Discuss this use case How it works
Led by operators with 15+ years building commerce products, teams and systems. About us
Today
Leadership assembles extracts and commentary from several teams, then reconstructs which figures agree and what needs action.
With this in place
A concise trading brief joins verified measures, supported explanations, open questions and accountable next actions.
Who does what, step by step.
Your team
Leaders agree which decisions the brief supports, assign actions and review follow-through.
AI
AI drafts the explanation of what moved, separating evidence, hypotheses and unknowns.
Automation
Scheduled checks reconcile figures across sources and flag timing or definition differences.
Step 1: Your team
Agree the decision frame
Define which leadership decisions the brief must support and which measures matter.
Step 2: Automation
Reconcile the figures
Check timing, definitions and significant source differences before drafting.
Step 3: AI
Explain supported movement
Connect verified changes to the commercial context; separate evidence, hypotheses and unknowns.
Step 4: Your team
Assign follow-through
Record actions and owners, then revisit unresolved questions and previous decisions at the next review.
Guardrails
- Generated commentary cannot override unreconciled figures.
- Keep capacity, cash, revenue and contribution definitions distinct.
- Commercial decisions remain with the responsible leadership and functional owners.
What a first project includes.
A bounded first build around your systems and team. We agree the scope, fee and baseline before we start.

- Reviewed narrative with visible gaps and assumptions
- An action log linked to the management review cadence
We start from
- Comparable order, margin, acquisition and inventory figures
- Metric definitions and reconciliation results
- Commercial changes, prior actions and source-owner commentary

Baselines agreed before we build.
Questions teams ask.
- Do we need to replace our current tools?
Usually not. We start with the systems you already use and build only what’s missing.
Typical connections: Accounting, ERP, BI dashboards, commerce and marketing data.
- Who owns it once it’s running?
Your team does. You own the agreed deliverables under the engagement terms, with documentation and training for the people who run it. Ownership usually sits with your COO, finance lead or commercial director.
Ongoing support is optional and agreed separately.
- How do we get started?
If the problem and scope are already clear, we can scope this build directly. If you’re weighing it against other priorities, start with Discovery & Action Plan.
Its fee is credited in full if we build the recommended work.
How discovery works
Often paired with.
Part of Commercial and supply planning
- Growth & acquisition
Search performance diagnosis
Traffic reports show movement but not a useful explanation or next action.
Evidence-linked diagnosis distinguishing demand, conversion and measurement issues.
- Merchandising & commercial planning
Promotion orchestration
Offer details and dependencies diverge across teams and channels.
Connected offer rules, briefs and channel tasks that respond to changes and keep approval status visible.
- Customer service & support
Customer intelligence into action
Customer feedback never consistently reaches the teams that can act on it.
Evidence-backed themes, owners and action briefs.
More connected work
Get from numbers to decisions every week. Start with the report you rebuild most often.
