Outcome 05 — Measure what matters

A clear picture of what's working and why.

Analytics implementation. Attribution modeling. Data warehouses on BigQuery, Cloud SQL, or whatever fits. Looker Studio dashboards for the operators. Executive reporting for the board. Built for any scale, designed to last.

Most analytics setups are a monument to early-stage decisions.

Most analytics setups are a monument to early-stage decisions that no one had time to revisit. GA4 hooked up wrong. Conversions firing on the wrong events. Three dashboards that disagree about the same number. The team stopped trusting any of it months ago.

Our measurement work fixes the foundation: implementation that's correct on day one, attribution that reflects the actual buyer journey, dashboards that the team uses because they answer the questions the team is actually asking. Then the warehouses, pipelines, and BI layer that scale up to enterprise reporting.

We've built this stack at every size — from focused SMBs to enterprise-scale BI pipelines running across hundreds of locations. The scale changes; the discipline doesn't.

How we deliver this outcome

Six layers.
Bottom-up.

Implement

Analytics implementation

GA4, server-side tagging, GTM, conversion API integrations for Meta and Google, lifetime-value tracking. The boring foundational work that determines whether every downstream metric is trustworthy.

Attribute

Attribution modeling

Multi-touch, position-based, data-driven, custom. The right model depends on the buyer journey and the data you can capture. We don't sell one religion; we pick what reflects reality.

Warehouse

Data warehouses

BigQuery, Cloud SQL, Snowflake, Redshift — the platform that fits your stack and budget. We design for the queries you'll run in three years, not just the ones you're running today.

BI

Looker Studio & BI dashboards

Operator dashboards for the team, executive dashboards for the board. Built on top of the warehouse so every number traces back to the source. No manual exports.

Report

Executive reporting

Weekly, monthly, quarterly. Designed for the audience — operators get raw data, executives get the narrative, boards get the trend. We write the templates and the team owns the recurring delivery.

Audit

Implementation audits

Inheriting an existing analytics setup? We audit it before we trust it. Most audits surface 2-4 silent measurement bugs that have been distorting decisions for months.

Proof

BI at national scale.

BigQuery + Cloud SQL + Looker Studio pipeline

Circle K — CleanFreak & Rainstorm

We operate the analytics warehouse, BI pipeline, and executive dashboards across hundreds of locations. Sub-day reporting on revenue, throughput, retention, and operational metrics that flow up to leadership and back down to operators.

Paid attribution + ecommerce reporting

Teton Gravity Research

Multi-channel paid attribution and Shopify revenue reporting tied to film release windows. The 7× ROAS metric is sustained over multi-year measurement, not a single launch peak.

FAQ

What buyers actually ask.

Our GA4 setup feels broken. How do you find out?+

We run an implementation audit before we trust any inherited setup. Most audits surface two to four silent measurement bugs — conversions firing on the wrong events, double-counted transactions, missing UTMs, broken server-side tags — that have been distorting decisions for months.

Multi-touch, last-click, data-driven — which attribution model is right?+

The right model reflects the buyer journey and the data you can actually capture. We don't sell one religion. For long B2B cycles we usually land on a position-based or custom model; for fast-cycle ecommerce, data-driven inside GA4 plus a holdout test for incrementality often wins.

Do we need a BigQuery warehouse, or is GA4 enough?+

GA4 is enough until it isn't. The trigger to warehouse is usually one of three: you need to join marketing data with revenue or operational data GA4 doesn't see, you've outgrown GA4's sampling and retention, or executives want reporting that doesn't fall apart when GA4 changes its schema. Then BigQuery becomes the durable layer.

Can you build this at SMB scale, or only enterprise?+

Both. We run BigQuery, Cloud SQL, and Looker Studio pipelines for Circle K across hundreds of car wash locations, and we've built the same disciplined stack for SMB clients at a fraction of the scale. The scale changes; the discipline doesn't.

How do CAC and LTV actually get tracked accurately?+

It's a pipeline problem more than a math problem — you need clean spend data joined to clean conversion data joined to clean cohort revenue, with consistent customer identity across the stack. We build the joins in the warehouse so the numbers trace back to source rows, not to manual exports.

How is a measurement engagement scoped?+

Every engagement is scoped to the current state of your analytics, whether we're auditing, rebuilding, or warehousing, and how much ongoing reporting and dashboard ownership lands on us. Start at /contact and a senior strategist will come back with an honest read.
