Source filtering

Keep the links worth reading and drop the rest.

Build this with us

FROM POSSIBILITY TO PRACTICE

What it does for your business

For your data and analytics team, “Source filtering” can become a repeatable workflow rather than a separate task handled from scratch each time. AI can organise the relevant information, work through a question and prepare an explanation of the options or findings for your team. It fits into data preparation, analysis and business reporting, using your business information and the standards your team already works to.

The value it could bring

These are the improvements to evaluate against your current process. We agree the scope and test the value with your team.

More trustworthy decisions

Make the path from business data to an explanation easier to inspect, so teams can act with a clearer understanding of the numbers.

Less time assembling the picture

Bring scattered information into a useful explanation so the team can focus on evaluating the result.

Clearer reasons for a decision

Make assumptions, evidence and trade-offs visible rather than leaving them buried in separate records.

EVIDENCE FROM OTHER BUSINESSES

Published ROI evidence

We have not linked a comparable published financial ROI study for this use case yet. That leaves it unranked, rather than assigning an estimated score. A pilot can measure benefits and total implementation and running costs in your business.

How it works in your business

  1. STEP 1

    Bring in the right context

    Select the relevant information from your databases, spreadsheets and analytics workspace. Agree what a good result looks like with your data and analytics team, including the rules, examples and permissions the workflow needs.

  2. STEP 2

    Turn the task into a workflow

    Keep the links worth reading and drop the rest. Apply the agreed criteria, separate evidence from assumptions and make the reasoning available for someone to challenge or refine.

  3. STEP 3

    Put the result to work

    Provide an analysis or recommendation with supporting information, open questions and a clear decision for the owner to make. Analysts verify queries, calculations, definitions and assumptions before a result informs a business decision.

AN EXAMPLE IN PRACTICE

A member of your data and analytics team needs help with “Source filtering”. They supply approved data sources with agreed access, together with the relevant instructions and the result they need. The workflow prepares an initial result with its supporting context, flags missing information and returns it for review. The owner can correct it and use the accepted result in the team's databases, spreadsheets and analytics workspace.

Start with a focused pilot

Choose one workflow, one team and a representative set of real tasks. We establish the current baseline, build the first version and review the results together before expanding it.

What we would start with

Depending on the scope, useful inputs include:

  • Approved data sources with agreed access
  • Metric definitions, schema and business rules
  • Known examples and quality checks

We agree access and integration with your databases, spreadsheets and analytics workspace as part of the design.

How we would measure value

  • Time to a usable, reviewed analysis
  • Accuracy of facts, calculations and supporting references
  • Reconciliation to trusted figures and time to a usable analysis

Analysts verify queries, calculations, definitions and assumptions before a result informs a business decision.
