The analyst who has sat in every seat at the table.

Most consultants have seen business decisions from exactly one chair. Over 20 years inside industrial companies, Michael Hopper has occupied nearly all of them — analyst, marketing manager, plant superintendent, business development manager, director of sales.

He started at Hilti, building the centralized sales, product, and inventory reporting a global construction-tools company runs on. Then twelve years at PACCAR Winch — a division of one of the most consistently profitable manufacturers in America — where he built the market-analysis program, ran pricing and margin strategy, superintended a production plant through a 30% productivity gain, mapped the opportunities that produced $2.5M in new sales, and led the sales organization as director.

That path is the point. When your analyst has also carried the quota, run the plant floor, and owned the P&L consequences, the analysis stops being academic. It gets practical, fast.

“Data with integrity makes the best decisions.”— The principle behind the firm's name

Michael lives just outside Tahlequah, Oklahoma, and works with manufacturers, builders, and distributors across eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas — in person from Tulsa to Fort Smith to Northwest Arkansas, and remotely anywhere.

Current tooling

Old-school rigor, current-generation tools

The toolkit spans advanced Excel and Power Query, SQL, Tableau, CRM platforms (Dynamics 365, Pipedrive), SAP Business Warehouse, and data extraction from legacy AS400 systems — the stack most regional manufacturers actually run on.

It's also current: Michael has independently designed, built, and shipped three native iOS apps to the Apple App Store using AI-assisted development workflows — owning concept, build, and deployment end to end. The same modern tooling shows up in client work: faster analysis, cleaner deliverables, lower cost than a traditional consulting team.

That capability is exactly what powers the firm's small-business side — professional websites, Google Business Profile optimization, and reputation tools, built fast and affordably. This very website is an example of the work. Twenty years of business judgment behind the marketing means every recommendation is measured, not guessed.
