Data & analytics
Define data, analytics & AI initiatives with confidence.
Built on decades of enterprise data & analytics experience, this framework helps teams uncover hidden data dependencies before they become expensive project delays.
Why it’s different
Data & analytics initiatives are different.
A small software change often stays small.
A small data & analytics change often doesn’t.
The biggest risks usually hide behind requests that look completely reasonable.
Good teams eventually learn where projects usually go wrong. We don’t think every team should have to learn those lessons from scratch.
Built-in data & analytics experience
We’ve already learned where these projects go wrong.
We’ve encoded decades of enterprise data & analytics experience into Decision Formula, so your team starts with proven project knowledge instead of rediscovering the same problems.
- Already knows the questions experienced analysts ask.
- Finds hidden dependencies before they become delays.
- Focuses on the assumptions that derail delivery.
- Built from real-life enterprise data & analytics projects.
We don’t try to document everything. We focus on the things that can derail the project.
Ecosystem
Built for enterprise data teams.
Decision Formula fits naturally into the tools data teams already use.
The initiative model
How experienced practitioners think about complex initiatives.
Experienced practitioners don’t think about initiatives as one long requirements document. They organize them into a few connected areas that make complex initiatives easier to understand, discuss and improve.
Business intent
- Objectives
- Questions
- KPIs
- Success criteria
- Outputs
Data
- Source systems
- Datasets
- Dimensions
- Grain
- Business rules
Implementation
- Dependencies
- Ownership
- Integrations
- Lineage
- Consumers
Readiness
- Evidence
- Assumptions
- Conflicts
- Clarifications
- Accepted risks
