For teams building dataviz with no senior dataviz engineer on staff
Dataviz Advisory Retainer
A senior dataviz reviewer, on call
- Your frontend engineers have a senior reviewer without hiring one
- Your PRs get dataviz-specific review within 24 hours
- Your team gets steadily better at dataviz over 6–12 months
Who this is for
Most product teams do not have a senior dataviz engineer on staff. Most cannot justify hiring one. But the work keeps landing on the frontend team, who do their best — and nobody senior is reviewing the decisions.
Typical scenarios:
- A team that just finished a build engagement and wants to keep the senior reviewer on hand as they extend the work
- A frontend team of two to five engineers where dataviz is 20–40% of the workload and none of them are seniors in that specific craft
- A design-system team maintaining chart components and wanting ongoing accessibility and pattern review
- An engineering leader who wants the benefit of a senior dataviz hire without the cost, the recruitment, or the timezone constraint
If your team is shipping dataviz and nobody senior is reviewing the work, the cost of that gap is compounding every month.
