Case Studies

In the field.

Two engagements, both live. One running in production; one in active build-out. Real systems, not mockups. Client names withheld out of respect for our partners — the work is real.

Live   Property Management

Property Manager

A multi-property residential operator running a full analytics pipeline for delinquency, occupancy, and renewal intelligence — built and maintained by us, with a daily-refreshed dashboard for the client's team.

Challenge

Delinquency tracking was lived in spreadsheets. Occupancy was reported monthly — long after the window to do anything about it had closed. Renewal risk was a gut feel, not a metric. The operator wanted decision-grade reporting without hiring a data team.

Approach

  • Stood up a dedicated GCP project and BigQuery warehouse.
  • Built a Dataform pipeline: raw → cleaned → dashboard-ready, version-controlled in GitHub.
  • Deployed a Metabase dashboard scoped to the client's collection, with permissioned access.
  • Used AI to draft SQL transforms and dashboard cards at speed — every change reviewed and shipped by a human on our team.

Outcome

  • Daily refresh of delinquency, occupancy, and renewal metrics.
  • Axis scaling tuned so meaningful variance actually shows up — not a flat line at 90%.
  • New reports shipped in hours, not weeks — requests come in plain English, we turn them around.
  • Live on our hosted Metabase instance, permissioned to the client login.
In progress   CPG · Protein Bars

Protein Bar Company

Reporting stack and alert tooling for a protein bar brand — warehouse, transforms, and dashboards, currently in active build-out.

Challenge

Sales, inventory, and channel data scattered across platforms. No unified view of performance. No way to catch anomalies before they show up in a monthly summary — by which point the quarter is half over.

Approach

  • BigQuery warehouse in a dedicated GCP project.
  • Dataform-driven transformations with a strict dashboard layer — no card queries intermediate tables.
  • Metabase collection and permissioning set up for internal stakeholders.
  • AI-surfaced alerts on revenue and conversion anomalies (in design).

Status

Warehouse provisioned, initial ingest schemas defined, dashboard layer scaffolded. Anomaly alerting and client-facing dashboard build scheduled next.
