Turning data into decisions through business-led analytics design

General Analytics

At AlignAlytics, we help businesses design analytics systems that start with real-world decisions, not abstract data models.

Our approach bridges the gap between business goals and data architecture — from raw collection through to actionable insight.

Our Approach

Analytics Approach Visual

Our approach starts with the business need, defining the insights required to support effective decision making.

From there, we assess data availability, review the technology stack, and design the metrics, KPIs, and data routines to deliver insight.

This process bridges the silos between business and IT — delivering practical, user-friendly solutions that reflect the art of the possible, not the average.

Our Analytics Design Approach

We evaluate data availability across functions and develop what we call an Analytical Asset - a structured, reusable data foundation from which key insights, metrics, and KPIs can be explored to support decision-making at scale.

From raw data to enriched, decision-ready reporting — designed for action.

Analytical Assets

Analytical Assets are more than data structures — they are transformed, enriched, and augmented using tailored AI/ML routines such as forecasting, churn modelling, and segmentation.

Once deployed, they enable faster access, better consistency, and significantly less manual effort, freeing teams to focus on decisions, not manipulation.

Analytics That Works

A practical approach that connects business-led metrics, real-world AI/ML, and operationalised solutions — so analytics drives action, not just insight.

Business-Led Metrics

We define KPIs around decisions — not just dashboards — so insight drives outcomes.

Practical AI/ML

Machine learning is applied where it creates real value — no “black box” hype.

Operationalised Solutions

Integrated into pipelines, tools, and dashboards — not stuck in slides or spreadsheets.

Decision Areas

At AlignAlytics, we use a structured approach to connect data with the decisions that matter.
Our analytics process identifies the business needs, supporting data, key metrics, and analytical methods required to guide decision-making across functions.

We call these “Decision Areas” - mapped insight spaces built from our Analytical Asset design approach, developed in coordination with IBM Performance Manager.
