What is fractional BI?
Your ongoing data team.

Fractional BI is an ongoing business intelligence function, scaled to your needs. We connect your data, define the numbers, and keep the answers coming.

01 / The Disconnect

Your data lives in different worlds.

Your CRM knows the pipeline. Your core operations know the work. Finance knows the margin. But no single system tells the whole story.

The result: manual exports, competing numbers, and decisions that wait.
02 / The Foundation

Bring the pieces into one place.

We build repeatable connections into a shared data foundation. A warehouse layer or read-replica can retain source data; cleaning, validation, and modeling make it useful for reporting.

This illustrates one architecture. Your business may need a warehouse or a simpler connection to existing database tables instead. The design follows your reporting needs.
03 / The Ongoing Function

A BI partner. Not another export.

We turn connected data into agreed KPIs, dependable dashboards, and answers to new questions. Then we maintain the pipelines and evolve reporting as your business changes.

Engineering + reporting + analytics leadership, through a fractional engagement.

Fractional BI, a dashboard project, or an internal hire?

The right engagement depends on how often you need help and who will own the reporting after it is built. Fractional BI provides recurring capacity; a dashboard project focuses on a defined deliverable; an internal role puts day-to-day ownership inside your team.

Option When it can fit Plan for
Dashboard project You have a defined reporting question, known sources, and a clear deliverable. Who maintains connections, updates definitions, and handles new requests after handover.
Fractional BI partner You need ongoing reporting and analytics help at an agreed scope without filling a full-time role. Priorities, available capacity, response expectations, documentation, and review cadence.
Internal BI hire You have sustained work and want dedicated day-to-day ownership within the organization. Recruiting, management, specialist support, and coverage when the role is unavailable.
ILLUSTRATIVE REPORTING EXAMPLE

Why a margin dashboard starts with a definition.

Suppose a monthly report shows ₦100,000,000 in recognized revenue and ₦65,000,000 in agreed direct costs. Gross profit is ₦35,000,000, and gross margin is 35%: gross profit divided by revenue. These are sample figures, not client results.

A chart alone cannot explain whether the two inputs cover the same period, jobs, and cost categories. Before building the dashboard, define what belongs in the measure and how someone can investigate a change.

Agree on the measure

Document which revenue and direct-cost records are included, the reporting period, and how credits or adjustments are handled. Keep gross margin distinct from net profit.

Validate the inputs

Match the relevant jobs or accounts, check missing and duplicate records, and compare totals with the agreed source reports. Flag incomplete data before interpreting the result.

Make the result actionable

Show the trend and the contributing jobs or categories. Include the last refresh time and an owner for questions so a change in margin can lead to a useful investigation.

This is the connection between data integration, KPI design, and decision support: define the question, make the inputs comparable, then present the result with enough context to act.

What shapes a fractional BI engagement?

Start with one important report or decision. The number of systems, data quality, access requirements, refresh frequency, and level of ongoing support determine the work. Your existing database may be enough; a new data lake is not a prerequisite.
