The $500K Question
Your team is about to bet next quarter on something. Maybe a feature push. Maybe a lifecycle workflow. Maybe a new growth program. This diagnostic is built to answer the uncomfortable question first: is this actually the right thing to bet on before you burn the quarter proving it the hard way?
See what actually moves revenue before you burn a quarter
- A ranked view of which behaviors, features, segments, or workflows correlate most with revenue
- A stop-doing list for sacred cows that look important but do not move the metric
- A sharper MVP-first roadmap for the next experiment or activation workflow
- A clean handoff into activation or product analytics implementation
This is for you if...
- Your roadmap is full of plausible ideas but weak proof
- You need to know where product, marketing, and revenue data agree before you place the next bet
- You want an MVP-first approach, not a six-month analytics program
- You need evidence strong enough to change the planning conversation
This isn't the right fit if...
- You want a perfect model of every customer behavior before acting
- You need a large experimentation platform implementation
- You are unwilling to stop doing things the data does not support
What you get
Leverage map
A ranked view of the growth bets, features, segments, or workflows most tied to real outcomes.
Stop-doing list
The initiatives that look important but are not earning their place in the plan.
MVP recommendation
A practical first workflow or analytics implementation to prove value fast.
Implementation path
A direct next step into Data Activation or a narrower analytics engagement.
How It Works
Frame
We identify the upcoming bets, the target metric, and the systems holding the relevant product, growth, and revenue data.
Connect
We line up usage, acquisition, lifecycle, and outcome data well enough to compare signal against noise.
Rank
We produce a leverage map showing what appears correlated with revenue, retention, or expansion — and what does not.
Decide
You leave with a sharper next bet, a clearer stop-doing list, and a pragmatic path to implementation.

Warehouse-as-CDP approach replaced an expensive vendor and improved activation flexibility
They were paying $120K/year for a CDP they’d outgrown. We replaced it with warehouse-native segmentation and reverse ETL — more flexibility, fraction of the cost.
