About us
Accountable for the outcome, from the question to the decision.
DataSense8 is a data analytics firm based in Los Angeles. We help companies see what their data actually says and turn it into decisions on margin, costs and revenue. We work with clients in the US and worldwide.
What we do
From raw data to decisions your team acts on.
Most companies already have the data. What is missing is a clear answer to a business question and a way to keep getting it. We cover that path end to end, so you do not have to coordinate several vendors.
Data audit and strategy
What is broken, duplicated or missing, and which metrics matter.
Dashboards and reporting
Reporting your team opens every week, in the tools you already pay for.
Models and forecasts
Demand, pricing, retention and risk models that turn history into decisions.
Industry research
Data-driven research for niche markets, starting with poker staking funds.
Principles
How we make decisions on a project.
The outcome, not the report
The work is done when your team uses it, not when a file is delivered.
Honest about uncertainty
Every number comes with its source, its assumptions and how sure we are of it.
The business question first
We start from the decision you need to make, not from a tool or a model.
We say no
If your data cannot answer your question, we tell you before you pay for it.
Knowledge stays with you
Code, models, dashboards and documentation are handed over, and your team is walked through them.
Who runs the projects
Senior analysts who do the work and answer for it.
You talk to the people who do the analysis: no account managers, no hand-off to juniors after the sales call.
Behind our analysis is over a decade of running retail and service businesses (pricing, purchasing, inventory, cost control) and our own research practice in online tournament poker: tournament economics, variance and portfolio risk.
How a project runs
Five steps, no surprises at the end.
01
The question
We agree on the business decision, the data and what counts as a result.
02
Data review
We check what the data can and cannot answer before you commit.
03
Quote
A fixed price for a fixed scope, in writing. If the scope changes, we say so first.
04
Work in the open
Regular check-ins with interim findings, not a black box.
05
Handover
Everything is transferred and explained, so your team can carry on without us.
