Design-partner preview

Data Fastlane

The PM operating surface for data teams: intake, triage, requests, tasks, AI implementation, and human approval in one calm control plane.

One operating model for ad hoc work and planned projects.

Data Fastlane keeps requests as the source of truth, routes work into service queues or project lanes, then turns approved requirements into reviewed implementation tasks.

Workspace anchored

Built around how data teams actually work.

Stakeholders think in requests. Operators think in queues, projects, tasks, approvals, and quality gates. Data Fastlane gives both groups the right surface without forcing every request into a heavyweight project.

  • Requests stay first-class from intake through delivery.
  • Service Queue handles reactive analytics work.
  • Project lane keeps planned initiatives visible without burying ad hoc work.
  • Tasks stay visible to operators with parent request context everywhere.
01 / Intake

Stakeholder request lands with context.

Hosted forms, manual creation, and connected tools gather the business ask before it becomes engineering work.

02 / Clarify

AI drafts requirements. Humans approve.

Jasper asks missing questions, proposes a PRD, and waits for approval before downstream tasks begin.

03 / Ship

Tasks become reviewed pull requests.

For AI-eligible work, Data Fastlane writes dbt changes, runs quality gates, opens the PR, and leaves engineers with a focused review.

A platform surface that feels like the product.

The public site now borrows the same visual language as the control plane: charcoal surfaces, narrow borders, teal accent states, and operational density.

IN

Intake

Route stakeholder requests through domain-aware forms, hosted portals, or internal manual creation.

RQ

Requests

Keep demand visible as the source of truth with status, ownership, lane, approvals, and related work.

TS

Tasks

Expose the operator workload across requests without losing parent context or sibling scope.

AI

Agents

Run implementation pipelines with quality gates, audit trails, PR creation, and human review boundaries.

Preview roadmap, shaped with partners.

Design partners get a direct line into what ships next and the practical details that matter for real data-team operations.

In progress

Unified request creation

One entrypoint with AI workflow and manual modes, request-type fields, and clean routing into the right lane.

Workspace
Next up

Asset relationship visibility

See Task to Request to Project or Queue everywhere an asset appears, with navigable breadcrumbs.

Context
Next up

Manual requests with inline tasks

Build a request's task list without leaving the detail page, for work that needs PM structure without AI implementation.

Planning
Soon

Config as code

Version-controlled fastlane.yml for model selection, gates, templates, and team-owned automation settings.

Ops

The design partner offer.

Three companies. Free access during preview. Real product, real implementation support, and a seat at the roadmap table.

What we ask

A real partnership with real workload.

Bring your data work, your feedback, and the messy edge cases that make a platform worth building.

  • Use it on actual team workload.
  • Tell us what breaks and what feels slow.
  • Spend 30 minutes a week on feedback and design calls.
  • Give honest input on roadmap priority.
  • Intro one other data team when we are ready to expand.

Who makes a great partner?

We are looking for data teams with enough real work to stress-test the system and enough appetite to help steer it.

Your stack

  • dbt Core or dbt Cloud.
  • Snowflake, BigQuery, Postgres, or similar warehouse.
  • GitHub for version control and pull requests.
  • Jira, Linear, Notion, or another planning surface.
  • Slack for team communication.

Your situation

  • Three to thirty person data team.
  • Mix of ad hoc requests and planned initiatives.
  • Backlog and intake chaos you want to tame.
  • InfoSec is comfortable with a data plane in your VPC.
  • Willing to give direct feedback on a young product.
