Business intelligence
Show the work, and what it changed
Software that runs an operation is also the best record of it. We build the reporting layer on top: live dashboards, impact maps, delivery timelines and board-ready reports, reading from the same database the work happens in.
Impact
Where the work actually landed
Most organisations can say what they spent. Far fewer can show where it reached. Choose a measure to reshade the map, or point at a site to see what is deployed there.
Deployed and running
Reach, by region and by site
A worked example on illustrative figures: 364 organisations across thirteen UK regions, reaching 265,600 people every working week. Shade the map by whichever measure matters, then take any region or site apart.
Interactive demonstration with illustrative figures. The regions, measures and sites show the shape of this reporting; they are not a client’s data.
Reporting
Every system we ship reports on itself
A worked example of the reporting layer we build in from the start, shown here on illustrative data for a fictional multi-site operator. Four views, four questions a monthly review has to answer. Every chart has a data table behind it, and every value in a tooltip is readable without one.

Active users by team
Three teams on one axis. Colour follows the team, never its rank, so the reading holds if the order changes.
- Field team
- Depot team
- Office team
Delivery
And the tooling that runs the project
The same discipline applied to the build itself: a timeline with real dependencies, and a board that shows what is moving and what is stuck. We build these for clients who want their own delivery visible, and we run our engagements on them.
Delivery tooling
One programme, a plan and a board
The scheduling and tracking surfaces we build for delivery teams, shown on an illustrative twenty week programme. Every value on the chart is also readable without a pointer.

- Design
- Build
- Integration
- Launch
Bars carry the share complete. The percentage is written on a bar only where it fits without crowding; every value is in the table view and on focus.
Interactive demonstration. Move a card with the arrow keys when it has focus, or collapse a workstream on the timeline.
Four audiences
One dataset, four different questions
A supervisor, a manager, a trustee and a funder are not asking the same thing. The same records answer all four, presented differently.
Operational
What is happening now. Live counts, queues, exceptions and alerts.
Management
What happened this period, against what was expected, and where it diverged.
Impact
What changed for people. Hours saved, reach, outcomes, and where geographically.
Board and funder
A short, defensible narrative with the figures that stand up to scrutiny.
How it is wired
A dashboard is only as good as its plumbing
Anyone can draw a chart. The hard part is that it stays true, stays current, and can be defended when someone asks where the number came from.
It reads from the system of record
Reporting sits on the same database the work happens in, so a figure on a board pack and a figure on a screen cannot disagree.
Every figure is traceable
A number on a chart can be opened down to the rows behind it. A report nobody can audit is a report nobody should act on.
Scheduled, not chased
Reports build themselves and arrive on a schedule, by email or into the tools your team already opens.
Exports that survive the meeting
CSV and XLSX for the analysts, PDF for the pack, and an API for whatever comes next.

Bring us the operation, we will show you what it is doing
If you already run software and cannot get a straight answer out of it, that is a reporting problem and it is fixable.
