1. Frame the operating question
Clarify the audience, decisions, recurring questions, current reporting burden, source systems, risks, and what a useful first release must prove.
2. Build the data foundation
Organize the source path and reconcile a small accepted KPI set. Definitions include the grain, numerator, denominator, filters, exclusions, owner, freshness, and validation.
3. Shape the analysis in Primus
Prepare the analytical view, reusable lenses, and dashboard-ready context needed to answer the business question reliably.
4. Activate the Decision App
Use Glory to make the material signal, diagnostic path, governed evidence, and accountable next step clear to the leaders who own the cadence.
5. Validate and release
Test freshness, schema, counts, keys, nulls, reconciliations, accessibility, failure paths, rollback, and output consistency before release.
6. Operate and improve
Define who reviews what, when, which thresholds cause action, and how outcomes and corrections become the next improvement cycle.
