Analyst working with operational data on multiple monitors

Your Dedicated Forward
Deployed Analyst

Every Predien engagement includes a forward deployed analyst; an experienced analyst dedicated to your business.

They learn how your business works, build and maintain the model using your data, review what changes, and help you decide what to do next.

You work with the same person every week, so they build knowledge of your numbers, your business, and the decisions you make.

Bring one business decision. Your analyst starts there.

What Does a Forward Deployed
Analyst Do?

A forward deployed analyst works with your business every week, not just during implementation. The platform handles ongoing monitoring. With this, the analyst handles the work that requires business context, judgment, and explanation.

All of it lands in a standing working session with you every week, where the analyst walks through what was published, and you put the next decision on the table.

ONBOARDING

Your analyst connects your source systems and organizes the data around how your business actually works. They settle differences between systems, define your metrics, and make sure the numbers used by the model match your business definitions.

WEEKLY

The platform can raise 20 to 30 anomalies in a normal week. Your analyst reviews them, removes the noise, and brings you the 5 to 7 insights worth your time, with the business context and next step already considered.

ONGOING

Your business changes. Your model needs to change with it. So, your analyst keeps the scenarios, metrics, and business definitions aligned with how your operation runs today.

PERIODIC

Some numbers need more than a dashboard. Your analyst writes short explanations of what changed, why it changed, and what it could mean for the business. These can support monthly, quarterly, and board-level discussions.

CONTINUOUS

Incoming data is checked before it reaches the views your team relies on. If a source file has a problem, your analyst identifies it before it becomes a problem in your reporting or decision-making.

ON THE PAGE

When a number changes, the context is there with it. Your analyst adds written explanations directly to the relevant metric, so your team does not have to search through emails or ask what happened.

How a Forward Deployed
Analyst Helps

The analyst works alongside your existing team and takes on the ongoing work of compiling, reviewing, and explaining your business data.

The platform monitors your configured metrics around the clock. The analyst starts with what has changed, reviews what matters, and brings the relevant findings to you.

The analyst carries the judgment. The platform carries the volume.

This is also where the forward deployed analyst advantages become clear; you get dedicated analytical expertise without having to build a full analytics team around the platform.

WEEK 1 – BUILDYour analyst builds the model using your data and business definitions.
MONTH 3 – UNDERSTANDThe same analyst works with your numbers every week, building a deeper understanding of your operation.
YEAR 1 – CARRY FORWARDThe same analyst brings your business context, metrics, and decision history into every new analysis.

How the Work Stays Reliable

Two things keep the analysis reliable. First, every insight is reviewed inside Predien before it reaches your feed, so it is not based on one person's judgment alone.

Second, you can check the work yourself. Metrics can be traced back to the source records behind them, so you can see where each number came from and review the analysis against your own knowledge of the business.

You are never asked to take the analysis on trust.

How the Analyst Covers
the Analysis

The platform watches every configured metric around the clock, so the analyst starts with what changed instead of spending time compiling reports.

The analyst uses current AI tools to handle more of the work, while staying focused on the business context and judgment that the platform cannot provide.

The analyst carries the judgment. The platform carries the volume.

Hence, instead of hiring a full analytics team, you have one analyst working alongside your existing team and taking on the compiling, reviewing, and reporting work.
