We’re a small shop that reads spreadsheets for a living. It adds up.

Sifterra began the way most useful things do — with somebody staring at a report that raised more questions than it answered. A dispatcher we knew had spent a whole Tuesday rolling a crew to a site the numbers already said was fine, because the numbers were buried in a spreadsheet nobody had opened since March.

That was the whole thesis, really. West Texas operators are not short on data. They’re short on time to read it, and short on someone who will build the plumbing so the reading happens on its own. So we set up on Estes Ave and started doing exactly that: pipelines that refresh overnight, one screen an ops lead will actually open, and a model only when a prediction changes what somebody would do.

We’d rather remove a subscription than add one, and rather hand you the source than keep you on a retainer.

We stayed deliberately small. Every engagement is scoped, built, and handed over documented — the code, the notes, and the reasoning for each choice. If you want us on call afterward, that’s a separate conversation, never a quiet default. The practice hasn’t changed much since that first dispatcher’s Tuesday. It still comes down to making the numbers you already keep say something out loud.
