The starting point
Five years of pricing changes had accumulated in a revenue pipeline nobody fully trusted. Finance couldn’t change a price without filing an engineering ticket, and no one could say — to the dollar — whether the revenue numbers were right.
The method
We rebuilt the revenue analytics from source: every rate, every contract term, every calculation reconciled against the systems of record. Validation wasn’t a final step — it was the method. Each rebuilt component had to match reality before the next one started.
The result
The rebuild validated $84M in revenue to 0.002% accuracy — 5× tighter than the engagement’s own target, every dollar reconciled to source. Along the way it surfaced 15 silent production bugs and a $472K undocumented rate anomaly nobody had caught. Finance now controls pricing directly, with no engineering tickets.
“The migration delivered exceptional results: 606% Year 1 ROI, 90% faster dashboards, and 0.002% variance on revenue calculations — 2,500× better than industry standard. What used to take 8-16 hours quarterly now runs automatically. The engineering rigor and speed of delivery exceeded expectations. Most importantly, we now have board-ready financial analytics we can trust.”
