01 / Service Package

The technical foundation that makes your analytics possible.

Before any analysis can begin, your data needs to be properly connected, cleaned, and structured. This is the behind-the-scenes engineering work that most analysts don't talk about, but without it, no dashboard, no report, and no insight is possible. We handle this entirely. You don't need to touch a single line of code.

Chapter 01, The Foundation

Behind every insight is engineering most analysts never talk about.

Before any analysis can begin, your data needs to be properly connected, cleaned, and structured. We handle this entirely. You don't need to touch a single line of code.

What is a data setup?

When you hire us for any analytics engagement, your business data lives in multiple places, Shopify, Google Analytics, Meta Ads, Google Ads, Klaviyo. These platforms don't talk to each other automatically.

A one-time investment that pays for itself with every analysis and every decision that follows.

STEP 02

Clean

STEP 03

STEP 04

Chapter 05, Engagement Flow

Six steps from hire to insight.

Setup sits in the middle of this flow, completed first, before any analysis or dashboard work begins. It is the foundation that makes everything downstream trustworthy.

01. You hire us for an analytics package

You select Starter, Growth, Advanced, or Monthly Retainer, the engagement type that matches your needs.

02. We assess which platforms you use

Shopify, GA4, Meta Ads, Google Ads, Klaviyo, we map your stack and identify which platforms contain the data we need.

03. We recommend the right setup bundle

Based on engagement type and platform count, we propose Basic, Full Pipeline, or Full Pipeline + Automation.

04. Setup is completed first (2–10 days) Foundational Step

Cloud infrastructure, API connections, pipeline build, cleaning, merge, and (if applicable) automation, all done before analysis begins.

05. Analysis and dashboard work begins

With clean, connected, reliable data in place, we build your dashboards and run your analyses on a foundation you can trust.

06. You receive insights built on clean, connected, reliable data

Every insight, every dashboard, every recommendation, grounded in data you can trust because the foundation beneath it is solid.

Chapter 04, Important Notes

You only pay for what you actually use.

Four principles that govern how we scope, price, and deliver every setup engagement.

01

You only pay for what you actually use.

If your business runs on Shopify and Google Ads only, we connect those two platforms. You are never charged for platforms you don’t use.

02

Platform connections are charged per platform.

The Data Pipeline Build (Item 7) is priced per platform. A client using 3 platforms pays for 3 pipelines. A client using 5 pays for 5. No flat-rate surprises.

03

Automation is only for ongoing clients.

Items 12, 13, and 14, scheduling, alerts, and security, are only relevant if your pipeline needs to run repeatedly over time. One-time analysis clients do not need these.

04

Complexity affects the final price.

The ranges reflect real variability. A store with 500 SKUs and 3 years of historical data requires more work than a store with 50 SKUs and 6 months of data. Final pricing is confirmed after a brief discovery conversation.

The Foundation

Setup is not an add-on. It is the foundation.

Every insight we deliver, every dashboard we build, and every recommendation we make is only as good as the data underneath it. We make sure that foundation is solid, so everything built on top of it can be trusted completely.
