The Mission

Every small and medium-sized business faces the same fundamental challenge: their data lives in silos. Marketing maintains their metrics in one system, sales tracks progress differently, and finance operates with yet another set of numbers. Ask "How are we performing?" and you'll receive three different answers from three different teams.

These businesses recognize they need proper business intelligence, not just dashboards, but genuine insight into their operations. Yet when they explore solutions, they encounter enterprise platforms that cost more than their entire IT budget, requiring expensive consultants to implement and maintain.

The result? They settle for static reports where making a single change triggers a chain of requests that can take days or weeks to resolve.

Building Intelligence, Not Just Dashboards

We're building an intelligent data platform designed specifically for structured data: any information that can be organized in tabular form, whether that's Excel files, CSV exports, or data from your existing ERP or CRM systems.

Our focus isn't just creating appealing visualizations, but developing genuine understanding from your data.

The BI Protocol

At the core of our approach is what we call a BI Protocol (we welcome better naming suggestions). This instruction-based system allows our engine to generate business intelligence that follows your specific rules and requirements, while maintaining complete transparency.

Every insight comes with what we term "certification of the datum," a clear trail showing exactly how each number or conclusion was derived.

The Goal

Reliable intelligence you can trust, with the transparency to understand how it was created.
