DiLoLid Business Analytics Audit

Find not only the metric change, but its cause and the next decision

We start with your data, detect signals and anomalies, decompose changes into drivers, formulate testable hypotheses, and identify the actions with the strongest potential.

When it helps

You already have data, but not one coherent answer to the business question

Business Analytics Audit is an entry product for companies that have accumulated transactional or customer data while analytics remains fragmented, manual or focused mainly on reporting.

E-commerce

Orders, repeat purchases, channels, categories and margin.

Retail & Distribution

Sales, assortment, regions, customers and revenue concentration.

Service Businesses

Repeat visits, utilization, revenue per client and retention.

B2B Sales

Pipeline, customer base, churn risk and revenue concentration.

What we analyze

From data condition to causes, hypotheses and opportunities

The exact analytical scope depends on the business model and data quality. A typical audit covers:

01

Data Quality & Logic

Structure, missing values, duplicates, reference data, periods and alignment with the business process.

02

Key Metrics

KPI dynamics, segments, cohorts, seasonality, inflection points and rate changes.

03

Signals & Anomalies

Unusual changes, rare events, weak signals, risks and potential opportunities.

04

Root-Cause Diagnostics

Decompose changes across customers, products, channels, periods and other drivers.

05

Testable Hypotheses

Formulate possible causes and test whether the data supports them and the effect matters to the business.

06

Decisions & Opportunities

Priorities, action options, experiments and growth opportunities grounded in evidence.

What you receive

Not just a report – a map of the next decisions

The audit produces a concise evidence-based view of what is happening, why it may be happening, what the data actually supports, and what should be tested or changed next.

Assessment of data structure and reliability
Key KPIs, segments, cohorts and trends
Detected anomalies, risks and weak signals
Root-cause decomposition of key changes
3–7 testable business hypotheses
5–10 priority opportunities, problems or control points
Recommended actions, experiments and metrics for follow-up monitoring
Process

Data → Signal → Explanation → Hypothesis → Validation → Decision → Monitoring

The audit is built around the business question. SQL, statistics, time series or models are used only where they produce a better answer.

01

Data

Define the business question, sources and data quality.

02

Signal

Detect changes, deviations, risks and opportunities.

03

Explanation

Locate where the change occurred and the factors associated with it.

04

Hypothesis

Formulate possible causes in a testable form.

05

Validation

Test hypotheses statistically or through backtesting / modeling.

06

Decision

Define priorities, actions and expected business impact.

07

Monitoring

Define how the result should be measured after implementation.

What you need to start

One clean export can be enough for the first step

An initial audit does not require a full BI implementation or systems integration. A relevant-period export is often enough.

DATA

Excel / CSV

Sales, orders, customers, products, payments, interactions or operations.

SYSTEMS

CRM / BAF / ERP

Exports from business systems without permanent access at the first stage.

DATABASE

SQL / structured data

Structured tables or extracts if the company already maintains its own database.

FAQ

About the format

Do we need Power BI or a data warehouse already?

No. The audit can start from Excel/CSV or CRM/BAF exports. A BI solution is only recommended if it is justified by the next stage.

Do you transfer scripts and internal methodology?

The standard product delivers analytical results, findings and agreed deliverables. Source-code transfer is outside the base scope unless separately agreed.

What if the data quality is poor?

That is still a valuable audit result. We identify what prevents reliable analysis and what should be fixed first.

Can we continue after the audit?

Yes. The next stage can include recurring analytics, BI/reporting, customer or profitability intelligence, and data-preparation automation.
