Evidence-backed analysis and reporting workspace

USP

Transparent measurement definitions and traceable coverage evidence.

The product

Key screens: Campaign overview, coverage evidence, client narrative. Open with a compact overview and filters for the relevant period or segment. Let users drill from each theme or metric into underlying records. Keep source definitions and missing-data notes near the result. Use an action panel to assign investigations and record what was learned. In this product, the first view is campaign overview, followed by coverage evidence and client narrative.

Core functionality

1. Deduplicate coverage.
2. Classify publication types.
3. Reconcile agreed metrics.
4. Distinguish reach estimates.
5. Draft commentary.
6. Export branded reports.

Customer workflow

Agree definitions, import authorized data, validate coverage and identifiers, compute transparent measures, group relevant evidence, review findings, assign investigations or improvements, and repeat on a comparable period. Start with verified coverage records and agreed campaign measures and finish with reviewed PR campaign report.

AI and human review

Classify text, summarize evidence and propose explanations to investigate. Compute financial or operational measures with deterministic code. Separate observed patterns from causal claims and preserve examples that contradict the summary.

Accounts and administration

Dataset permissions, field mappings, metric definitions, source drill-down, saved filters, reviewer annotations, recurring reports and action ownership.

MVP scope

Begin with boutique PR agencies producing client reports and one recurring use case. Build the first two modules: deduplicate coverage; classify publication types. Provide operator assistance for the third module: reconcile agreed metrics. Deliver reviewed PR campaign report through a manual review queue. Perform other necessary full-scope functions manually during the pilot. Include all applicable access, accuracy and professional-review controls from the start.

After the MVP is validated

After paid pilots establish value, automate the remaining modules: distinguish reach estimates; draft commentary; export branded reports. Add one validated source integration, reusable customer configuration and recurring delivery. Expand to additional teams, document formats or languages only after testing the new scope.

Build dependencies

Stable identifiers, consistent metric definitions, deterministic calculations, source lineage and representative review samples. Poor coverage must remain visible.

Integrations and data access

Approved company facts, permitted media sources and publication workflows. Read-only business data exports, reporting databases and task trackers. Reconcile source totals before scheduling recurring data refreshes. These are candidate integration categories, not verified supported connectors.

Defensibility

Domain-specific definitions, trusted source mappings and a history connecting findings to actions and observed results. For this idea, build around transparent measurement definitions and traceable coverage evidence. This advantage requires execution and accumulated customer trust; the base model alone is not a defensible asset.

Alternatives and positioning

Analysts, business intelligence dashboards, spreadsheets and general text summarization tools. Differentiate on this specific proposed advantage: transparent measurement definitions and traceable coverage evidence. Test it against the buyer's current method on the same task. Competitor coverage and uniqueness have not been established.

Revenue model and test pricing

Test USD 500-2,000 for an initial analysis of one bounded dataset. Offer USD 250-1,000 monthly for repeat reporting at agreed volume. Data cleanup and specialist analysis are separately priced. These are test ranges.

Main delivery costs

Data preparation, reconciliation, classification, expert interpretation, customer-specific definitions and recurring reporting support.

Lead magnet

A clean campaign report from sample coverage

The first 30 days of marketing

1. Week 1: interview five prospective buyers in this segment: boutique PR agencies producing client reports. Ask to see a recent example of the problem and their current process.
2. Week 2: prepare this demonstration using authorized or synthetic material: a clean campaign report from sample coverage.
3. Week 3: present it through PR agency owner networks and seek one narrowly scoped paid pilot.
4. Week 4: review reconciled measures, reporting hours, total delivery effort and a concrete renewal decision before increasing scope.

Paid pilot and validation

Analyze one historical period and review findings with the responsible domain owner. Reconcile headline measures, inspect counterexamples and ask the buyer to choose a concrete follow-up action. For this idea, use verified coverage records and agreed campaign measures and evaluate reviewed PR campaign report. Agree success thresholds with the buyer before starting; collect a baseline for reconciled measures, reporting hours. A positive signal is payment and repeat use with acceptable quality and delivery cost, not a favorable demo reaction alone.

Success metrics

Reconciled measures, reporting hours

Retention and expansion

Repeat the same definitions each reporting period and track whether findings lead to useful action. Expand data sources without breaking historical comparability.

Operating controls and limitations

Verify public facts and quotations. Keep publication authority explicit and preserve the original context behind media and reputation findings. Validate source access and reviewer availability during the pilot. Maintain customer-level access, data deletion controls and a record of final approvals.

Investment indication

What it would take to build, from a first MVP to the full product. A planning range to start the conversation, not a quote. Running costs (model usage, hosting, reviewer hours) come on top.
