Ask a question in plain English.

Nine ways to analyse your business, all built on one shared set of numbers. Every mode is honest about its limits, every empty chart explains why it is empty, and a number means the same thing on every board in the company.

Say itType the chart you want, and it builds it

Deals by stage this quarter. Scope it to a team, a pipeline or a period with an at-mention, and what comes back is a real widget you can save to a board.

What it solves

Four problems it fixes.

These are not charting problems. Fixing them takes a tool that understands its own maths, its own definitions and where its data comes from.

01
Charts that look right but are wrong

Every analysis mode warns you about its own limits, in plain words. Correlate says a strong-looking link on a handful of points is usually coincidence. Anomaly says it needs enough history to know what normal looks like. Ranking stops a team with only two results from topping a table on a lucky sample.

02
Two departments, two versions of revenue

Ninety-nine measures define what each number means, once, for the whole company. A board can filter a measure down to its own team or period. It cannot change what the measure means.

03
A blank chart with no explanation

An empty chart tells you why it is empty: there is no data yet, the filters match nothing, the date range is empty, or the breakdown needs a pipeline it has not been given. Every message comes with the fix.

04
Numbers that are a day out of date

Reports and boards show live figures. There is no export to run, no connector to set up and no overnight update to wait for, so a number cannot quietly go stale.

The Studio

Nine analysis modes, each honest about its limits.

Pivot, reports, charts, funnel, correlate, analyze, anomaly, ranking and affinity, all sharing the same filters. Pick a mode below to see it, along with the caution the product shows underneath. That text comes straight from the app.

One set of numbers

Ninety-nine measures, 27 chart types.

A measure is a company-wide definition of one number: what it counts, how it adds up, which currency it uses, and whether it builds over a period or is taken at a moment. Every chart and board uses that definition instead of inventing its own.

What a measure defines

  • What it counts, and how. Count, sum, average, minimum, maximum or count distinct.
  • One base currency. Totals across markets add up correctly without anyone converting by hand.
  • Flow or snapshot. Revenue builds up over a period. Headcount is taken at a moment, so it is never added up across months.
  • A display format. A percentage always shows as a percentage, on every board.

Where the numbers come from

  • Sales. Deals, pipeline and won revenue, converted into your base currency instead of the mix of currencies the deals were quoted in.
  • Human Resources. Headcount taken at a moment in time, so monthly figures are never wrongly added together.
  • Projects. Sprint velocity, cycle time and what shipped, straight from the issues on the board.
  • Comms. Calls, emails and chat volume, plus the share of replies the AI handled instead of a person.

There is nothing to connect or configure. Because Sales, Human Resources, Projects and Comms all run in NearSync, Analytics sees their numbers the moment they change. A report is never a day out of date.

The registry

Every measure, and what it counts, in plain English.

This is the list the last section was talking about. Open one and it tells you what it counts, which currency it converts through, and which boards are reading it.

Boards

A board per department, and a lock on the ones that matter.

Teams build what they need, and the boards the company reports on are locked so they do not quietly drift the week before a board meeting.

Report typesThe shapes a report can take, and what each is best for.
Table

Rows and columns with subtotals and a grand total. Best for detail you read or export, grouped by a dimension.

Chart

A bar, line or donut for one measure over time or across a segment. Best for spotting trend and comparison at a glance.

Number

A single KPI with its period-over-period delta. Best for one headline figure you watch, like weighted forecast.

Pivot

A measure cross-tabbed by two dimensions with subtotals. Best for owner-by-month style breakdowns.

Best practicesThe vocabulary the workbench assumes, in plain terms.
What a measure is

A measure is a governed metric: an entity plus an aggregation plus a field, currency-safe and resolved through its links. The metric is the number it computes.

Build on measures, not raw columns, so every board speaks the same governed language.

When to use a cohort

A cohort splits records into quartile tiers by a measure, so the top 25 percent stands apart from the rest.

Reach for a cohort when an average hides the spread and you need to see the top tier against the tail.

How scope works

Scope decides whose rows a board reads: org, mine, team, or a specific person. Boards stay private until you share them.

Set scope to the audience, not the author. A team board reads the team, not just you.

Finding your way

What already exists, and the vocabulary the rest assumes.

The questions we get asked.

Anything longer lives in the help centre.

How many dashboards can we build?

As many as you need, per department, with a lock on the ones that should not drift.

Do we have to define our own metrics?

Only if you want to. Ninety-nine are ready across eleven departments, each explaining in plain English what it counts.

Will two reports disagree about revenue?

No. A measure is defined once and every board reads that one definition, so revenue means the same thing in Sales as it does in Finance.

Can we get the numbers out?

Yes. Any report, from any module, exportable, because it is your data and it should never be hard to leave with.

Get every board in the company agreeing on the numbers.
