- Build a KPI driver tree
Decomposes a top-line metric into a driver tree with exact formulas, definitions and owners, so a change in the metric can be traced to the input that moved. Use for metric design and reviews.
- Analysis project track
Takes a stakeholder request from question to analysis plan, data checks, analysis and a decision-ready report, pausing for review between steps. Use when an analyst takes on a request.
- Automate a recurring report
Designs automation for a recurring report (sources, refresh, transformations, data checks, delivery) with tools matched to the team's skills. Use when a weekly or monthly report eats hours.
- Compare performance across periods
Compares performance across periods (YoY, MoM, like-for-like), handling trading days, holidays, seasonality and mix, and builds a variance story that adds up. Use before reporting a period change.
- Define a metric
Writes a precise metric definition (formula, grain, filters, edge cases, owner, known caveats) so every team computes the number the same way. Use when a metric is disputed or about to be launched.
- Explain budget variances
Writes budget-versus-actual variance commentary covering material variances, drivers, timing versus permanent effects and forecast impact. Use as an FP&A analyst or budget holder at month end.
- Write a DAX measure
Writes Power BI DAX measures from plain-language definitions, with filter-context explanations, time intelligence and expected test values. Use as a BI developer or analyst building a report.
- Write an insight report
Turns analysis results into a decision-oriented report with a headline finding, evidence, caveats and a recommendation. Use when you need to share an analysis with people who will act on it.
- Write a monthly business review
Writes a monthly business review with headline results, performance against plan by area, drivers, outlook, risks and the decisions needed from leadership. Use as an analyst or operations leader.
- Write a weekly metrics update
Writes a weekly business metrics update that explains movements against targets, the likely causes and the next actions. Use for the Monday update to leadership or the team channel.
