Business case
Size the analyst time, rework, and decision delay using your own baseline — then test one recurring workflow. This is a business case built on how the product works and the numbers you already have, not a spreadsheet of savings we invented for you.
See the interpretation. Approve the plan. Inspect what runs.
What to measure
Each maps to a specific behavior of the product and to a metric you already have or can measure this quarter. No slogans, no assumed savings.
Decide sooner
Spotonix interprets a question into a plan you approve before SQL runs, so fewer wrong-answer round-trips stand between the question and a number the team trusts. Baseline the time from “someone asks” to “the team accepts the answer,” and watch that window close.
Create capacity
Where an accepted plan is persisted and retrieved, the next person asking the same question can start from settled meaning instead of re-deriving it. Baseline the hours analysts spend rebuilding Segments and Calculations that already existed.
Strengthen control
Governed from intent through execution, deployed in your environment with existing permissions preserved. Baseline how often a number gets reconciled, a definition gets disputed, or a review sends work back — the “numbers war” that rarely lands on anyone’s budget.
Size it using your numbers
We're not going to hand you a payback period we made up. The value is real, but it's yours to size. Here are the levers that move it — put your figures in.
Sets the size of the team whose time reuse gives back.
Converts reclaimed hours into dollars you can defend.
The share reuse and accepted plans take back directly.
How often an accepted Answer can be reused instead of rebuilt.
The soft cost of the window that closes before the answer lands.
Reclaimed re-derivation time × loaded cost is the hard number you can bring to finance. Shorter question-to-answer time, and — where accepted plans are persisted and retrieved — reused Answers, compound quarter over quarter. Fewer definition disputes shows up as trust, not a line item — real, and harder to price.
Bring these to a scoped pilot and measure them against your current baseline — your numbers, not ours.
Prove it
The honest way to test a business case is on a scoped, time-boxed pilot with a baseline and acceptance criteria you set up front — against your own numbers.
One high-value recurring question your team owns — retention drivers, margin leakage, service levels.
Capture the current question-to-accepted-answer time, the re-derivation hours, and the rework and definition disputes — before you change anything.
Agree up front what “better” means — faster to an accepted answer, fewer rebuilds, fewer disputes — so the result is a decision, not another debate.
Questions become visible plans you approve; where accepted plans are persisted and retrieved, the next person starts from settled meaning. Runs alongside Tableau, Looker, or Power BI, in your environment, with existing permissions.
Bring a recurring question and your own baseline. We'll help you measure what interpreting-before-querying is worth to your team.
