Data, analytics, and decision support

From data to decisions you can act on.

We help organizations turn fragmented data into reporting, tools, and processes people can actually use to make decisions.

Sound familiar?

Most teams do not have a data shortage. They have a trust and clarity problem.

Every meeting starts with arguing about whose number is right.We agree on definitions once, reconcile the sources, and build reporting everyone uses.
Someone spends days each month rebuilding the same report by hand.We automate it so it refreshes itself and that time goes back to your team.
You have dashboards, but nobody is sure what to do differently because of them.We tie each analysis to a decision and give you a recommendation, not just a chart.
You know you need a data plan but do not know where to start.We map what to measure, who owns it, and what to build first, sized to your budget.

What we do

Six ways we help. Open any to see more.

01Dashboards and reporting+Reporting leadership opens and trusts.

Good fit if

Reports are manual, inconsistent, slow, or only one person knows how they work.

What you get

  • Executive and operational dashboards
  • A clean data model with agreed metric definitions
  • Scheduled refresh and documentation
Choosing the right format. Power BI is our default for reporting that lives long term, because it supports row-level security and refreshes automatically. For one-time analyses and small projects, a lightweight HTML report can be faster and more flexible, since it is not limited to a tool's built-in visuals. The tradeoffs are that it cannot enforce row-level security and its data needs to be updated manually. We will tell you which fits before we build.
02Analytics and insight+Answers to why it happened and what to do next.

Good fit if

You can see what happened but not why, or you are facing a question the standard reports cannot answer.

What you get

  • Deep-dive analysis on a defined business question
  • Findings written for decision makers
  • Clear next steps, not just charts
03Data strategy+A plan for what to measure, own, and build first.

Good fit if

Your data lives in many places, ownership is unclear, or you are about to invest in tools or people.

What you get

  • Assessment of current data and reporting
  • Prioritized roadmap sized to your team and budget
  • Governance and ownership recommendations
04Decision support+From analysis to a recommendation you can defend.

Good fit if

A significant decision is coming and you want evidence behind it, such as pricing, staffing, investment, or performance.

What you get

  • The question framed clearly up front
  • Options weighed with the data that matters
  • A recommendation and the reasoning behind it
05Workflow automation+Fewer manual steps and fewer errors.

Good fit if

People copy data between files, chase approvals by email, or rebuild the same deliverables on a schedule.

What you get

  • Automated flows using Power Automate and Power BI
  • Connected Microsoft 365 data and delivery
  • Handoff so your team can maintain it
06Training and enablement+Teams that can use their own data with confidence.

Good fit if

You have good reports that people do not use, or a team that needs to get comfortable working with data.

What you get

  • Data literacy training for business teams
  • Report and process training for the people who run them
  • Materials your team can keep using

Engagements

Scoped to the problem, not a package.

Some needs take a week. Others take six months and several deliverables. We shape the engagement around what you need, and we will tell you plainly if a smaller one will do.

Days to weeks

Sprint

A focused answer or a quick win. One question, one deliverable, done fast.

Weeks to months

Project

A defined build with clear deliverables, from a new reporting suite to a full data strategy.

Ongoing

Partnership

A steady relationship for continued analysis, improvement, and support as your needs grow.

How we work

A clear path from first call to finished work.

1

Discover

We learn your goals, systems, and data, then agree on scope and what success looks like.

2

Build

We develop the solution in steps with regular check-ins, so there are no surprises.

3

Deliver

We hand over finished, documented work and walk your team through it.

4

Iterate

Where the agreement includes it, we stay on to refine and extend the work.

Selected work

Results from past work, in plain terms.

Compliance and HR

Training completions moved from late to early.

An HR compliance team struggled to get people to finish required training. Completions usually came after the deadline, and the nudge was a punitive email with managers copied.

Analysis of past campaigns led to a change in when notifications went out. Completion rates rose, the spread of completion dates narrowed, and both the average and the median moved from after the deadline to before it.

The team stayed compliant without punitive emails, and the culture around training improved.

Completion timing for two training rollouts Two bell curves of completion timing relative to the due date. The first rollout is wide, with an average of about 20 days after the due date. The second rollout, with new notification timing, is much narrower, with an average of about 10 days before the due date. Due date Second rollout New notification timing First rollout -200-1000100200 ← Earlier Days relative to due date (0 = due date) Later →
First rolloutSecond rollout
Average completion19.8 days after the due date9.9 days before the due date
Standard deviation83.3 days32.7 days

The average moved about 30 days earlier. Standard deviation is a measure of how spread out completion dates were, and it fell by about 61 percent. In plain terms, people stopped finishing at random and started finishing together, ahead of the deadline.

Power BI performance

Smaller, faster Power BI models.

Power BI semantic models were reworked twice to fix two different problems.

At a dental group, slimming down oversized models kept the organization on its existing license tier and avoided a large subscription upgrade. At another organization, refresh times dropped after inefficient measures and calculated columns were fixed and the upstream data feeds were improved, so reports were ready at the start of the day.

Same capability, lower cost, and data that is there when people need it.

Security and governance

Row-level security, implemented three times.

Row-level security lets one semantic model and one set of reports serve many users, with each person seeing only the data they should. That keeps the team maintaining one asset instead of many, and it keeps people in high-turnover roles from seeing more than they need to, which prevents compliance problems.

It has been built at small scale and at large scale, for different companies and across multiple position levels.

Less maintenance for the team, and the right access for every role.

Your data

How we handle your data.

Handing over access is a real decision. This is how we keep it simple and safe.

Your environment first.

We work in your tools and under your accounts whenever possible, so your data stays where it already lives.

Least access.

We ask only for the access the work needs, and we agree on it in writing before we start.

Agreements in place.

We put written agreements in place to keep both of us safe during any engagement, especially before we touch sensitive data.

Nothing orphaned.

Everything we build is documented and handed over, so access and knowledge stay with you after the engagement ends.

What you keep when we are done

Data dictionary

Every field we use, what it means, and where it comes from.

Metric definitions

How each number is calculated, written down once so every report agrees.

Handoff guide

How the work is built and how your team runs and changes it.

Refresh and support notes

When the data refreshes, what to check if something breaks, and how to fix it.

FAQ

Questions people ask first.

How does an engagement start?+

With a free 30-minute call. We talk through what you are trying to solve and what you have today. If it is a fit, we follow with a written proposal that covers scope, deliverables, and timeline.

How long do projects take?+

It depends on the problem and how ready your data is. A focused sprint can take days. A larger build or strategy engagement can run several months. We set the timeline together after a short discovery, rather than promising a number up front.

What do you need from us?+

Access to the relevant data and systems, a point of contact who can make decisions, and a little time for check-ins. We handle the rest.

Do you need access to our systems?+

Usually read-only access to the specific sources the work needs, granted through your own accounts. We agree on exactly what in writing before we start, and we remove access when the engagement ends.

Where does our data go?+

It stays in your environment. We do not copy data to our own systems unless you ask us to and we agree on the terms first.

Do you put agreements in place?+

Yes. Before any engagement starts, we put written agreements in place to keep both sides safe, especially before we touch sensitive data.

Do you work with our existing tools?+

Yes. We work heavily in the Microsoft ecosystem, including Power BI, Power Automate, Excel, and Microsoft 365, and we connect to the databases and systems you already use.

Who owns the work?+

You do. Deliverables are documented and handed over so your team can run and maintain them without us.

What does it cost?+

Every engagement is scoped to the work, so we price after we understand the problem. Get in touch and we will give you a clear proposal.
