Analysis to action

Ask a better question.
Ship a clearer decision.

Archeus turns business questions into sandboxed queries, confirms anomalies against cohorts, and drafts the decision memo — with the methodology riding along, never cropped out.

In action

See the workspace, not a mock

A real working view — reviewable before anything ships.

Plain English becomes a sandboxed query — confidence, caveats, and the data owner's gate travel with it.

Step 01 — Natural language to query

Ask the question, keep the methodology

Generated query — sandboxed run

Confidence 0.94

“Why did self-serve churn spike at week 6 in the Q2 cohort — and what changed vs Q1?”

-- generated · data-owner validation pending

WITH cohort_ret AS (

  SELECT start_month, week_n, retention_pct

  FROM analytics.retention_weekly

  WHERE segment = 'self_serve'

)

SELECT * FROM cohort_ret WHERE week_n = 6

Data-owner validation requiredrow-level caveats: 3 · joins: 1 · runtime 1.8s

Caveats — stated, not hidden

Q2 self-serve n=412 — small sample

Review

Week-6 retention excludes trial accounts

Clear

Q1 baseline uses a different pricing tier

Review

Confidence and caveats travel with the answer — the executive readout can’t outrun the methodology.

Query volume this month
Prompt

Why did self-serve churn spike at week 6 in the Q2 cohort versus Q1? Query retention_weekly and state your caveats.

How it works

Analysis connected to the decision

A practical, reviewable workflow—not a black box.

STEP 01FRAME

Frame the decision

The business question, the audience, and the threshold for action are pinned before any data is touched — dashboards show what changed; framing decides what matters.

Prompt

“Frame the decision: why did self-serve churn spike at week 6 in Q2, and what would change our Q4 plan?”

Pipeline

  1. Define the decision

    Re-baseline or intervene

  2. Set audience + threshold

    VP Growth · −5pp = act

  3. Name the data owner

    Analytics guild validates

STEP 02QUERY

Query with receipts

Plain English becomes a sandboxed query — confidence, caveats, and the data owner's validation attached for whoever checks the work.

Prompt

“Turn the question into a sandboxed query with confidence and caveats stated.”

Pipeline

  1. Generate SQL

    Confidence 0.94

  2. Attach caveats

    Small-n · tier drift

  3. Run sandboxed

    1.8s · read-only

Verifiable output

SELECT start_month, week_n, retention_pct

FROM analytics.retention_weekly

-- confidence 0.94 · owner review pending

STEP 03DETECT

Detect what mattered

Anomalies are confirmed against cohorts and root causes are ranked by evidence weight — noise explicitly dropped, not summarized.

Prompt

“Confirm the anomaly across cohorts and rank root causes by evidence.”

Pipeline

  1. Compare cohorts

    Self-serve −14pp · sales-led +1pp

  2. Isolate the variable

    Onboarding checklist removal

  3. Weight the causes

    71% · 22% · noise

STEP 04NARRATE

Narrate the finding

Facts, interpretation, and next steps are separated into a decision memo — footnotes carry the assumptions projections make.

Prompt

“Turn the numbers into a decision memo — facts, interpretation, and next steps separated.”

Pipeline

  1. Separate fact vs read

    Two-column memo

  2. Footnote assumptions

    No pricing change assumed

  3. Name the next step

    Hold fix · re-baseline Dec

Verifiable output

Fact: self-serve week-6 retention fell 60% → 46% in Q2.
Read: onboarding checklist removal explains 71% of the churn.
Next: hold the fix, re-baseline the cohort comparison in December.
STEP 05PUBLISH

Publish on cadence

The Monday briefing assembles itself from the week's runs — and ships to Slack or email only through a human approval gate.

Prompt

“Draft Monday's briefing from the week's runs and hold it for human approval.”

Pipeline

  1. Assemble from run IDs

    W42-01 · W42-03

  2. Human approval gate

    Held until signed off

  3. Ship on cadence

    Slack + Email · Mon 8 AM

Verifiable output

Capabilities

Explainable, end to end

Zero-SQL extraction

Analysts and executives ask in plain English — the query, confidence, and caveats stay attached for whoever needs to check the work.

“Why did week-6 churn spike?”Query W42-03
“Q4 ARR at current trend?”Query W42-07
“Which cohorts recovered?”Query W42-09

Every run is sandboxed, read-only, and logged — analysts keep their governed layer.

Methodology stays visible

Caveats ride along with every chart — confidence, sample size, and assumptions never get cropped out of the story.

01

Frame the decision

The business question, the audience, and the threshold for action are pinned before any data is touched.

Dashboards show what changed. Framing decides what matters.

  • Decision named — intervene or re-baseline
  • Threshold set — −5pp triggers action
  • Data owner assigned up front

Detect what mattered

Anomalies are confirmed against cohorts and ranked root causes — the −14pp drop gets isolated, not summarized.

Sales-led is untouched — so the cause narrows to onboarding.

Where it helps

Built around real team moments

Start with the workflow you already repeat — the pipeline maps to it, not the other way around.

Business reviews

A focused readout for the recurring operating meeting — findings with run IDs, not screenshots.

Anomaly investigation

Why the metric moved, isolated against cohorts and baselines — before anyone assigns a conclusion.

Executive briefings

The weekly decision memo, drafted from validated analysis and gated by a human send.

Board material

QBR and board charts with footnoted projections — every assumption stated on the slide.

Why teams switch

Less tool-switching. More useful work.

Without a connected workflowWith Archeus

A dashboard shows what changed, not what to check next.

The task connects a business question, the evidence, and a drafted next step.

Confidence is implied by a polished chart.

Confidence 0.94, small-n flags, and tier-drift caveats ride along with the answer.

The analyst rewrites the same findings for three audiences.

One analysis produces the query, the memo, and the Monday briefing — cited to run IDs.

The weekly update is assembled by hand, late Sunday.

The briefing drafts itself from the week's runs and ships through your sign-off.

Enterprise Standards

Built for auditability, privacy, and full human governance.

Zero Retention for Training

Zero Model Training

Customer prompts, uploaded business records, connected databases, and generated outputs are strictly ephemeral and never used to train base or commercial foundation models.

Sandboxed Execution

Automations, code evaluation, and browser executions occur in isolated, scoped environments with strict egress policies and encrypted secrets management.

Human Approval Gate

Consequential actions—such as customer communications, database writes, or live deployments—require deliberate human confirmation with comprehensive audit logs.
