Turn your question into a brief.
Pick any. If you pick none we start with the two most common.
What is driving gross margin, by how much, and what would happen to it if we changed list price and promotions?
- Price elasticity model
- Price, volume and mix bridge
- Scenario model
- Sales by product and month
- Price and discount history
- Promotion calendar
- Unit costs
- W1.1Agree the decision and the threshold.
- W1.2Profile the data: sales by product and month and price and discount history.
- W1.3Interview the people who run the process, and walk it end to end.
Five steps, no black box.
- Scope
- Immerse
- Analyse
- Test the evidence
- Read out and hand over
Move a lever. Watch the result.
Drag the price sensitivity and watch the best price jump. That number is in no dashboard. It has to be measured from your own history.

An illustration on a made-up baseline, using a constant-sensitivity model. Not a forecast. Real answers come from your own price and volume history.
Answers, and the model to keep.
Fixed scope, fixed fee.
Sprint: A sharp question you already have.

Quick answers.
What is advanced analytics here?
Analyst-led investigation of one business question. We go deep into your data, your processes and the people who run them, and answer with evidence: what drives what, by how much, what works best and what happens if you change something.
How is it different from a dashboard?
A dashboard describes what happened. Advanced analytics explains why, measures how much each factor matters, and lets you test a change before you make it.
How long does it take?
A sprint takes 2 to 3 weeks and a full study about 6. Scope and fee are fixed before we start, never billed by the hour.
What do you need from us?
One decision to inform, a named person who knows the data, access under an NDA, and an hour with the people who run the process in week one.
Do you promise a return?
Not in advance, because the answer is not known until the analysis is done. We size the value of the decision it enables, and every finding comes with its evidence and a range.
