Data Product Approach

Why Build Data Products

Companies should build data products because they transform raw data into actionable, reusable assets that directly drive business outcomes. Instead of treating data as a byproduct of operations, a data product approach emphasizes usability, governance, and value creation. Ultimately, they turn data from a cost center into a growth engine, unlocking compounding value across every function of the enterprise.

AI Agent for Business Analysis

Analyze reports, dashboard and determine To-do

Our structured‑data analysis agent connects to CSVs, SQL, and APIs; auto‑detects schemas; and standardizes formats. It finds trends, anomalies, correlations, and revenue opportunities using statistics, heuristics, and LLM reasoning. The output is crisp: prioritized insights and an action‑ready To‑Do list for operators and analysts.

Why knobs matter

Knobs are levers using which you manage output

The Drivetrain approach frames product building in four steps; “knobs” are the controllable inputs that move outcomes. Design clear metrics, expose the right levers, and iterate—control leads to compounding impact.
