Three engagements, clearly scoped
The work, in plain terms.
Each solution is designed to address a specific, common problem in business analytics. Fixed price, written output, defined end.
Back to HomeHow we approach the work
Structured, written, bounded
Each Lanternpath engagement starts with a short written scope document — agreed before any work begins — that describes what is included, what the deliverable will be, and when the engagement ends. This applies to all three offerings, including the monthly retainer.
During delivery, we work with the information the client provides and the people they indicate are relevant. We do not expand scope without explicit agreement. We do not bring in additional staff without telling the client. At the close of each engagement, we produce a written document that the client takes away and can act on without further involvement from us.

Every engagement produces a documented finding
Reporting Stack Review
A three-week structured review of an organisation's existing reporting stack. We examine which dashboards exist, who uses them, how often, and where reports overlap or contradict each other. The output is a written summary with a one-page picture of the current state and a short list of options for tightening the set of reports the leadership team relies on.
What you receive
- Full inventory of existing dashboards and recurring reports
- Documented current state — who uses what and how often
- Identification of overlaps and conflicting outputs
- Written summary document with one-page current-state diagram
- Short list of practical options to simplify the stack
How the three weeks run
Week 1 — Inventory
We gather a complete list of dashboards, recurring reports, and data outputs. We record where each lives, who receives it, and at what cadence.
Week 2 — Interviews
Structured conversations with a small number of report producers and consumers to understand actual usage versus stated purpose.
Week 3 — Written summary
We draft and deliver the written current-state summary and options document. One revision cycle is included.
Workshop structure
Morning — What are we trying to measure?
We review the current list of metrics, discuss what decisions they are meant to support, and identify candidates for the core set.
Afternoon — Definition and agreement
Each selected KPI is written down in a single sentence with its definition, data source, and review cadence. The team reviews and signs off.
Post-workshop document
Within two working days, we deliver a formatted written record of all agreed KPI definitions for the team to distribute internally.
KPI Definition Workshop
A one-day facilitated session for a leadership team of up to ten people. The workshop works through the small set of measures the team wants to use as its main KPIs. By the end of the day, each KPI is written down as a single sentence with a clear definition, a data source, and a chosen cadence for review.
What you receive
- Facilitated one-day working session (in-person or remote)
- Agreed set of core KPIs for the leadership team
- Written definition for each KPI — single sentence, unambiguous
- Data source and review cadence documented per KPI
- Post-workshop formatted reference document
Analytics Sounding-Board Retainer
A monthly arrangement for analytics leads and operations directors who want a steady outside view on the data they are presenting upward. Includes two scheduled calls per month, written notes after each call, and discreet review of dashboards or written reports the client chooses to share between calls.
What is included each month
- Two scheduled calls (up to 50 minutes each)
- Written notes delivered within two working days of each call
- Review of dashboards or reports shared between calls
- Month-to-month arrangement, 30-day notice to end
- Mutual confidentiality agreement as standard
Who this arrangement suits
- Analytics leads preparing monthly or quarterly data for executive review who want a candid external reader before it goes up
- Operations directors who have recently taken on responsibility for internal reporting and want periodic structured thinking time
- CFOs or heads of finance in mid-sized Singapore businesses who produce data-heavy board reports without a dedicated analytics team
Choosing the right engagement
Which engagement fits your situation?
| Your situation | Reporting Stack Review | KPI Workshop | Sounding-Board |
|---|---|---|---|
| Our dashboards have grown without review and I'm not sure which ones leadership actually use | |||
| We can't agree on what our KPIs actually mean — different people use different numbers | |||
| I present data to the board monthly and want a regular outside view before it goes up | |||
| We need to tidy reporting and then keep someone available for ongoing questions |
Not sure? A short call is usually enough to identify the right starting point — or to confirm there isn't one.
