You’ll recognise the situation.
Most of the work we do starts with one of these. Each one, in the words we hear it — and what we do about it.
What we build.
Not a data project. A set of numbers, each with an owner, each answering a question someone actually asks.
Five steps, starting with the questions — not the data.
Watch the right-hand side: a question becomes a number, the number gets a definition and an owner, its sources connect, it takes its place on a view, and the view joins the routine.
Workshops with the people who decide. What do you need to know, how often, and what would you do differently if you knew it?
Each KPI written down and signed off by its owner before a single chart exists.
Sources connected, data cleaned and consolidated into one view — the foundation every dashboard reads from.
Dashboards and reports built on the model, reviewed with their owners on real data, and cut down to what gets used.
Scheduled delivery, alert thresholds, and a short period of tuning while the numbers become part of how the meeting runs.
The questions we get first.
Answered the way we would answer them on a call — plainly, and without a pitch.
