Stop analysing.
Start deciding.

Decision intelligence for early-stage SaaS founders who have the data but struggle to make strategic decisions off the back of it. Not more dashboards. Not more reports. Decision clarity.

Behavioural data analysis + AI-assisted pattern detection

The Problem

Most SaaS founders are data-rich and decision-poor.

You have the metrics. You have the tools. But when a strategic decision lands on the table — where to invest, what to cut, which feature to kill, which channel to scale — the data sits there, inert. The gap is not information. The gap is interpretation, prioritisation, and the confidence to act.


The Framework

From raw data to decisive action.
Four stages. No ambiguity.

A structured methodology that converts behavioural and operational data into ranked, actionable decisions.

01 — Signal Collection

Gather what matters

Behavioural, growth, revenue, and operational data — collected and structured for analysis. We identify which signals are meaningful before touching a single metric.

  • User behaviour and product usage patterns
  • MRR, churn, and growth trajectories
  • Onboarding and activation friction points
  • Feature adoption and retention signals
02 — Signal Interpretation

Find the meaning

Structured frameworks — Pareto analysis, cohort breakdowns, constraint mapping — applied to separate noise from signal. AI-assisted pattern detection surfaces what human review alone would miss.

  • Pareto concentration analysis
  • Cohort behaviour mapping
  • Constraint and bottleneck identification
  • AI pattern detection layer
03 — Opportunity Scoring

Rank the options

A proprietary prioritisation model that scores each opportunity by effort, expected impact, risk profile, and time-to-value. No guesswork. Every recommendation is ranked.

  • Impact vs. effort quantification
  • Risk-adjusted scoring
  • Resource requirement mapping
  • Time-to-value estimation
04 — Decision Roadmap

Act with confidence

Clear, unambiguous next actions. Every item is categorised: scale it, optimise it, experiment with it, or kill it. You leave with a decision, not a suggestion.

  • Scale — proven, double down
  • Optimise — working, improve efficiency
  • Experiment — promising, validate further
  • Kill — underperforming, reallocate

Step 03 — Defined

The Opportunity Score: how we rank decisions.

Every decision is scored 1–10 using four weighted dimensions. The composite score determines priority and the recommended action.

Scoring Dimensions

40%

Impact

How much will this move the needle? Revenue, retention, activation, or growth effect measured against current baselines.

25%

Effort

Dev time, operational complexity, resource cost. Lower effort at equal impact scores higher.

20%

Risk

Downside if this fails. Reversibility, dependency chains, blast radius on existing users or revenue.

15%

Time-to-Value

How quickly will results be measurable? Days score higher than months. Fast feedback loops reduce compounding risk.

Score → Action Mapping

8.0 – 10

Execute Now

High confidence. Proven signal. Scale or kill immediately.

6.0 – 7.9

Optimise

Working but not fully validated. Refine before committing more resources.

4.0 – 5.9

Experiment

Promising signal but unvalidated. Run a controlled test before scaling.

Below 4.0

Deprioritise

Low impact, high effort, or high risk. Reallocate resources elsewhere.

Note: The score measures decision confidence and expected ROI — not the action type. A "Kill" decision can score 9.2 (high confidence that cutting a feature will improve outcomes). The category describes what to do. The score describes how certain you should be doing it.


How AI Fits In

AI accelerates the analysis.
Human judgement makes the decision.

AI is not the product. It is an instrument within the process — used to detect patterns at speed and scale that manual analysis cannot match.

Anomaly Detection

Surfaces unusual patterns in user behaviour, revenue spikes, or operational drift that would take weeks to find manually.

Cohort Segmentation

Groups users and accounts by behavioural similarity to identify which segments drive value — and which drain it.

Scenario Modelling

Runs decision scenarios against historical data to estimate outcomes, risk profiles, and second-order effects.


Decision Tool

SaaS Pricing Decision Matrix

Before optimising pricing, you need to know where you sit. This matrix plots your market penetration against monetisation intensity to determine the right strategic playbook.

Market Penetration (Proxy)
High
Zone 1

Grow First

Keep ARPA low. Focus on acquisition volume. Learn what users value before optimising price.

Zone 2 — Ideal

Optimise / Scale

Traction + monetisation working. Retain and expand. This is where you want to be.

Zone 3

Pivot Needed

Low users, low ARPA. This is a product-market fit problem, not a pricing problem.

Zone 4

Premium / Enterprise

Few customers, high ARPA. Viable if intentional. Requires high-touch sales.

Low
Monetisation Intensity (ARPA Proxy) →
Low ARPA High ARPA

How we use this: During Signal Collection (Step 01), we plot your current position using customer count as a market penetration proxy and ARPA as a monetisation proxy. Your zone determines whether the framework focuses on acquisition, pricing optimisation, PMF fundamentals, or enterprise positioning. The matrix feeds directly into Opportunity Scoring.


Live Case Study

Threadly: The Decision Lab

Threadly is our own SaaS product — and the live proving ground for the AdvancedData framework. Every strategic decision we make on Threadly is documented, measured, and published.

Why this matters

Most consultants advise from theory. We build and operate a real SaaS product, face the same constraints you do, and apply the exact framework we bring to client engagements. Threadly is where the methodology is stress-tested in real SaaS conditions.

Every decision — from feature prioritisation to pricing changes to growth channel allocation — runs through Signal Collection, Interpretation, Opportunity Scoring, and a Decision Roadmap. The outcomes are tracked and shared transparently.

Framework in Action

Signal Detected

Power users concentrated in a single workflow — 80% of engagement from 23% of features.

Interpretation

Pareto distribution confirmed. Non-core features diluting development velocity with negligible retention impact.

Opportunity Score

Consolidate core workflow: High impact, low effort, immediate time-to-value. Score: 9.2/10.

Decision

Kill 4 peripheral features. Scale core workflow. Reallocate 60% of dev capacity.


Live Lab

The Threadly Decision Log

Real strategic decisions made on threadly.live using the AdvancedData framework. Every signal, every score, every outcome — documented publicly.

We killed 4 features and engagement went up

Pareto analysis showed 80% of engagement concentrated in 23% of features. We cut four peripheral features, reallocated dev capacity to the core workflow, and saw activation rates climb within two weeks.

9.2

Opportunity Score

High impact, low effort

One onboarding change drove 34% more activations

Cohort analysis revealed new users who completed a specific action within the first session retained at 3x the rate. We restructured onboarding to guide users to that action first. Activation jumped from 22% to 34% in 30 days.

8.7

Opportunity Score

High impact, medium effort

Testing usage-based pricing against flat tiers

Revenue data showed a bimodal distribution — light users on the Pro plan and power users on the same plan paying the same amount. We ran a controlled experiment with usage-based pricing on a 15% cohort to test willingness to pay at scale.

7.4

Opportunity Score

High impact, high effort

New decision entries are published monthly. Each post documents the full framework process — from signal detection through to measured outcome.

Each engagement applies the full framework. The difference is depth, scope, and ongoing involvement.
