You're Not Doing Analytics. You're Doing Expensive Reporting.

In analytics, vendors get rich with tools that are easy to build, easy to position and easy to pitch to venture capitalists.

They don't care that you need more people to manage your analytics infrastructure. For them it's a feature, not a bug. If your team manages the whole ecosystem and they just plug in, they don't have to manage as much software and can be more profitable.

After decades of vendors following the same playbook, the analytics industry has become afragmented ecosystem of tools. Something for dashboards. Something for data processing. Something for monitoring. Something for moving the data between everything.

So analytics teams are forced to pick from the pile and build a Frankenstein of a technolgy stack. They end up fighting against their technology and not being fast enough to meet the often insane expectations of the business.

They struggle to hire the right people because the elite talent that can build the solutions they need is scarce, expensive and hard to retain. This talent also doesn't want to be paid peanuts to build dashboards and fight a mess of tools in a mid-tier company.

The default outcome is a sad sort of mediocrity. Dashboards that no one uses and analytics that no one acts on. Executives question the value of analytics and analytics leaders have to take the blame for outcomes they could not control. It's brutal.

Our team has felt this pain first-hand in in-house analytics teams in multinational companies and as consultants at places like McKinsey & Company. After a few too many rounds of burnout, we decided to do something about it.

We started by documenting the process we follow to build a great analytics strategy. We call it TrueState 360 and it's an eight-step process that helps analytics leaders go from a blank page to a prioritised, business-aligned analytics roadmap. This get's teams focused on the right problems, so that whatever they deliver is actually used.

You can find the framework here and for qualifiying buisinesses, we're offering a series of four free calls to walk you through the process and answer any questions you have. You can apply here.

Then we embarked on perhaps the most ambitious project of our careers: building a AI-native analytics platform that covers the entire analytics stack and fights for overworked and undergunned analytics teams. We've embedded our expertise and experience into a highly capable analytics agent and given that agent the world's most complete analytics platfform to use to deliver real analytics solutions for real businesses.

Our customers delegate ad-hoc analytics to their new agentic team member freeing capacity. Then they swap 6 months of painstaking modelling for a few hours of work and a few days of iteration. When they combine it with a great analytics strategy, they go from building unused dashboards to transforming their business with advanced analytics. Their teams change from being a service desk to a respected strategic pillar of their organisation.

Right now we have a limited number of customers we can support on our platform. If you're interested in learning more and seeing a demo, you can do so here.

If you're trying to build a great analytics capability, we'd be honored to help you.
