Version-controlled metric logic

Technical business intelligence practices we build in
What ships by default on every Dcrayon business intelligence engagement
Each practice below maps to a real part of your analytics stack, built and verified by the BI architect on your account.
AI-assisted analytics
Dcrayon AI watches your key metrics for anomalies, flags dashboard drift, and writes plain-English summaries of what moved and why.
Power BI and Tableau cost control
We right-size Power BI Premium capacity and Tableau seats and cut warehouse spend by pruning heavy queries.
You see cost per active dashboard user, not just a licence bill.
Row-level security and governance
Row-level security, certified datasets, and access roles are set from the start, with SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR-aware controls applied to every report.
Three proprietary tools we apply to every Business Intelligence engagement
Score, Sequence, Repair. The analytics maturity diagnostic, the quarter-long roadmap, and the AI-assisted toolkit we run on every business intelligence engagement.
Dcrayon Score (business intelligence axis)
A 150-point read across your data stack. The business intelligence layer scores your warehouse model, your semantic layer, refresh reliability, DAX and measure hygiene, and how many people actually open the dashboards. Free on every proposal call.
Dcrayon Growth Formula (business intelligence sequencing)
The roadmap that sequences your business intelligence work back to one reporting metric you pick, from data model to a dashboard people open every morning.
Dcrayon AI (business intelligence toolkit)
Internal toolkit that audits your dbt models and dashboards, finds broken or duplicated metrics, and writes a prioritized fix list finance can budget.
How Dcrayon runs business intelligence work
Three repeatable practices that make each reporting cycle build on the last.
Step 1: Score
A free Dcrayon Score readout. We rate your reporting setup from 0 to 100, checking whether the numbers reconcile across Power BI, Tableau, and your finance exports, and hand you the list of gaps. No follow-on commitment.
Step 2: Plan
A written 90-day plan built around one operational metric you name, like on-time delivery or gross margin. A senior BI engineer designs the data model and each report. Either side can end the SoW at day 90; no annual lock-in.
Step 3: Compound
A weekly working call plus a monthly summary your finance team can read. The work stacks: a clean data model in the first cycle earns the dashboards people trust in the second, which support the alerts and scheduled reports in the third.
Other Cloud and Data solutions
Sibling Dcrayon services inside the Cloud and Data category. Programs clients often layer alongside Business Intelligence.
Why choose Dcrayon for Business Intelligence
A BI architect who owns your semantic layer
No juniors learning DAX or LookML on your budget. The architect who models your data stays on the account.
A five-axis Score before you commit
A written diagnostic and fixed estimate up front. You see exactly which reports and models we would fix before you sign anything.
AI-assisted analytics as standard
Every engagement includes AI-assisted analytics: anomaly alerts on key metrics, forecast lines on trends, and natural-language querying where your tools support it.
A monthly readout finance can act on
Weekly sessions and a monthly readout tied to one reporting metric. Numbers finance can read without an analyst translating them.

Business Intelligence FAQs
We start with the free Score readout, then scope a plan you approve before any build begins. Once the SoW is signed, we move into data modeling and semantic-layer work.
Both. Some clients use us as their full analytics team; others use us as the BI architect and escalation layer for an in-house data team. We scope per account.
Most business intelligence engagements start at Rs 4 to 8 lakhs per month (India) or USD 6 to 15 thousand per month (global). That covers the data model, the Power BI or Tableau build, and the reporting. Audit-only engagements start lower.
