Margin · Programmes · Investment returns
We establish where the numbers management relies on diverge from operational reality, and what that means financially.

Reconciliation · One number
Illustrative exampleWhy it matters
Unbilled work, misallocated costs and investments that fail to reduce work can all contribute. AtlasVertex establishes where the gap comes from before you decide what to cut, change or fund.
Where we start
We never presume the cause. Each engagement starts from a discrepancy you can already see, and establishes where it comes from.
Revenue grows, margin does not. Before you cut, establish where the gap comes from.
The money is committed. Does the business case still hold before the next tranche?
Which investments reduce the work they were meant to, and which only add cost?
Point of view
Companies add software, data, automation and AI while the underlying processes and responsibilities remain unchanged. Existing tools overlap, data remains unreliable, and expected benefits fail to materialise.
Sometimes new technology is the answer. Sometimes the answer is to fix what already exists. We establish what needs to change before deciding what to buy or build.
Method
Most numbers are precise and still uncertain. We put the four versions next to each other and show where they part ways.
You do not get a new number. You get a range, the evidence behind every finding, and a short list of decisions with an owner for each. Your finance team stays the owner of the number.
Believed
The number as reported, and the story told about it.
Recorded
Where CRM, ERP, billing, HR and procurement disagree.
Actual
Who does the work, for which customer or programme, at what cost.
Agreed
Which definitions are settled, and which have simply grown over time.
Engagement
Where the evidence justifies it, we work with your team to implement the necessary commercial, process or technology change. We then return to the original measure to establish whether it delivered the intended outcome.
01 · Where every engagement starts
One number, decision or programme. Fixed scope, fixed fee. You get the gap, its evidenced drivers, the economic consequences, the decisions required with an owner for each, and the limits of the evidence.
02 · Only if justified
The specific change that addresses the finding: a commercial or process change, a data fix, an architecture, an integration, automation or an AI-enabled solution. Scoped and priced separately, with acceptance criteria tied to the business problem.
03 · After the change
We return to the original measure and establish whether it moved, separating realised value from expected benefit. If you keep us on, we repeat this each quarter.
Your data stays in your environment, under your security model.
About
We don’t replace your advisers. We test the assumptions their recommendations depend on.
AtlasVertex exists to answer a question that often stays open, even after the strategy is agreed, the experts consulted and the investment approved: does the evidence from the business support the assumptions behind the decision?
The result is a clearer basis for deciding what to keep, change, stop or fund, before the next decision commits more money, time or capacity.
Commercial and operational
How technology is sold, bought and implemented, and what happens to the business case once the contract is signed.
Data and architecture
Microsoft Data Platform MVP, Microsoft Certified Trainer and Microsoft Fabric specialist, across real-time intelligence, analytics engineering and data architecture. It shows how information is structured across systems, where definitions diverge, and what the evidence can and cannot establish.
Executive and investment
Connects each change to executive priorities, operating models and investment decisions, so that a technically sound build also solves the problem that justified it.
Contact
Start with one consequential number. We will discuss what it represents, what evidence exists, and whether there is a case for a focused diagnostic.

Privacy
This notice explains what personal data is processed when you visit this website or contact us, why, and what your rights are. We keep it short because we collect very little.
The controller is AtlasVertex. For any privacy question or request, email info@atlasvertex.io.
This website sets no cookies and uses no analytics, tracking pixels, advertising tools or embedded third-party content. The fonts are stored on our own server, so your browser does not contact Google or any other provider to load them. Because nothing is stored on your device, there is no cookie banner.
The site is hosted by Hostinger. Like every web server, it records technical log data when you visit: your IP address, the date and time, and the page requested. This is used only to operate the site and keep it secure. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a working, secure website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Logs are kept only for the limited period set by our hosting provider, and then deleted automatically.
The “Discuss a number” buttons open a short form hosted by Tally, a Belgian company that stores form data in the EU and acts as our processor. We receive what you enter (your answers, name, role and work email) to reply to you and, if it leads to one, for the follow-up business relationship. The legal basis is the same as for email, below. Tally’s own privacy notice applies to its form page.
When you open the form from this website, the link also passes three details that are stored with your submission only: any campaign tag in the address you arrived on (such as utm_source), the website that referred you, and which button you used. We use this only to understand how people find us. It is not combined with other data and no cookies are set on this website for it.
If you email us, we process your name, email address and the content of your message to reply and, if it leads to one, for the follow-up business relationship. The legal basis is taking steps at your request before a possible contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and our legitimate interest in answering business enquiries (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Our email runs on Google Workspace. Google acts as our processor. Where data is transferred outside the EU, this is covered by the EU standard contractual clauses and the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. We keep email correspondence for as long as needed to handle your enquiry and any business relationship that follows, and no longer than the law requires.
We do not sell your data and do not share it with anyone for marketing. We do not profile visitors.
You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, and to ask us to rectify or erase it, to restrict its processing, to object to processing based on legitimate interest, and to receive your data in a portable format. Email info@atlasvertex.io and we will respond within one month.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority. In the Netherlands this is the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.
If the way we handle data changes, for example if we add cookieless analytics, we will update this notice and the date above.
