Build the data discipline investors trust and operators depend on.

The 90-Day Data Foundation Sprint

Why It Matters

Early-stage founders don’t fail because they lack vision, they fail because they lack visibility.

Before you can scale, you need clarity on what drives growth, retention, and capital efficiency. The 90-Day Data Foundation Sprint helps startups move from fragmented reporting to a unified, decision-ready system that fuels both fundraising and execution.

The 90-Day Framework

Days 1–30: Foundation & Clarity
Define your growth system.

  • Identify your North Star Metric and supporting KPIs

  • Audit existing tools and data sources (CRM, product, billing, web analytics)

  • Establish your Metrics Dictionary — clear definitions, formulas, and ownership

  • Map data flow from source → dashboard → decision

  • Align leadership on what “success” looks like numerically

Days 31–60: Systems & Visibility
Turn signals into systems.

  • Implement or optimize core dashboards (Google Data Studio, Power BI, or Looker)

  • Automate reporting for weekly and monthly reviews

  • Begin tracking leading indicators for growth and retention (CAC, LTV, conversion, churn)

  • Introduce governance standards — version control, metric cadence, review structure

  • Validate data accuracy and completeness across systems

Days 61–90: Insight & Operating Rhythm
Make your data operational.

  • Deliver a unified Executive Dashboard that tells your company’s growth story

  • Establish a recurring “Metrics Meeting” rhythm with leadership

  • Build investor-ready snapshots, traction visuals, KPI summaries, and growth forecasts

  • Train internal teams to interpret and act on insights

  • Close the sprint with a roadmap for scaling analytics maturity
