Transcript

00:00To private equity sponsors and operating partners here in Las Vegas: your post-acquisition value creation shouldn't be trapped in forty-page slide decks.

00:11At DataOngoing, we measure our work strictly in basis points of EBITDA. Two hours of executive input returns hundreds of automated hours, proven in our 100x time ledger.

00:24First, a 48 to 72-hour AI technology diligence read to price technical debt before wiring capital. Second, compressing your 21-day multi-entity close down to 3. Third, automated floor-to-ledger data ingestion straight into NetSuite.

00:44We ship working code in 14-day sprints. If it does not run in production, the milestone is not billed. Visit DataOngoing.ai to schedule a private advisory session.

Executive FAQ

Executive FAQ

Direct answers to the questions operating partners, portfolio CFOs and CTOs ask before engaging: how a 48-72 hour diligence read is possible, how fast acquired entities can report from one set of books, why middleware is usually unnecessary, what 100x on time means, and what the engagement model is.

How can you conduct an architectural ERP audit in 48-72 hours when a larger firm quoted four weeks?

Due Diligence

Because we do not interview twenty people about their feelings on the software. We run static analysis directly against the codebase and metadata: script deployments, custom record dependencies, deprecation liabilities and role permission tables. The configuration tells the truth immediately. We turn raw configuration into a board-ready risk matrix while a conventional process is still scheduling discovery calls.

How quickly can acquired entities be reporting from one set of books?

Consolidation

A single entity with reasonably clean books typically folds into an existing OneWorld tenant within a two to four week sprint. A full four-entity roll-up onto a unified chart of accounts with automated eliminations is a 100-day program. The constraint is finance decision-making on the chart of accounts, not the technical migration.

How can you deliver production integrations in a day without middleware?

Integrations

Most middleware exists to abstract endpoints that are already straightforward and to justify a monthly subscription. Written natively, an integration is a deterministic payload mapping, an idempotency check and an error queue. We build governed integration gateways that run inside the ERP with no recurring third-party fee.

Do warehouse workers need full ERP licenses to use your scale and scanner integration?

Devices & Floor

No. The edge daemon authenticates through machine-to-machine credentials, captures physical telemetry and writes to the underlying fulfillment or receipt records with a complete audit trail. You do not buy named-user licenses for someone who needs to weigh a box and scan a pallet.

What is your engagement model?

Engagement

Fixed-scope deliverables, not open-ended time and materials: 48-72 hour diligence reads, sprint-based tenancy migrations and consolidations, flat-fee integrations, and turnkey device deployments quoted per site.

Where does our data go when an AI worker reads it?

AI Automation

To the model you choose, and only the rows the task needs. We recommend Anthropic’s Claude, Google’s Gemini or OpenAI’s models through their commercial endpoints on your own account, where the terms exclude training on your prompts and retention is short; personal data the task does not need is masked before the prompt. When a contract or a regulator says data cannot leave, the same designs run on open-weight models on dedicated GPU capacity, on your own hardware or through TensorWave in Las Vegas, and nothing leaves the tenant. The full position is on the AI automation page, under “Where your data goes when a model reads it”.

Can NetSuite inventory drive our Google, Meta, TikTok and YouTube ads directly?

B2B Inventory Ads

Yes. The NetSuite Digital Marketing & B2B Inventory Bundle installs a Map/Reduce that reads Available-to-Promise, FIFO lot age and price tiers every 15 minutes and on fulfillment events, pauses a SKU’s ads across the five channels when stock drops below its floor, and moves lots over 90 days to a clearance variant. The creative is rendered from the SKU photo in the File Cabinet, and the ad lands on a checkout that creates the Sales Order or Cash Sale in NetSuite with the lot reserved.

How is the return on B2B ad spend measured inside NetSuite?

B2B Inventory Ads

Against a Day-0 baseline. Before launch the bundle snapshots the trailing 90 days of sales by SKU, subsidiary and customer cohort; after launch every order carrying a click token is joined to its landed cost in transactionaccountingline, so the figure reported is incremental gross profit above the baseline by channel, not platform-reported conversions. The offer is $15,000 flat setup and $2,500 per month, with the 10x fee guarantee measured the same way.

Who actually does the work?

Engagement

Specialist pods rather than a single generalist administrator: platform engineers, data and reporting analysts, and hardware edge integrators. Everything is delivered as reproducible code and documented SOPs so the portfolio company is not dependent on one person or on us.

Is 100x a marketing number?

Results ledger

It is the design target, and the ledger shows how close each automation gets. The measured rows run from roughly 15x to 90x on time; the projected rows exceed 100x and are labeled projected. We publish the arithmetic so you can disagree with a specific row rather than with a slogan.

Why are founder-role results on a company site?

Results ledger

Because they are the largest documented outcomes and they were delivered by the same architect who leads every DataOngoing engagement. They carry their own source class and the note that they were not DataOngoing engagements.

How does 100x on time relate to the 10x fee guarantee?

Results ledger

They are different denominators. 10x is value returned against the fee paid, and it is the guarantee in the engagement letter. 100x is work returned against the executive hours the client invests. A $100,000 sprint that removes a $1,000,000 bottleneck satisfies the first; a six-hour executive investment that returns 600 hours of automated work satisfies the second.

What would move a projected row to measured?

Results ledger

Thirty days of production telemetry after deployment. The sales-order router rows are projected because the baseline latency was measured in a client sandbox and the recovery is arithmetic on that baseline.
