Questions
What people ask first.
Isn't this just reporting?
Reporting shows the numbers. Descriptive analytics makes sure they are defined consistently, comparable over time, and explained. It is the groundwork that makes reporting, forecasting, and everything after it trustworthy.
How much history do we need?
Enough to see a pattern, which is usually a few years for planning questions and much less for operational ones. We work with what you have and are honest about what it can and cannot support.
What if our historical data is messy?
It almost always is. Cleaning and reconciling it is part of the work, and the result is a baseline you can keep building on.
