Narrative reporting

Weekly written reports, not dashboards. What moved, what didn't, what's next. A number you can bet a P&L on.

Most reporting is a screenshot of a dashboard with no interpretation, no recommendation, and no accountability. Ours is a written narrative every week: what changed, why, what we're doing about it, and what number to expect next week. Dashboards are the source data, not the output.

INDEX · 02 · HOW WE RUN IT
How we actually run this

Six signatures of the work.

Not a chip cloud. The actual operating posture we bring to a Analytics engagement, in operator-voice. If any of these don't resonate, we're probably not a fit.

01

Closed-loop attribution graph

GA4, GSC, GBP, ad platforms, CRM, and call tracking stitched together. One graph, one source of truth. Strategy connects to tasks, tasks to URLs, URLs to leads, leads to revenue.

02

Orbit dashboards live week one

No setup quarter, no missing baseline. The dashboards are running before the engagement starts producing content, so we can measure delta against a real baseline instead of a guess.

03

Written weekly + monthly + QBR

Weekly status (what moved, what didn't, what's next). Monthly performance summary with narrative interpretation. Quarterly business review with the operator on the line. Three cadences, three audiences.

04

AI-narrated where the data is dense

Mission Control drafts the summary against the dashboard data, then a senior reviews and rewrites. The AI handles the volume, the senior handles the judgment. The narrator persona is consistent month over month.

05

P&L-accountable metrics

We optimize against revenue and pipeline, not against clicks or impressions. The metrics in the report are the metrics in the operating agreement.

06

Banned phrases, codified

The Reporting Narrator persona has a written banned-phrase list. No 'leverage' as a verb. No 'synergy.' No 'holistic approach.' No 'in today's digital landscape.' If a sentence reads like a LinkedIn post, it doesn't ship.

INDEX · 03 · WHERE IT FITS
Where it fits in the operating model

Two tracks. No second sales cycle.

Our four-track operating model is on /services. Analytics maps to Track 01 (Consulting) and Track 04 (Growth Retainer). Strategy connects to delivery without a second contract.

INDEX · 05 · DELIVERABLES
What you actually get

The stack in plain English.

Concrete artifacts, not “deliverables that may include.” If it's on this list, it's scoped into the engagement.

Attribution graph across GA4, GSC, GBP, CRM, calls

One source of truth, stitched.

Orbit dashboards from week one

No setup quarter, no missing baseline.

Weekly written status reports

What moved, what didn't, what's next.

INDEX · THE HONESTY CUT
What we won't do

In Analytics, we'd rather turn it down than fake it.

The shape of what we'll take is also the shape of what we won't. We'd rather lose the deal than ship the wrong work. Most of these have already cost us engagements. We're fine with that.

  • 01

    If everything is fine, the report says so and stays short.

    We don't pad. We don't include vanity metrics. If a metric is in the report, it is in the operating agreement.

  • 02

    We don't ship dashboards as the deliverable.

    Dashboards describe what happened. They don't tell you what to do. The narrative IS the report. The chart is the citation.

  • 03

    Every report includes a 'What We Are Not Doing (Intentional)' section.

    Restraint is the work. If a page is fine, we say so. If a metric is moving the wrong way, we say that too.

Tell us what you're trying to accomplish with Analytics.

One paragraph is enough. Michael reads every inbound and replies within 24 hours on weekdays. If Analytics is the right entry point, we'll be direct about the engagement shape. If it isn't, we'll tell you that too.
