Data Investigation

Find the Margin Leaks Already Sitting in Your Data

Deep-dive diagnostics on the operational data you already have. Delivered as findings and models, not dashboards.

01Overview

You already collect enough data to answer the questions that matter. It's in the ERP, the CRM, the POS, the maintenance logs, the telematics feed. It just never gets read, because reading it properly is a week of someone's full attention and nobody has that week. So we take it. We pull the data, work through it, and come back with what it says: where margin is leaking, where your forecasts are wrong and by how much, and which of those is worth doing something about first. You get the findings and the models behind them, so another engineer can check our work.

What's Included

◈

Margin leak analysis

Line by line across jobs, SKUs, routes, or customers — where money is going that nobody has looked at closely.

⬡

Forecast error breakdown

How wrong your current forecasts are, where the error concentrates, and whether it is the kind of error that can be fixed.

◉

Cross-system reconciliation

Your ERP and your CRM disagree about something basic. We work out which one is right and when they drifted apart.

◈

Anomaly review

The records that do not fit the pattern. Some are data entry errors, some are the actual problem — they get separated.

⬡

The models themselves

You get the code and the notebooks, not just the conclusions. Nothing is a black box you have to take on faith.

◉

Written findings

A document you can hand to someone who was not in the room, written so they will follow it.

03

How It Works

01

Scoping call

What you want to know, and which systems hold the answer. If your data cannot support the question, you find that out here rather than later.

02

Data extract

Read-only extracts from the systems involved. Nothing in your live environment is modified at any point.

03

Investigation

The actual work: profiling, reconciling, modeling, and chasing down whatever looks wrong until it either explains itself or turns out to be the finding.

04

Findings review

A call to walk through what turned up, in order of how much money is attached to it.

05

Handover

The written findings, the models, and a plain list of what we would look at next if it were ours.
