We're making decisions blind

By

Decisions are made blind when basic numbers, such as conversion by channel or retention by cohort, are missing or untrusted. Fix the few measurements your biggest decisions depend on first, rather than trying to track everything.

We're making decisions blind

We're making decisions blind

Problem

Big decisions are made with almost no data.

Budget allocation, pricing and product priorities are decided without knowing basic numbers: what converts, who stays, what each customer is worth. The data either does not exist or nobody trusts it.

Every major choice is a leap of faith.

Insight

You do not need to track everything. You need the right few numbers.

Most important decisions rest on a handful of measures. Getting those right, reliable and easy to see, gives far more value than a large tracking project that never finishes.

Start from the decisions, then work back to the data.

How we approach it

We get you the numbers your decisions depend on.

  1. We list your biggest upcoming decisions and the numbers each one needs.
  2. We fix or set up tracking for those numbers first.
  3. We put them in one simple view that leadership checks before deciding.

Your biggest decisions are made with the facts in front of you.
