pipeline. Hourly or milestone-based depending on the work.

Operate (ongoing)

Monthly retainer for maintaining, monitoring, and improving systems we've built or inherited. Capped hours, transparent reporting, easy to pause or hand off.

Not Sure Which Fits?

A free 30-minute discovery call is the fastest way to figure out the shape of the right engagement — or to find out we're not the right team. Either answer is useful.
