Everything a growth team does, running every day.

A connector is only the surface. Below is the work itself: what an analyst, a lifecycle manager, a data scientist and an experimentation lead would do between them, running continuously against your own data.

Scope of work

Everything a growth team does, running every day.

A connector is only the surface. Below is the work itself: what an analyst, a lifecycle manager, a data scientist and an experimentation lead would do between them, running continuously against your own data.

Read the estate

Normally a data engineer, once, then never refreshed.

  • Map every customer, account, subscription and plan in the systems you already run.
  • Rebuild the revenue baseline from orders, payments, refunds and credits.
  • Derive behavioural features from event history without a new pipeline.
  • Reconcile the same customer across billing, CRM, product and support identities.
  • Read consent, subscription and channel eligibility state before anything else.
  • Read contact history so past sends count as pressure on the customer.
  • Track catalogue, pricing and plan changes as they happen.
  • Flag data quality breaks that would make a decision unsafe.

Find where revenue is leaking

Normally a quarterly analyst deep dive.

  • Watch ARPU by cohort, plan, market, channel and tenure for drift that clears noise.
  • Detect churn risk building in a segment before it shows in the monthly number.
  • Detect involuntary churn from failed payments, card expiry and retry behaviour.
  • Spot onboarding steps where activation falls off and revenue never starts.
  • Spot pricing and packaging mismatch between what people buy and what they use.
  • Spot product friction that correlates with downgrade and cancellation.
  • Spot channels and campaigns spending into audiences that would have converted anyway.
  • Size every finding in revenue, not in percentage points.

Explain why

Normally a two-week investigation pulled off the roadmap.

  • Run the investigation automatically and return the drivers with their evidence.
  • Separate mix effects from real behaviour change.
  • Rank drivers by how much of the movement each one accounts for.
  • Check whether the same driver is present in comparable segments.
  • Show the counter-evidence, not only the supporting cut.
  • Keep the query trail so an analyst can reproduce every number.

Write hypotheses worth funding

Normally a workshop, limited to the ideas in the room.

  • Write hypotheses continuously across marketing, product, pricing and technical health.
  • Attach the expected revenue effect and the population it applies to.
  • Attach the evidence and the assumption each one depends on.
  • Rank the portfolio by expected value, not by seniority.
  • Drop hypotheses that a past experiment already answered.
  • Keep the full portfolio visible, including what was deliberately not funded.

Decide per customer

Normally segment rules refreshed when someone has time.

  • Choose the next best action for each customer, for each moment.
  • Arbitrate between every action competing for that same customer.
  • Apply frequency caps, fatigue and quiet hours before anything is committed.
  • Respect eligibility, consent, locale and channel preference.
  • Pick the channel, timing and incentive level, not only the message.
  • Cap discount and margin exposure at the level finance agreed.
  • Attach a plain-language reason and an expiry to every decision.
  • Suppress an action rather than send a weak one, and log why.

Execute in the tools you already run

Normally a ticket, then a slot in next month's calendar.

  • Write decisions into the CRM, engagement and warehouse systems already in production.
  • Trigger journeys and campaigns that your lifecycle team owns and can edit.
  • Update audiences, lists and segments without hand-built rules.
  • Route offers, retention plays and save flows to the right surface.
  • Open the work as a draft for approval where a human should sign off.
  • Recompute idempotently so a replay never double-sends.
  • Roll a decision batch back cleanly when something looks wrong.
  • Leave the estate exactly as it was if Markin stops writing.

Prove it caused the revenue

Normally argued about, rarely measured.

  • Hold back a randomised control group on every decision, not one global holdout.
  • Read uplift in revenue per customer against that control.
  • Report retention, ARPU, margin and contact pressure side by side.
  • Detect and discount cannibalisation between competing actions.
  • Stop an experiment early when the evidence is conclusive either way.
  • Refuse to call a result that has not cleared the evidence standard.
  • Publish the readout in the same place for every experiment.

Retire, govern and hand over

Normally nobody's job, so nothing is ever switched off.

  • Retire programmes automatically when they stop beating control.
  • Re-test assumptions that decay, such as price sensitivity and seasonality.
  • Log every read, decision and write with its reason for audit.
  • Keep personal data in your systems and act on it in place.
  • Show the whole decision trail when legal, finance or an auditor asks.
  • Hand the team a portfolio they can read, question and overrule.
