Platform-specific reviews

Choose the review depth that fits the decision.

Databricks Cost & Governance Diagnostic: $8,000. About 1 week; Best when the decision is cost control or a focused governance correction.

Lakehouse / Unity Catalog Audit: $12,500-$25,000. 1-3 weeks; Best when several workspaces, domains, teams, or governance concerns need to be assessed together.

Databricks Lakehouse Readiness Review: $25,000-$45,000. Typically 3-5 weeks; Best when leadership needs a complete risk, ownership, cost, and roadmap view before committing.

Synapse to Fabric Migration Review: $12,000-$40,000. Final scope varies with the estate, stakeholders, audit evidence, and roadmap depth.

Final scope depends on platform complexity, workloads, stakeholder interviews, governance, cost analysis, audit evidence, and roadmap depth. A strategy call confirms the right depth before any engagement begins.

Common questions

Pricing questions, answered before the call.

The commercial and procurement questions leaders usually ask before booking, answered the same way they would be on the call.

What does "fixed price" cover?

Each fixed-price offer lists its scope, deliverables, and timing on this page, and the price covers that scope. Scope is confirmed on the strategy call before any engagement begins, so the price matches the work rather than an estimate.

What does "assessment only" mean?

Audits, blueprints, and diagnostics deliver findings, decision records, and a roadmap. Hands-on implementation is scoped separately when the findings identify a clear, agreed piece of work.

How does the fractional architecture retainer work?

$3,000-$15,000 per month with a three-month minimum. Monthly scope depends on advisory depth, access, and hands-on support. Operational ownership and on-call coverage are separately defined.

Which Databricks review should we start with?

Start with the decision and the risk. A narrow cost or governance question fits the diagnostic; several workspaces, domains, or governance concerns fit the audit; a consequential platform, modernization, or AI decision fits the readiness review. The fit call confirms the depth.

What paperwork and procurement documents are available?

A statement of work per engagement, a master services agreement where the engagement calls for one, and on request a W-9, insurance information, and vendor-intake detail. Gambill Data does not hold a SOC 2 report or ISO certification; if your process requires one as a hard gate, raise it on the call so nobody's time is wasted.

Is the strategy call a sales pitch?

No. The 30-minute fit call determines whether Gambill Data is the right partner and what a sensible next step looks like. Coaching for individual data professionals is priced separately on the coaching page.

Not sure which engagement fits?

Start with the decision and the risk.

The fit call is designed to determine whether Gambill Data is the right partner and what a sensible next step looks like. It is not a forced sales process.
