Our Team is...Different

We think the best teams mix it up.

Our backgrounds are about as varied as you can get.

After 15+ years in various industries all connected by data, we built Mazava to solve the problems others won't touch.

Data scientists who think critically about when AI actually helps
Engineers who've built infrastructure at scale, and can tell you where the skeletons are
Healthcare specialists who have navigated HIPAA daily
Regulated industry analysts experts who speak METRC fluently
Privacy advocates who believe in data without surveillance

Bottom Line: We love solving tricky problems. We’re pretty sure you’ll love working with us.

If you want to find out, let’s talk.

(No pressure, we promise.)

Get Started

Some things to know about us

We’re The Anti-Consultancy Consultancy. We're a worker-owned, queer-led, POC-led consulting studio that believes business can be done differently.

Who We Are

We’ve seen (and done) some crazy things in the name of “data”. So we decided to build something different.

A studio means craft; we're selective about our clients and obsessive about our work. It means senior expertise; no juniors learning on your dime. It means transparency: whatever we build, or document, includes transferring that knowledge so you own everything.

Because we believe the best consultants make themselves unnecessary. The best systems are the ones your team can run. And the best data just means that it actually change what you do tomorrow.

That's why Mazava exists. To build towards outcomes that last longer than the consultants’ contract.

Why We Exist

The Mazava Analytics Studio Model™

Senior-Only Delivery We don't do the agency pyramid where partners sell and juniors deliver. Every project is led by someone with 10+ years of hands-on experience. We've seen your problem before, probably solved it multiple times.

8-10 Clients Maximum We're not trying to scale to 100 clients. We work with 8-10 companies at a time, which means you get actual attention, not account management bait-and-switch.

Knowledge Transfer We don't just tell you what to do—we do it with you. Then we document everything, train your team, and make sure you never need us for the same problem twice.

How We Work

Clarity Over Complexity The best solution is usually the simplest one that works. We don't complicate things to justify our existence.

Ethics Without Compromise We don't work with surveillance tech, predatory businesses, or anyone who thinks "disruption" excuses exploitation. Some money isn't worth making.

Radical Transparency We show our work, share our frameworks, and explain our decisions. No black boxes, no "proprietary methodologies," no mystique.

Independence By Design Our goal is to make ourselves unnecessary. We measure success by how quickly you don't need us anymore.

What We Stand For

Our Clients Are Different Too

Perfect Fit: You value expertise over the cheapest option. You value transparency and ethics over short-term growth

Not a Fit: You want the cheapest option. You need 24/7 availability. You want strategy without implementation. You think data is about reporting and dashboard fixes. You’re looking for an agency competitor.

Who We Serve

Ready for analytics that actually work?

No sales team. No automated demos. No follow-up sequences. Just send us a note about what's broken, and we'll reply with either:

How we can help (with realistic timelines and clear pricing)
An honest admission that we can't (with a recommendation for who can)
A quick fix you can try yourself (because sometimes that's all you need)

Most responses within 24 hours. All responses from actual humans who've solved these problems before.
