You have data, and a question you can't quite articulate — or a vision you can't quite execute. An economist sits down with you, finds the shape of the problem, and works through it in sequence.
Something is off, or something is possible — you can sense it in the numbers, but you can't yet say what it is. You need someone to sit with the ambiguity, ask the right questions, and build toward clarity.
The destination is clear, but the path isn't. You have a technical vision — a data model, a reporting layer, an analytical capability — and you need someone to break it into a sequence and execute it precisely.
Both paths lead to the same place: a clear question, a clean answer, and the confidence to act on it. The work is finding the sequence that gets you there.
This sounds like meSixty-Four is an independent data consultancy. I work with startups and scale-ups at the point where data and decision-making meet — usually when something important is unclear and someone needs to make it legible.
Most data problems are not technical problems. They are clarity problems — the right question wasn't asked, the right signal wasn't surfaced, or the numbers told a story no one thought to read. A background in behavioral and quantitative economics means I approach data the way a researcher does: hypothesis first, method second, conclusion only when it's earned.
The most common mistake is reaching for a tool before the question is formed. A dashboard built around the wrong metric isn't just useless — it is actively misleading. The work always begins with sitting down and thinking carefully about what you actually want to know.
"The name comes from the 64 squares of a chessboard — not because data is a game, but because every position has more structure than it first appears. The work is in learning to see it."
When you engage with Sixty-Four, you work directly with me — from the first conversation to the final deliverable. No hand-offs, no junior analysts running your numbers, no account managers in between.
I am a behavioral economist with a quantitative PhD and a track record that spans financial analysis at Moody's, economic policy research at the German Council of Economic Experts, and four years leading research projects and teams at Kiel University. I have spent years turning messy, unconventional data into findings that hold up to scrutiny — and then explaining those findings to people who didn't want a methods section, they wanted an answer.
What that gives you is someone who brings academic rigor without academic distance. I design the question, build the analysis, and deliver the insight — and I stay in the room until it makes sense.
You don't need to have it fully formed. That's the point. Tell me where you are — even if it's just a feeling — and we'll find the shape of it together.
