As someone who is not in the field but reads about it from time to time I see the same theme over and over: The formatting, consistency, and manual cleanup of data. The theme of data scientists who are "data janitors" that spend most of their time "cleaning data" is a consistent one.

So what exactly are you asking?

Are you saying that paying for the AWS product is too expensive and you want to pay a consultant to talk about alternatives?

Are you looking for flat rate consultants to answer infrastructure questions for you?

Clarify your question and your goals.

Any Kanban board should work.

A couple ideas:

If you don't like privacy then you don't need curtains in your house.

Ask them to unlock their phone and hand it to you. Most people will balk.

One thing to think about is that some people don't mind losing their privacy to the government or a corporation but they do care about losing it to real humans that know them. As an example, if a husband is cheating on his wife he doesn't care if the NSA or Big Tech knows about it because they (most likely) won't do anything negative with that information. But he would want to keep that information from people he knows because they may use it against him and will definitely treat him differently by having that knowledge.

Food for thought.

Thanks
