Inside DarkField Foundation

The report that runs the month.

Most businesses don't lack data - they lack a verdict. Six tools, six versions of the truth, and nobody saying “do these three things, in this order.” Foundation's monthly report is that verdict, delivered every month, with last month's verdict scored against what actually happened.

The monthly cycle - findings become actions, actions get measured

The status quo

How website analytics usually works.

If any of this feels familiar, it isn't a tooling problem - it's that nobody ever joined the tools.

Dashboard sprawl

GA4, the ad platforms, your own backend, the email tool - each reporting its own version of the month. More dashboards never produced more decisions; they produce meetings about which number to believe.

The analyst bottleneck

Every real question queues behind whoever knows the tools. By the time the answer arrives, the decision it was for has already been made - on instinct.

Reports without verdicts

Typical agency reporting restates what the platforms already show. What's missing is the only part that matters: what to change, what it should earn, and whether last month's advice actually worked.

01

All sources, one analysis

GA4, paid channels, email, price benchmarks and sales data flow into your own BigQuery warehouse - captured server-side, cleaned of bots and noise, consent-recovered, stitched to real visitors. Then it's analysed as one thing, not six. Patterns that cross channels finally surface: email lifting paid ROAS, price position driving funnel drop-off, a campaign feeding on traffic that never converts.

02

Findings become actions

Every finding ends in a recommendation: exactly what to change, ranked by impact × ease, each with an expected number attached and a date to check it by. You implement - we tell you which changes to ship first and what each one should be worth. No “interesting insight” is allowed to end without an action.

03

Automated and deep

The analysis runs automatically every month, with deep-dive routines that interrogate the joins on their own - product pricing × ad spend, visitor engagement × campaign reach, revenue by hour × budget pacing - to find what nobody thought to ask about. The hidden findings are usually the valuable ones, because everything visible in a single dashboard has already been acted on by someone.

04

Results compound

Each report opens by scoring last month's recommendations against reality - HIT, MISS or LEARN, in writing. That honesty is the product: over months, the actions that worked stack, the misses teach, and the report stops being a document and becomes a compounding growth plan with a track record you can audit.

In your hands

What you actually get

  • A monthly growth report: the verdict, the findings, and ranked actions with expected numbers and check-by dates
  • Last month's recommendations scored HIT / MISS / LEARN - in writing, every month
  • Answers to your questions about the report and your data, within fair use
  • Your own BigQuery warehouse - unified, cleaned, and yours to keep if we ever part ways

The sample report shows the exact format - download it and read one end to end before you decide anything.

For marketing managers

Built to be forwarded

If you report to a CEO or a board, the monthly report is your Monday meeting: credible numbers, the why in plain language, and the questions you'd be asked - answered before they're asked. Forward it as-is.

Budget season

Budget that defends itself

Return per channel and expected value on every action turn “trust me, we need the spend” into a reading, not a negotiation. And because every call is scored in writing, your decisions carry a paper trail.

Included

Everything in Foundation

Sources unified & cleaned, the monthly findings report with prioritised actions, and answers to your questions about the data. One fixed monthly fee plus the one-time setup - and no lock-in.

Proof · sample report

One month, three findings

The best-priced products earning 20.8× ROAS on a starved budget, evening hours throttled while 45.5% of revenue lands there, and 6 185 warm visitors no campaign was touching - all from a single report.

Fair questions

You're probably wondering.

01How is this different from the reporting we already get?

Platform reporting shows you one tool's view; agency reporting usually restates it. This is built on all your sources joined together - which is where the findings live - and it scores its own advice every month. If a recommendation missed, the next report says so. Ask your current reporting when it last did that.

02Do I need to be technical to use it?

No. The report is written to be read by the person who runs the business - every finding in plain language, every action concrete, no SQL and no login. The pipes, the warehouse and the cleaning are our job.

03I'm not the owner - how do I sell this internally?

Mostly, you don't have to: the sample report is the pitch. Forward it to whoever signs off - it shows exactly what lands every month. After month one the report argues its own case: expected numbers on every recommendation, honest HIT / MISS / LEARN scoring, and your CEO's follow-up questions already answered. You get the wins; the paper trail covers the bets.

04What happens during setup?

We connect on day one - tracking and every Google source piped into your warehouse immediately, because the platforms don't backfill: collection starts the day we connect. While the first month of data lands, we run the tracking health check, fix what it finds, and start adding your other sources. Your first findings report arrives after one month of clean data; the first holistic report - every source, one analysis - lands in month three. From there the monthly cycle runs.
