Describe the chart you want.

Type what you want in plain English and the Studio builds the chart, narrowed to a team or a period with an at-mention. Or pick one of nine analysis modes yourself. Every mode comes with a written warning about when its own answer cannot be trusted.

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.

The workbench

Nine ways to analyse your business.

Describe what you want in the bar at the bottom, or set the source, the pipeline and the time window on the left and pick a mode yourself. Try it: every mode below redraws the canvas and changes the note underneath, and every note is the product's own text.

Honest warnings

Know when a number is shaky.

The warnings were written by the people who built the maths, and they appear right beside the chart, where you will actually see them.

  • Get warned when a correlation is based on too few data points
  • Get warned when an anomaly flag has too little history behind it
  • Rankings pull small groups toward the average, so a lucky streak cannot top the table
  • Get told when there are too few orders to trust a bought-together pattern

Nine modes

Nine ways to look at the same question.

The Analyze mode alone includes six statistical tools, each with its definition on screen.

  • Build a pivot with subtotals and a grand total
  • See where things drop off, stage by stage, in a funnel
  • Compare two measures over the same time period
  • Split results into quartiles, or rank them fairly
  • See what gets bought together, and how much more often than chance

Same setup

Draw the same figures eight different ways without rebuilding.

Set it up once, then switch between a pivot, bars, stacked bars, a line, an area, a heatmap, a donut or a single headline figure. What you chose stays put while the drawing changes. Pick the one that makes your point and save that.

RebuildingNone of it
The setup stays while the shape changes
While you build

See the result before you save anything.

The Studio redraws on every change, using your own figures rather than a sample. Work you are still shaping never appears on a board or in anybody's list until you name it and save it. Half-built ideas stay yours.

While you work
Every changeRedrawn at once
Your own figuresNot a sample
Seen by othersOnly once saved
Nothing gets published by accident
Asking back

When the Studio cannot match your request, it asks you a question.

Ask for something the company does not record and you get a question back rather than a chart built on an invented figure. Everything it does build is checked against what you really keep, and anything it cannot recognise is refused before a chart is drawn.

A request it cannot place
You getA question back
You never getAn invented figure

Access

Who can do what.

Anyone can build in the Studio, using only the information they already have access to. Changing what a measure means affects every dashboard in the organisation, so keep that with a small group.

Do

Build in any mode, using what you have access to.

Manage

Save to the library and add to a board.

Admin

Define measures and decide who can publish to everyone.

Admin is the highest role and is not limited by these permissions, so give it only to the small group that genuinely needs it.

One question, start to finish

One typed sentence, one honest answer.

The question was whether too much of the business depended on too few. The Studio ran a proper concentration analysis instead of a top-ten chart, said why that was the right starting point, and kept the same filters when the question changed to ranking. The team with only two results did not top the table.

Typed as a plain sentence, narrowed to a team and a time period with at-mentions.
