Buyer questions this page answers
When should a company use Business Intelligence?
Business Intelligence is useful when leadership needs to make a decision about how data, metrics and reporting should support executive decisions and the existing evidence is fragmented, biased toward internal assumptions or too shallow for investment, sourcing or market planning.
How does Stratova keep the work decision-focused?
Every engagement starts with the decision, the deadline, the decision owner and the consequence of being wrong. The research plan is then built around evidence that can change or strengthen that decision.
What does the final output look like?
Outputs typically include an executive report, source notes, confidence scoring, findings, assumptions, risks, recommended actions and a review session with the research lead.
