Who hurts
Executives and team leads with dashboard access and no dashboard habit.
The problem
Dashboards require someone to remember to look, know what normal looks like, and spot the anomaly. Most leaders do none of the three, so the data investment goes unread.
What you build
Detect statistically meaningful changes across the metrics that matter, write them up in a paragraph with context — versus last week, versus seasonality — and deliver it where the person already is: Slack or email.
Why now
Anomaly detection is old and reliable; the missing half was writing it in a way an executive reads. That half got easy.
Validate it this week
Write the Monday paragraph by hand for two teams for a month. If someone forwards it to their boss, you're onto something.
Why you'd keep winning
Knowing what to leave out. Editorial judgement about which changes are worth reporting is harder to copy than the detection.
The honest risk
Every BI vendor is shipping an 'AI insights' panel. Your advantage is being tool-agnostic and arriving in the inbox unprompted.
The prompt is written to make an AI argue with you before it writes code — that first round of pushback is worth more than the scaffold.
