What this pillar owns
For the buyer making decisions from data they don't fully trust

Data Intelligence is infrastructure, not reporting.

Most mid-market businesses have reporting. Very few have data they trust. The dashboards exist but reconcile differently depending on who built them. Attribution credits channels that didn't earn it. CAC is calculated three ways and nobody agrees on the number. Leadership makes decisions on data they've learned to distrust.

We build the infrastructure layer beneath the reports. The pipelines, definitions, and attribution models that make the numbers consistent. Then we build the reporting layer on top, for the people who actually make decisions with it, not for the people who build dashboards.

This pillar operates as an Analytics + BI practice embedded in your business. Not a one-time dashboard project, but an operating data function that evolves with the business.

This is the right pillar if:

  • Marketing and finance use different CAC numbers
  • Attribution reports show things that don't match revenue reality
  • Reports are rebuilt manually every week in spreadsheets
  • Leadership can't see the business clearly enough to make fast decisions
  • Channel investment decisions are made on gut, not data
Where this fits the Foes model
How we operate

Every engagement runs the same arc.

Diagnose, build, then operate. Phases are gated, not dated. We earn the next one before moving.

01
Frame · Establish what's true.

Data quality audit: what the business actually has, what it's collecting, what it's missing, and where the numbers in the current reports are wrong. Most businesses are surprised by the last part.

02
Implement · Build the measurement layer.

Analytics instrumentation, attribution modeling, and the data pipelines that make reporting consistent and trustworthy across every system in the stack.

03
Operate · Turn data into decisions.

BI dashboards, executive reporting, and the operating rhythm to use them. Data that lives in a portal nobody opens is not an asset. We build for adoption.

Engagement packages

Most data problems are actually three problems.We solve them as a system.

One pillar, one URL. Systems are sections on this page, not a separate Solutions catalogue. The scope is set against the diagnostic, so you buy the system the business needs, not a fixed package off a shelf.

Data Intelligence questions

What working in this pillar looks like.

Pillar-specific questions. The Services page covers how the firm engages overall.

We have a lot of data but can't make sense of it. Where do you start?

With the audit. In our experience, businesses with 'a lot of data' typically have fragmented data: numbers that don't reconcile between systems, attribution that overcounts or undercounts, and definitions that vary by team. The assessment identifies where the data is trustworthy and where it isn't, so we build on a clean foundation rather than a fast one.

Do you build in our existing BI tools or bring your own?

We work in your tools: Looker, Tableau, Power BI, or whatever your team uses. If you don't have a BI tool yet, we help you select the right one for your scale and build the initial reporting layer in it. We don't create dependency on proprietary dashboards.

How do we know our attribution is wrong if we don't already know?

The signal is usually a disagreement: marketing reports lead volume, sales reports pipeline health, and leadership is trying to reconcile two numbers that don't match. Or CAC is high and nobody agrees on what's driving it. When the same business event looks different in three different reports, the attribution is wrong.

How long does a reporting infrastructure project take?

A clean baseline, data audit, pipeline connections, and a core dashboard set, typically takes eight to twelve weeks. The complexity driver is usually the number of systems that need to connect, not the dashboard design. Attribution modeling for a multi-channel business takes longer and runs alongside implementation.

The next move.

Do you trust your numbers?

The data audit surfaces which reports are telling the truth and which aren't. Most leadership teams are surprised which is which.
