Get answers from your data in minutes, not weeks
Your analysts pull numbers from Salesforce, the ERP, and a stack of spreadsheets, and by the time the report is ready the data is stale. We build a custom analytics layer that sits on top of your systems and answers questions in plain English. An executive types a question in Slack and gets a sourced answer back.
The Cost of Slow Insights
Strategic decisions get blocked on data wrangling. Here's what's really happening:
6+ Weeks for Quarterly Reports
Analysts manually pull data from Salesforce, ERP, databases, and spreadsheets. By the time the report is done, data is outdated.
Executives Need Answers Now
"Why did churn increase?" "Which products underperform?" Strategic questions require immediate answers, but your team needs weeks.
Insights Buried in Data Silos
Sales in Salesforce, finance in QuickBooks, operations in ERP, marketing in HubSpot. Nobody has a unified view.
Cost of Slow Insights
Competitors move faster, decisions made with outdated info, high-value analysts waste time on data cleanup.

Common Questions About Decision Intelligence
Traditional BI tools require manual data preparation, SQL knowledge, and pre-built dashboards. Our solution offers natural language queries (no SQL needed), AI-powered insights that answer questions you didn't think to ask, proactive alerts that surface issues automatically, and a unified data layer where we handle the messy integration work. Think of it as "BI + AI + Data Engineering" in one package.
This is extremely common. 70% of our projects start with data quality issues. We perform a data audit during discovery, implement automated data cleaning and validation, provide data quality scoring and monitoring, and ensure gradual improvement over time. We'll tell you upfront if your data isn't ready and recommend a preparation phase if needed.
Yes. We've connected to 30+ year old mainframe systems, custom-built ERPs with no APIs, on-premise databases behind firewalls, SaaS tools with rate-limited APIs, and spreadsheets updated manually. If your system can export data (even manually), we can work with it.
Our target is 90%+ accuracy. We achieve this through Text-to-SQL validation, RAG for sourced answers, confidence scoring (AI tells you when it's unsure), and human-in-the-loop for critical decisions. "Financial calculations: 98%+. Trend analysis: 90-95%. Predictive forecasting: 85-90%."
We build flexibility into the system. New columns, records, and format changes are handled automatically. For major changes like new tables or business logic, we provide documentation for your team to make updates, or offer hourly consulting ($200-300/hour) or monthly retainers ($5K-15K/month).
Yes to both. LLM options include OpenAI GPT-4, Anthropic Claude, Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, or self-hosted open-source models. For data residency, we support cloud deployment in your account, on-premise in your data center, hybrid, or fully air-gapped solutions.
Security is built-in from day one: encryption at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3), role-based access control, audit logging, SSO integration, and MFA. We're SOC 2 Type II ready, GDPR compliant, HIPAA compliant if required, and support industry-specific regulations.
