Free dashboard programme · 4 places a year

We'll build your dashboard for free.

Once a quarter, we pick one company and build its dashboard at no cost: live, connected to the data you already have, built around the questions you actually ask, and yours to keep. In return, we ask to tell the story.

Applications open · next pick 30 November 2026 · we reply to every applicant.

A real build, on a fixed scope

The same work we'd quote for, with the edges drawn in advance. You know exactly what you're getting, and we can give it our full attention.

What you get

  • One live dashboard, built around up to five questions your team asks every week
  • Connected to up to three data sources you already have: Excel, Google Sheets, CSV exports or one system
  • Built in a tool you keep, so it runs without us
  • Two rounds of changes, and about four weeks from data access to handover
  • A handover walkthrough, a short written guide, and 60 days' support

What we ask in return

  • A named person on your side who can make decisions, and three short calls: kick-off, review, handover
  • Access to the data in the first week, or the place passes to the next company
  • A case study with real numbers, which you read and approve before it's published
  • A short testimonial and permission to show your logo
  • A 20-minute feedback call at 60 days

For teams still building the report by hand

We pick one company a quarter. The strongest applications tick most of these.

We choose on how much the dashboard will change for you, how ready the data is, and whether there's a before and after we can both put our names to.

About four weeks from data to dashboard

One company a quarter, start to finish.

01

Apply

Tell us the questions you want answered and where the data lives. It takes about five minutes.

02

Shortlist call

A 30-minute call with each shortlisted company to look at the data together. We pick one, and tell every applicant personally.

03

Build

Short rounds, with something for you to check at each one: a kick-off, a review in the middle, and two rounds of changes.

04

Hand over

A walkthrough, a written guide, and 60 days of support while it beds in. Then the case study, approved by you.

Yours to keep, with no strings

Free means free. What happens next is up to you.

It's yours

Built in a tool you keep, with the access and the written guide handed over. If you never speak to us again, it keeps working.

Nothing to buy

No contract to roll onto and no card details taken. When the 60 days' support ends, that's the end of it.

If you want more

An optional monthly care plan keeps the data feeds running and covers small changes. More dashboards, automation and clean-up are quoted up front.

Can't wait for a place?

Or would rather not be a case study? The same build, with the same scope and the same four weeks, is available at a fixed price.

The small print, in plain English

Is it really free?

Yes. There's no fee for the build, no card details, and nothing you're signed up to afterwards. What it costs you is some time: a named person, three short calls, and access to the data in the first week.

What's the catch?

The case study. We're asking to tell the story, with real numbers, because it's the most convincing thing we can show the next company. You read it and approve it before anything is published.

Who owns the dashboard?

You do. We build it in a tool your team can keep using without us, and hand over the access, a written guide and a walkthrough. If you never speak to us again, it keeps working.

What happens to our data?

Before we see any of it, we both sign a confidentiality agreement and data-processing terms. We use your data only to build your dashboard, ask for no more access than that needs, and delete our working copies when support ends.

How is this different from the free data audit?

The data audit is open to anyone, any time: we look at how you work with data and hand back a written report with a roadmap. The programme is four places a year, and at the end of it you have a working dashboard rather than a report. If you're not sure which you need, start with the audit.

What if we're not picked?

We'll tell you personally, with a reason, and ask whether you'd like to stay in for the next quarter. If you asked for one, we'll also send a fixed price for the same build, so you don't have to wait.

Can the case study be anonymous?

We'd much rather name you, because a named case study is worth far more to both of us. If there's a real reason you can't be named, say so when you apply; an anonymous story can still work, but when places are tight we'll favour companies happy to be named.

Apply for a place

About five minutes, no attachments. Tell us what you'd want the dashboard to answer: that matters more than anything else on this form.
