How to Analyze Data for Your Business in 5 Steps (And Why the Traditional Method Takes 4 Hours)

Business data analysis is the process of examining raw information from your operations to discover patterns, answer questions, and make better decisions. But here's what nobody tells you: following the standard five-step framework—define objectives, collect data, clean data, analyze, and visualize—typically consumes 4+ hours of work and still only tells you what happened, not why.

I've watched hundreds of operations leaders struggle with this exact problem. You know you need to analyze business data. You've read the guides. You've followed the steps. Yet somehow, you're still waiting days for answers that should take minutes.

Let me show you why—and more importantly, how modern approaches are changing everything.

What Is Business Data Analysis? (And Why It's Critical for Operations)

Business data analysis transforms raw operational information into actionable insights that drive decisions. It helps you understand performance patterns, identify bottlenecks, predict outcomes, and optimize processes across your organization.

For operations leaders, this isn't academic. You're managing complex systems where a single inefficiency can cascade into massive problems. Supply chain delays. Workforce allocation gaps. Process bottlenecks that nobody can explain.

The operations leaders who succeed aren't the ones with the most data. They're the ones who can answer critical questions faster than their competitors.

When your CEO asks "Why did fulfillment costs spike 23% last quarter?" you need an answer backed by evidence. Not guesses. Not gut feelings. Real analysis.

‍

Why Learning How to Analyze Business Data Matters More Than Ever

Here's a question that keeps operations leaders up at night: How much money am I losing to problems I don't even know exist?

The answer is usually staggering.

We've seen companies discover:

• $430K in lost revenue from a mobile checkout bug nobody noticed
• 18% of inventory sitting in the wrong warehouses for 90+ days
• Three high-performing processes that, when examined, were actually creating downstream bottlenecks
• Customer segments with 340% higher lifetime value that marketing was completely ignoring

These insights don't come from having more data. They come from knowing how to analyze data for your business in 5 steps—and then recognizing where traditional analysis falls short.

Because here's the uncomfortable truth: most operations leaders are making decisions based on incomplete analysis. Not because they're doing it wrong, but because the traditional methodology has fundamental limitations.

The Traditional 5-Step Framework for Data Analysis

Let me walk you through the standard approach. I'm not dismissing it—this framework has been teaching people how to analyze business data for decades. But I want you to see where your time actually goes.

Step 1: Define Your Business Objectives and Questions

What you're supposed to do: Identify exactly what you want to learn before touching any data.

What actually happens: You spend 30-45 minutes in meetings debating what to ask.

Your CFO wants to know about cost drivers. Your VP of Customer Success wants churn analysis. Your head of fulfillment needs throughput metrics. Everyone has a different priority.

Eventually you settle on something like: "Why did our fulfillment costs increase last quarter?"

This seems clear. It's not.

Did costs increase because:

• Volume went up?
• Per-unit costs changed?
• Product mix shifted?
• Seasonal workers cost more?
• Returns spiked?
• Expedited shipping increased?
• Warehouse efficiency declined?

Each of these requires different data and different analysis. But in the traditional framework, you pick one hypothesis and test it. Then if that's wrong, you start over with hypothesis #2.

Time investment: 30-45 minutes just to frame the question.

Step 2: Collect Relevant Data from Multiple Sources

What you're supposed to do: Gather all the data you'll need for analysis.

What actually happens: 60-90 minutes of digital archaeology.

Your fulfillment costs live in your ERP. But to understand them, you need:

• Order volume from your e-commerce platform
• Product data from your inventory system
• Labor costs from your HR system
• Shipping rates from carrier APIs
• Return data from customer service
• Historical comparison data from last quarter

Each system has its own export process. Some require admin access. Others need IT tickets. One system doesn't export to CSV at all—you're literally copying and pasting into Excel.

You finally have six files. They don't match. Order ID formats are different across systems. Date formats vary. One file uses customer names, another uses customer IDs, and they don't map cleanly.

Time investment: 60-90 minutes, and that's if you have access to everything.

Step 3: Clean and Prepare Your Data

What you're supposed to do: Standardize formats, handle missing values, remove duplicates.

What actually happens: Data janitor work that tests your patience.

This is where most guides give you a nice bulleted list:

• Remove duplicates ✓
• Handle null values ✓
• Standardize formats ✓
• Check for outliers ✓

Clean! Professional! Simple!

Except it's not.

You discover:

• 142 orders with $0.00 fulfillment cost (are these errors or free shipping promotions?)
• One warehouse using "cancelled" and another using "canceled"
• Dates in MM/DD/YYYY and DD/MM/YYYY mixed together
• An outlier order with $47,000 in fulfillment costs (error or bulk industrial shipment?)
• 89 SKUs that exist in inventory but not in the product database
• Three orders assigned to "Warehouse 5" which doesn't exist

Each anomaly requires investigation. Some need conversations with other departments. Others need judgment calls about what to exclude.

Time investment: 45-75 minutes for a moderately messy dataset. Hours if it's really bad.

Step 4: Analyze the Data

What you're supposed to do: Apply analytical techniques to find patterns and insights.

What actually happens: You test one hypothesis at a time, and if it's wrong, you start over.

You create pivot tables. Calculate averages. Build comparisons. You're looking for what changed.

Your analysis reveals: fulfillment costs per order increased by $2.37.

Great! But why?

You drill down by warehouse. The increase is concentrated in the Northeast region.

Good! But why?

You segment by product category. It's mostly in electronics.

Helpful! But why?

You examine by time period. It spiked in week 3 of the quarter.

You're getting closer. But each "why" requires rebuilding your analysis. New pivot tables. Different segmentations. More calculations.

This is the fundamental limitation of traditional analysis: you test one hypothesis at a time.

If your first guess is wrong, you've spent 30 minutes going down a dead end. In complex operational problems, you might have 8-12 potential causes. Testing them sequentially can take all day.

Time investment: 60-120 minutes, often longer if your initial hypothesis is wrong.

Step 5: Visualize and Interpret Results

What you're supposed to do: Create charts that make insights obvious.

What actually happens: You build PowerPoint slides while questioning if you found the real answer.

You've discovered that electronics fulfillment costs spiked in week 3. You create:

• A line chart showing cost trends
• A bar chart comparing product categories
• A table with regional breakdowns

Your deck looks professional. Your charts are clear.

But you still don't know why electronics costs spiked. Did a carrier change rates? Did product size distributions shift? Was there a warehouse staffing issue? Did return rates increase?

You've answered "what happened." You haven't answered "why it happened" or "what to do about it."

Time investment: 30-45 minutes to create presentation-ready visuals.

Total time: 4-5 hours minimum, often longer.

Result: You know what changed, but not why.

The Hidden Problem with Traditional Data Analysis

Let me ask you something: when your fulfillment costs spike, do you really think there's only one cause?

Of course not.

In complex operations, problems have multiple contributing factors. The traditional five-step framework forces you to test them one at a time. It's not wrong—it's just painfully slow and incomplete.

Here's what that looks like in practice:

Traditional Approach - Testing Hypotheses Sequentially:

1. Test hypothesis 1: Volume increase → Not the cause (30 min wasted)
2. Test hypothesis 2: Rate changes → Not the cause (30 min wasted)
3. Test hypothesis 3: Product mix shift → Partial cause, but doesn't explain everything (45 min)
4. Test hypothesis 4: Returns spike → Yes! But only in one category (30 min)
5. Test hypothesis 5: Staffing issue → Yes! Overlap with returns (30 min)

You've found the answer, but it took 2.5 hours of sequential testing. And you only found it because you were persistent enough to test 5 hypotheses.

What if the real cause was hypothesis #8? Would you have the time and patience to get there?

How Modern Investigation Tools Transform the 5-Step Process

This is where the evolution happens. What if instead of testing hypotheses sequentially, you could test them simultaneously?

Investigation Approach - Multi-Hypothesis Testing:

You ask: "Why did fulfillment costs spike?"

The system automatically:

1. Segments by warehouse (8 locations analyzed in parallel)
2. Compares product categories (12 categories)
3. Examines time patterns (daily trends identified)
4. Analyzes volume impacts (3 volume tiers)
5. Checks staffing correlations (coverage ratios)
6. Reviews carrier rate changes (all carriers)
7. Investigates return patterns (reason codes)
8. Correlates weather events (regional shipping delays)

All of this happens in 45 seconds.

The output: "Fulfillment costs increased 23% due to three compounding factors: (1) Northeast warehouse had 18% staff shortage in week 3 due to flu outbreak, (2) this coincided with higher-than-normal returns of electronics (defective charging cables from Supplier X), (3) substitute warehouse routing increased average shipping distance by 340 miles per order. Combined impact: $2.37/order increase. Fixing supplier quality issue and optimizing substitute routing logic will prevent recurrence."

Notice the difference?

Traditional analysis tells you what changed. Investigation tells you why it changed, which factors compounded, and what to do about it.

This isn't magic. It's a fundamentally different approach to how you analyze business data.

How Investigation Tools Automate the 5 Steps

Let me break down what's actually happening behind the scenes. I'll use Scoop Analytics as the example, since it's built specifically around this investigation paradigm.

Step 1 (Define Objectives) - Automated Context Understanding

Instead of spending 45 minutes in meetings, you ask natural language questions: "Why did fulfillment costs spike?"

Scoop's AI understands:

• You're asking about cost drivers (not volume or revenue)
• This is a diagnostic question (looking for causes)
• It needs to examine multiple dimensions
• Historical context matters (what's "normal"?)

The system interprets business intent without requiring you to specify every parameter upfront.

Step 2 (Collect Data) - Automated Data Integration

Rather than manually exporting from 6 systems, Scoop connects directly to your operational sources—ERP, CRM, inventory management, shipping systems. When you need information, it's immediately available. No exports. No access requests. No waiting.

But here's what makes this different from traditional BI: it doesn't just connect to your data. It understands it.

Step 3 (Clean Data) - Automatic Preparation

This is Scoop's "Layer 1" of its three-layer AI architecture—work that happens invisibly before you even see results.

The system automatically handles:

• Null value imputation based on context
• Format standardization (dates, currencies, product IDs)
• Outlier detection with business logic (is $47K an error or legitimate?)
• Duplicate resolution
• Schema evolution (when new fields are added to your systems)

You know those 89 SKUs that exist in inventory but not in your product database? Scoop flags them, categorizes the issue, and still includes them in analysis with appropriate caveats.

This happens in seconds, not hours. Not because the system is fast, but because it's designed to handle messy operational data from day one.

Step 4 (Analyze) - Multi-Hypothesis Investigation

This is the paradigm shift. This is where Scoop's "Layer 2" comes in—running real machine learning models.

Instead of testing one hypothesis, the system tests 8-12 simultaneously:

Traditional BI: Test hypothesis → Wrong → Next hypothesis → Wrong → Next...

Scoop Investigation: Test all hypotheses → Rank by impact → Identify interactions → Explain results

‍

Behind the scenes, it's using J48 decision trees (which can be 800+ nodes deep), JRip rule learning, and EM clustering algorithms. These are the same algorithms data scientists use, but you're not writing any code or selecting algorithms.

Why? Because Scoop's "Layer 3" translates complex ML output into business language.

You don't see: "Decision tree classification with 847 nodes, gini impurity 0.23, confidence interval 0.87-0.91"

You see: "The #1 driver is Northeast warehouse staffing shortage, which accounts for 43% of the cost increase. The #2 driver is defective cable returns (31%). These two factors interact—staffing shortage forced use of alternate warehouses, increasing shipping distance for returns. 89% confidence this is the primary cause."

That's three layers working together:

1. Automatic data prep
2. PhD-level machine learning
3. Business language explanation

Step 5 (Visualize) - Automatic Presentation Generation

Results are presented with:

• Clear explanations in plain English
• Supporting visualizations
• Confidence levels
• Recommended actions
• One-click export to PowerPoint or Google Slides with your branding

You can dig into the decision tree if you want to see the model's logic. Most operations leaders don't need to. They just need the answer.

Total time: 45 seconds to 2 minutes.

Result: You know what happened, why it happened, which factors matter most, and what to do about it.

Real-World Example: Finding a $430K Revenue Leak

Let me show you how this plays out with a real scenario one of Scoop's customers encountered (details changed for confidentiality, but the pattern and timeline are accurate).

The Question: "Why did our e-commerce revenue drop 15% last month?"

Traditional 5-Step Approach

Hour 1: Frame the question, export data from Shopify, Google Analytics, and payment processor.

Hour 2: Clean data, standardize formats, remove test orders, handle international currency conversions.

Hour 3: Create analysis showing revenue down across all product categories but concentrated in mobile transactions.

Hour 4: Drill into mobile specifically. Build new segmentation. Calculate conversion rates by device type.

Finding: Mobile conversion rate dropped from 2.4% to 1.6%.

Problem: You still don't know why. Is it a marketing issue? User experience problem? Payment friction? Technical bug?

To find out, you need to start the process again with a different hypothesis. Another 4 hours.

Scoop's Investigation Approach

Input: "Why did revenue drop 15% last month?"

System Process (45 seconds):

• Segments by traffic source (organic, paid, email, social)
• Analyzes by device type (mobile, tablet, desktop)
• Examines conversion funnel (homepage → product → cart → checkout)
• Reviews payment methods (credit card, PayPal, Apple Pay)
• Checks error logs (checkout failures, payment declines)
• Correlates with site changes (deployments, A/B tests)
• Compares to seasonal patterns (is this unusual?)
• Tests product mix effects (pricing changes)

All of these hypotheses tested simultaneously.

Output:

"Revenue declined 15% ($430K) due to mobile checkout failures. Root cause: payment gateway integration error introduced in deployment v2.4.3 on July 12th. Mobile users clicking 'Complete Purchase' receive intermittent errors (34% failure rate vs. historical 2%). Desktop unaffected due to different checkout flow. Errors concentrated in Safari browsers (iOS). Rolling back to v2.4.2 will immediately restore functionality. Estimated recovery: $387K of the $430K is recoverable through abandoned cart emails if fix is deployed within 48 hours."

Time: 45 seconds.

Difference: The investigation didn't just find what changed—it found why, identified the specific technical cause, quantified the impact, and provided a recovery strategy with urgency.

The operations director who asked this question told us: "We would have eventually found the gateway error, but it would have taken us at least another day. By then, we'd have lost another $60K in revenue. The 48-hour abandoned cart window made the time difference critical."

The Technical Advantage: Schema Evolution

There's another difference that matters enormously but doesn't make for exciting headlines: schema evolution.

Let me explain why this is a big deal.

Your CRM just added a new field: "Lead Source Detail" that breaks down where leads originated. Marketing wants to analyze how this affects conversion rates.

Traditional BI response: "We need to rebuild our semantic model. IT will add it to the sprint. Estimated completion: 2-3 weeks."

Scoop's response: The field is immediately available for analysis. No rebuild. No semantic model updates. No IT tickets.

Why? Because Scoop doesn't rely on rigid pre-built data models. It understands your data structure dynamically and adapts when it changes.

This is what we mean by schema evolution—your data structure evolves constantly, and your analytics should keep up automatically.

According to Scoop's competitive research, this is a 100% failure point for traditional BI tools. Every major platform—Tableau, Power BI, Looker, ThoughtSpot—requires manual schema updates when your data structure changes.

For operations leaders, this means:

• No 2-3 week delays when fields are added
• No IT dependency for new data sources
• No broken dashboards when systems update
• No "we can't analyze that yet" conversations

You just ask questions. The system figures out how to answer them.

What Business Operations Leaders Need to Know

If you're leading operations, you're probably thinking: "This sounds great, but what's the catch?"

Fair question. Let me address what you actually need to consider.

When Traditional Analysis Still Works

Sometimes you just need a simple report. "What were our top 10 customers by revenue last quarter?" That's a straightforward query. Use a traditional BI tool. It's perfect for that.

Traditional analysis excels at:

• Routine reporting (monthly dashboards)
• Simple aggregations (totals, averages)
• Historical tracking (trend lines)
• Compliance reporting (audit trails)

When You Need Investigation

You need investigation capabilities when:

• You're asking "why" questions
• The problem is complex (multiple potential causes)
• Time is critical (you need answers in minutes, not days)
• You're making high-stakes decisions
• Traditional analysis keeps coming up empty

Questions like these require investigation:

• "Why are certain customers churning?"
• "What's driving the variance in production efficiency?"
• "Why did this process suddenly slow down?"
• "What factors predict successful outcomes?"

The Cost Equation

Here's something that surprises most operations leaders: investigation-grade analytics isn't more expensive than traditional BI. It's dramatically less expensive.

A typical mid-sized company pays:

• Tableau/Power BI: $54,000-$165,000 annually (200 users)
• ThoughtSpot: $300,000 annually
• Snowflake + Cortex: $1.6M annually
• Scoop Analytics: $3,588 annually

That's not a typo. Scoop costs 40-50× less than traditional enterprise BI.

Why? Because it eliminates the complexity tax:

• No semantic models to maintain (saves 2 FTEs)
• No per-query charges (explore freely)
• No 6-month implementations (start immediately)
• No SQL training required (business users self-serve)

The cost difference isn't just pricing strategy. It reflects a fundamental architectural difference.

The Questions to Ask Your Data Team

If you have a data team, ask them:

1. "How long does it take to answer a 'why' question?"
2. "How many hypotheses can we test simultaneously?"
3. "What happens when we add a new data field to our CRM?"
4. "Can we trace our analysis back to the source data?"

The third question is particularly revealing. If the answer involves phrases like "rebuild the model," "update the schema," or "IT ticket," you're working with traditional BI.

If the answer is "it's immediately available," you're working with investigation-grade tools.

What About Slack?

One more thing worth mentioning: where analysis happens matters.

Most operations leaders don't sit in BI dashboards all day. You're in meetings. Email. Slack. You need answers when questions come up, not when you can carve out 30 minutes to log into a separate analytics portal.

Scoop works natively in Slack. Ask questions right in your channels. Get answers in context. Share insights without switching tools.

Example:

You in #operations: @Scoop why did warehouse efficiency drop?

Scoop: [45 seconds later] Efficiency declined 12% due to...

‍

This isn't just convenient. It changes adoption patterns. When analytics tools require context switching, people stop using them. When analytics happen where work happens, they become part of every decision.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long should it take to analyze business data?

For simple queries (what, who, when): Seconds to minutes. These are straightforward aggregations that any modern BI tool handles well.

For diagnostic questions (why): With traditional methods, 4-6 hours. With investigation tools like Scoop, 45 seconds to 2 minutes. The difference is multi-hypothesis testing vs. sequential hypothesis testing.

What's the difference between data analysis and data investigation?

Analysis answers "what happened" by examining data through a single lens. You define a question, run queries, and create visualizations. One hypothesis at a time.

Investigation answers "why it happened" by testing multiple hypotheses simultaneously, identifying interactions between factors, and explaining root causes with confidence levels. It's the evolution of analysis for complex operational questions.

Scoop was built specifically for investigation. Traditional BI tools (Tableau, Power BI, Looker) were built for analysis. That's why they approach problems differently.

Do I need a data scientist to analyze business data?

Traditional approach: Often yes, especially for anything beyond basic reporting. SQL knowledge required, statistical understanding helpful, machine learning expertise needed for predictive work.

Investigation approach: No. Tools like Scoop are designed for business users. You ask questions in natural language ("Why did churn increase?") and get answers in business language ("Churn increased due to three factors..."). The machine learning happens behind the scenes.

That said, data scientists are valuable for custom modeling, algorithm selection, and specialized research. But routine operational questions shouldn't require their expertise.

What tools do I need to effectively analyze business data?

At minimum:

• Data connectivity to your operational systems (ERP, CRM, inventory management)
• A way to ask questions (whether SQL, drag-and-drop, or natural language)
• Visualization capabilities for presenting findings

For investigation-grade analysis, you also need:

• Multi-hypothesis testing (not just queries)
• Automatic data preparation (schema evolution, quality handling)
• Explanation capabilities (ML results in business language)
• Confidence scoring (know when to trust the analysis)

Traditional BI tools provide the basics. Investigation platforms like Scoop provide all of the above.

How do I handle data quality issues when analyzing business data?

Traditional approach: Manual data cleaning, establishing rules for handling nulls and outliers, documenting exceptions. This is the 45-75 minutes in Step 3 of the traditional framework.

Investigation approach: Tools that understand operational data automatically. Scoop's Layer 1 architecture handles:

• Missing value detection and intelligent imputation
• Format standardization across sources
• Outlier identification with business context
• Duplicate resolution
• Schema adaptation

The key is prevention. Data quality should be part of your capture process, not something you fix during analysis. But when issues exist (they always do), automatic handling saves hours.

Can I analyze data from multiple business systems simultaneously?

Yes, and you should. The most valuable insights come from connecting information across systems.

Example: Understanding customer churn requires:

• Transaction data (purchase history)
• Support data (ticket volume, satisfaction)
• Usage data (login frequency, feature adoption)
• Marketing data (campaign engagement)

Analyzing these in isolation misses the compounding factors. A customer with declining usage, recent support frustration, and no email engagement is at high churn risk. You'd never see that pattern looking at one system.

Scoop connects to 100+ data sources and analyzes across them simultaneously. It's not just pulling data together—it's finding patterns that span systems.

What about Excel? Can I use spreadsheet skills to analyze business data?

Here's something interesting: you already know the interface for sophisticated data analysis.

Excel formulas like VLOOKUP, SUMIFS, and pivot tables are intuitive to millions of business users. The problem isn't the concepts—it's the scale. Excel breaks at 1 million rows. Your operational data has 10 million.

Scoop includes a full spreadsheet calculation engine that processes 150+ Excel functions at enterprise scale. Use VLOOKUP across datasets with millions of rows. Create SUMIFS calculations that run in seconds instead of crashing.

You're not learning a new paradigm. You're using skills you already have on data at the scale you actually need.

Getting Started: How to Improve How You Analyze Business Data

Here's what I recommend:

1. Audit Your Current Process

Time yourself on the next analysis project. Track:

• How long does data collection take?
• How much time spent cleaning?
• How many hypotheses do you test?
• What questions remain unanswered?

This baseline shows where you're losing time.

2. Identify Your Most Common "Why" Questions

Operations leaders face recurring questions:

• Why did costs increase?
• Why is efficiency declining?
• Why are some warehouses outperforming others?
• Why are certain products returning more frequently?

Make a list. These are candidates for investigation tools.

3. Calculate the Cost of Slow Analysis

If answering a critical question takes 4 hours, and you answer 3 such questions per week, that's:

• 12 hours/week = 48 hours/month
• 576 hours/year
• At $150/hour fully loaded cost = $86,400 annually

And that's just time. What about the cost of wrong decisions made while waiting for analysis? Or opportunities missed because you didn't ask the right questions?

One operations director told us: "We realized we were spending $120K in analyst time annually just answering recurring 'why' questions. Scoop costs $3,588/year and answers them in 45 seconds. The ROI calculation was embarrassingly obvious."

4. Look for Investigation Capabilities

When evaluating tools, ask vendors:

• "Show me how you answer a 'why' question"
• "How many hypotheses can you test at once?"
• "What happens when my data structure changes?"
• "How do you explain ML results to business users?"

If they talk about dashboards and visualizations, they're selling traditional analysis.

If they talk about multi-hypothesis testing and root cause discovery, they understand investigation.

You can see Scoop's investigation engine in action with a demo that shows the actual 45-second process from question to insight.

5. Start with One High-Impact Question

Don't try to revolutionize everything at once. Pick one expensive problem:

• Churn analysis
• Cost variance investigation
• Process efficiency diagnosis
• Quality issue root causes

Solve it with an investigation approach. Measure the difference in time and insight quality.

Then expand.

Many Scoop customers start by connecting one data source and asking one recurring question they're tired of answering manually. Within a week, they've expanded to multiple sources because they keep thinking of new questions they couldn't answer before.

Conclusion

The traditional five-step framework for how to analyze business data isn't wrong. It's just incomplete for the complex operational questions you face every day.

When you need to understand "what happened," traditional analysis works fine. Build a dashboard. Create reports. Track your KPIs.

But when you need to understand "why it happened"—which is most of the time—you need investigation capabilities.

The difference:

• 4 hours vs. 45 seconds
• One hypothesis vs. eight tested simultaneously
• "Revenue dropped" vs. "Revenue dropped because of X, Y, and Z factors, here's what to do"
• $165K/year vs. $3,588/year (for 200 users)

Operations leaders who adopt investigation tools don't just work faster. They make better decisions because they understand root causes, not just symptoms.

The next time someone asks you a "why" question about your operations, ask yourself: Do I have time to spend 4 hours finding an incomplete answer? Or do I need the complete picture in 45 seconds?

That's the real choice when you decide how to analyze data for your business.

The methodology hasn't just improved. It's evolved.

And tools like Scoop Analytics have made that evolution accessible to every operations leader, not just the ones with massive budgets and data science teams.

The five steps still matter. You still need clear objectives, good data, proper preparation, rigorous analysis, and clear visualization.

The difference is who's doing steps 2, 3, and 4—and how long it takes.

You focus on the questions and decisions. Let investigation tools handle the heavy lifting.

That's how modern operations leaders analyze business data. Not harder. Smarte
