Business Intelligence & Reporting

A dashboard keeps its credibility only until a director checks a figure against the bank. We make sure that figure holds.

Questions we help answer

What we do

  • Reporting design

    A reporting hierarchy from board pack to operational dashboards, with each view tied to a decision and a named owner.

  • Dashboard build

    Dashboards in tools such as Looker Studio or Power BI, built on reconciled data models, with platform connectors used only where they match source totals.

  • Automated reporting packs

    Weekly and monthly packs generated on a schedule, with space for commentary from the finance and commercial leads.

  • Alerting

    Threshold checks on key metrics with the baseline written into each rule, so an alert states how far a figure moved and from where.

How we approach it

  1. 01

    Start from the decision

    Each view exists because someone takes a named decision with it. Views without a decision are left out of the first release.

  2. 02

    Reconcile before visualising

    Figures are agreed with the ledger and the order book before any chart is built, and remaining differences are listed with their cause.

  3. 03

    Show definitions on the page

    Each tile carries its definition and source, so a reader can tell platform-reported revenue from recorded revenue.

  4. 04

    Segment before alarming

    Rates are split by channel or traffic source before an alert fires, so a new campaign bringing low-intent visitors does not read as a fall in conversion across the business.

How an engagement with THEFOCUS starts

A first conversation is about your situation. If there is a fit, we propose a scoped diagnostic with a fixed deliverable before any larger commitment.

Discuss this with us
  1. 01

    A working conversation

    Forty-five minutes with the person who would lead the work. We ask about the decision, the systems behind it and the deadline.

  2. 02

    A scoped diagnostic

    Read-only access, a fixed timeframe and a written finding: what the records show, what it costs and what to change first.

  3. 03

    A plan you can act on

    Changes, owners, measures and exclusions in writing. The same team then builds and measures, or hands over cleanly.

One accountable team
The people who diagnose also build the systems and measure the result.
Partners chosen per problem
Independent specializts join for the parts that need them, under one contract.
Records before dashboards
Orders, ledgers and logs are reconciled before any recommendation depends on them.

Questions executives ask

Which BI tool do you use?

Whichever your team already licenses and can maintain, where it is adequate. The data model and definitions matter more to the result than the charting tool, and they move with you if you change tools later.

Can you fix our existing dashboards rather than rebuild them?

Often, yes. We reconcile each existing figure to its source first. Views whose numbers hold are kept, and only those that cannot be reconciled are rebuilt.
