DATA READINESS CAPABILITIES

Four capabilities to provide the full data story.

We build four connected capabilities on the same governed data, each one untangles the complexity found in recurring-revenue business models. 

01 Who your customers really are

Customer 360

Operating parent hierarchy
GUP → subsidiary → billing account, across 100% of ARR.
GICS classification
Four-level segmentation, investor-standard format.
Concentration metrics
Top-10/20 parent ARR: the lender risk format.
Tenure & lifetime value

Built on your stack — whatever your stack is.

The cube is an architecture, not a product. It composes from the platforms you already run: your CRM, ERP, planning tools, cloud warehouse, and BI layer, with governance patterns that travel across vendors: version control, automated data-quality testing, role-based access, and full lineage from boardroom number to source transaction.
