AI enablement

Put LLMs and AI agents to work on your commercial pharma data.

Your analysts want to ask an AI tool why the brand moved. Your engineers could hand routine pipeline work to a coding agent. Neither works on commercial data with no tests and no context. We get your team using the LLMs and AI agents it has chosen, on your Snowflake or Databricks stack, and build the tests and context layer that let you trust what they produce.

AI writes the pipeline code and the tests. Engineers review every line and decide what ships.

The framework

DT + DX + CTX = 10x
DT
Data Trust. Tests and freshness checks on every feed, so the model reads data that is right.
DX
Data Experience. A curated set of tables named for what they mean.
CTX
Context Engineering. Definitions, example queries, and live state a schema cannot carry.

The problem

Your brand team wants answers from AI. The data underneath is not ready to give them.

Your CEO wants AI in the launch deck. Your analysts want to ask Cortex Analyst or Genie why NBRx dipped in the Southeast. Meanwhile your engineers are still reconciling the IQVIA refresh against claims by hand, and every new request waits in the queue.

A new tool will not fix that. An AI agent on a messy pipeline generates broken code faster. A chatbot pointed at a warehouse with no context layer guesses which of 150 tables to join, then answers confidently and wrongly. Commercial data makes it worse, because you did not create most of it. Partial files, vendor restatements, and territory realignments all load cleanly, and a model reading them inherits every one.

What we install

Six things we put into your data engineering so AI works on commercial data.

On your Snowflake or Databricks stack, with TestGen for data quality testing and DataOps Process Observability for pipeline monitoring. The six tracks run in parallel. Our engineers work inside your team, and everything transfers to you by the end.

  1. 01

    Build the data trust foundation first

    DT · Data quality and observability

    AI amplifies whatever it reads, so untested data becomes wrong answers faster. We put TestGen tests on your most error-prone feeds and the tables the brand team reads, and monitor freshness, volume, schema, and quality scores. A partial specialty pharmacy file stops in staging instead of feeding an AI answer.

    What you get

    Test coverage on critical tables, freshness monitoring on every feed, and quality scorecards your team can show a CFO.

  2. 02

    Curate the tables that matter

    DX · Data experience

    If your warehouse has 150 tables and half are deprecated, the AI cannot tell which is which, so it joins the wrong ones. We curate the small set that answers most commercial questions: the interlinked stars on physician, payer, product, time, and territory, with every join key written down.

    What you get

    A curated front door to your warehouse, tables named for business concepts, and a deprecated registry the AI respects.

  3. 03

    Engineer the six-category context layer

    CTX · Context engineering

    Documentation is not context. We build all six categories between your data and your AI: schema and grain, definitions, validated example queries, live freshness and quality state, history, and entitlements. The model stops guessing what EQ_TRX means, how the payer hierarchy rolls up, or which alignment file is current.

    What you get

    Context built in CI/CD next to the pipeline that produces the data, and updated when the schema changes.

  4. 04

    Set up isolated environments for agent work

    Branched environments on your stack

    You cannot let an AI coding agent iterate against production for 30 minutes and hope nothing gets dropped. We set up zero-copy clones in Snowflake or Databricks, each with its own Git branch and compute. Your engineers run three or four agent sessions in parallel, and none touches the launch report until the work is promoted.

    What you get

    Branched environments wired into your CI/CD, concurrent agent sessions, and a bounded blast radius.

  5. 05

    Refactor pipelines to FITT

    Functional, idempotent, tested, two-stage

    A pipeline a person can reason about is safe for an agent to change. We refactor your most error-prone stages into FITT data architecture: same input, same output, every run safe to repeat, every transform tested, two stages instead of a chain of layers. When a specialty pharmacy resends Tuesday's file on Thursday, you reload it and move on.

    What you get

    A FITT pattern your team applies to every new feed, idempotent SQL, and no 2am debugging across five intermediate layers.

  6. 06

    Wire tests into the agent loop

    AI agent working patterns

    An LLM can write and run code. It cannot judge whether the output is correct. Tests do that. We wire your test suite into the agent loop so the agent knows when it is done and when it broke something upstream, then set up the parallel workflow: memory files the agent reads at the start of every session, several sessions trying different approaches, and an engineer picking the winning diff.

    What you get

    AI coding agents adopted across the team, parallel agent patterns, and context that survives a session restart.

How it runs

We do the work alongside your team. You own it when we leave.

Your data stays in your cloud account and every line of code lives in your repository from the first sprint, so the handover is a normal day.

  1. 01

    Assess

    Two weeks on one of your data sources. You get a gap report on data trust, data experience, and context, an AI-readiness scorecard, and a sized proposal.

  2. 02

    Build

    Tests, observability, isolated environments, the FITT refactor, and the context layer, built in your cloud account and your repository.

  3. 03

    Operate

    One to two quarters running it with your team on production workloads. Real agent sessions, with analyst corrections fed back into the context layer.

  4. 04

    Transfer

    Your team owns it, or whoever you name. Open source tooling, documented patterns, no exit fee. We leave when you run it without us.

The tools

Your stack, your AI tools, and two open source tools.

Nothing proprietary to leave behind. The platform page sets out what runs in your cloud and what runs in ours.

Your LLMs and AI agents

Whichever your company approved: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, GitHub Copilot, Cursor. Coding agents work in branched environments and are graded by tests.

Snowflake and Cortex Analyst

Zero-copy clones for agent work. Cortex Analyst reads the context layer.

Databricks and Genie

Zero-copy clones for agent work. Genie reads the context layer.

DataOps TestGen

Apache 2.0 data quality tests that run as SQL inside your warehouse.

DataOps Process Observability

Freshness, volume, schema drift, and quality scores across every pipeline.

Your Git repository

Every transform, test, context file, and agent memory file lives there from the first sprint.

Or have us build it

No team to enable yet? Our engineers build and run it, then hand it over.

The same practice, with our engineers doing the work: AI drafts the pipelines and tests, our engineers review and own what ships, and your team takes over on a schedule you set. Replacing a data vendor? We run the old and new side by side until the numbers agree, then cut over. How a vendor switch runs.

Questions

About AI enablement.

What is AI enablement for a commercial pharma data team?

AI enablement is getting your data engineers productive with AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, or GitHub Copilot on your real Snowflake or Databricks stack, and getting your analysts' AI tools to answer questions about IQVIA, specialty pharmacy, and 867 data correctly. In practice that means isolated environments so an agent cannot break the launch report, tests on every feed so agent output can be graded, and a context layer that defines equalized prescriptions and territory alignment.

Why do AI coding tools underdeliver on commercial data work?

Because an agent needs somewhere safe to work and a way to know if it succeeded. Without isolated environments, every iteration touches the tables the field reads. Without tests, neither you nor the agent can tell whether a rewritten specialty pharmacy transform still counts patients correctly. Claude Code writes and runs code quickly. Tests are what tell it the code is right.

Can our analysts trust what an AI tool says about our commercial data?

Only if the data underneath is verified, and that is the step teams skip. A language model answers with the same confidence whether last week's IQVIA refresh arrived complete or half missing. Trust comes from test coverage under the query: row counts against the vendor control record, freshness on every feed, and checks on NPI and NDC joins. That is why the work starts with data quality rather than prompts.

Will this make Snowflake Cortex Analyst or Databricks Genie work?

Not on their own, and not until the data underneath carries context. When MIT's NLP group tested leading text-to-SQL models on the Spider 2.0 benchmark of real enterprise databases, accuracy fell from over 85 percent on academic benchmarks to under 20 percent. The model was not broken. The data underneath it had no context.

How do you stop an AI agent from breaking production data?

Give it its own copy to work in. We set up isolated environments with zero-copy clones in Snowflake or Databricks, each with its own Git branch and compute. Your engineers can run three or four AI agent sessions in parallel, and nothing touches the tables your field reports read until an engineer promotes the change and the tests pass.

Do we own the platform and the code?

Yes, from day one. The warehouse sits in your cloud account and every line of code, test, and schema lives in your repository. The data quality software underneath is Apache 2.0, so there is no proprietary runtime to leave behind and no license that expires when we do. You are not renting access to something we hold.

How does an AI enablement engagement start?

With one team, one stack, and one data source. The paid two-week scoping engagement leaves you with a working context layer over that source, an AI-readiness scorecard, and a sized proposal. After that the order is fixed: test coverage first so agent output can be graded, an isolated environment so agents can iterate safely, then context for the tables the brand team asks about most.
