What I do

Model builds, fixes, and health checks

I build new Planning Analytics / TM1 models and fix existing ones. A health check gives you a plain list of what is wrong and what to fix first.

Rules, feeders, and performance

Wrong numbers, missing totals, and slow views usually trace back to rules and feeders. I find the cause, fix it, and tune for speed.

v12 readiness check

Before you move from Planning Analytics v11 to v12, I check your model for what will break: rules, feeders, processes, and features v12 drops. You get a plain list of what to fix first.

AI-augmented planning

Connecting AI tools, such as MCP servers, to your planning models so analysts can query, check, and explain the numbers in plain language.
