ROI Logic

Agencies can charge a premium because they deliver the full analytics stack: data modeling, source integration, and analyst review, which clients without internal data teams cannot replicate. The retainer creates recurring revenue while the setup fee covers the heavy lifting, and the platform's white-label options let agencies brand the deliverable as their own, increasing perceived value.

Deliverables
  • Unified data model and source documentation
  • White-labeled executive and operational dashboards
  • Automated alert configuration with threshold logic
  • Self-serve training session and user guide
  • Recurring reporting cadence with narrative insights
Definition of Done

Client stakeholders have access to live dashboards and alerts, have completed a training session, and have signed off on the first automated report.
