“I want to spend hours slicing and dicing my data just to know how my key
metrics move!”, said no one ever. Sisu is using sophisticated machine learning
algorithms to free up countless hours of users’ time in understanding why
their metrics are changing. Based on years of cutting-edge research at
Stanford, our software platform enables users to quickly and comprehensively
understand what’s driving their key metrics, so they never miss a window of
opportunity to act.
Sisu is a fundamental rearchitecture of how users interact with data. Instead
of relying on users to tell us what they want to see, as in traditional
dashboarding systems, Sisu predicts users’ intent based on their metrics of
interest, and past behaviors. We take this kind of predictive analysis for
granted in consumer applications (e.g., Netflix, Google, Facebook), but the
hardest interface design and ranking problems lie in making private data found
in everyday organizations actionable. The key problem we’re solving as a first
step in this direction is to help identify what’s driving change in key
metrics like revenue, retention, and churn among the enormous set of factors
like user demographics, campaigns, and acquisition channels. To do so, we
combine statistical analysis and machine learning at scale to provide users
personalized, real-time diagnoses of changes in their metrics via an
explainable, interpretable user interface.
