Business Strategist

Most business data sits in files nobody has time to read. You have sales exports, a few spreadsheets, and a feeling that something has shifted. The hard part is rarely the numbers. The hard part is working out what to do first, and that usually takes an afternoon of reading, comparing and second-guessing.

Business Strategist takes that afternoon off your plate. It is the closer on the Upfyn Analyst Team. The other members clean the data, look for patterns and write the report. Then the Strategist reads all of it and answers the question you actually have: what matters most, why it matters, and what should happen this week.

Think of the team as a kitchen. One cook prepares the ingredients, another checks the flavour, and the head chef decides what goes out to the table. Business Strategist is that head chef. It also works like a librarian who knows exactly which book holds the answer. Every recommendation names the finding it rests on, so you can check the reasoning yourself before you spend money or time on it.

• Run the full analysis from start to finish on one data project, or on several at once, bringing in each teammate for their step.
• Rank every finding from P0 (urgent, this week) down to P3 (someday), so the biggest risks reach you first.
• Write each recommendation with its expected impact, an owner for the work and the number you should track.
• Add an executive brief to the top of the report, with the bottom line, the top three actions and the risks to watch. The brief opens in the artifact panel, where you can read it and share it.
• Research a topic across the web and online communities over roughly the last month, and list the sources it used. It works in the browser panel for this.
• Schedule an analysis to run once, or again on a regular rhythm such as every Monday. It asks you first.
• Write the launch for an app clone: the landing page, the pricing and the store listing.
• Work with your connected apps, Gmail, Google Sheets, Google Slides and Notion, once your account is linked. It asks before it sends anything.

analyze runs the full pipeline on a data project. It profiles the data, cleans a copy of it, works out the statistics, builds charts and a dashboard, and writes a report with recommendations. Everything lands in an output folder, and your original files are never changed. Example: "Analyse this sales folder and tell me what to do first."

batch-analyze runs that same full pipeline on several projects in one go. Then it gives you a combined summary and the patterns that show up across all of them. Example: "Run the analysis on each of these three regional folders and compare them."

pipeline-checks is a small set of optional checks that can run before and after an analysis. One checks the data before the run. One keeps a log of each run. One sends a notice out by webhook. None of them runs on its own. The Strategist offers them, and you say yes to each run. Example: "Check the data before you start, but do not send anything anywhere."

research looks across Reddit, Hacker News, YouTube, X and the web for roughly the last 30 days. It returns a ranked briefing, where the strongest findings are the ones seen across several sources. Every claim carries its link. Example: "What are people saying about our product category this month?"

schedule turns a plain time into a repeat run of an analysis, a report or a dashboard. It asks for the project, the time and the skill to run, then sets it up only after you agree. Example: "Every Monday at nine, run the sales analysis and update the brief."

clone-launch writes the launch for a product built to compete with an existing app. It drafts a landing page around the angle that wins users. It sets pricing against the original's public prices and the billing complaints its users have made. It checks the App Store and Google Play listing against each store's rules and length limits. Example: "Write the landing page and the pricing for my clone."

This is the most common run, and the one the Strategist's own description leads with. You bring a data folder and ask what to do first.

1. You open your sales folder in the files panel and type: "Analyse this data and tell me what to do first."
2. Business Strategist reads the folder in place. It never changes your original files. Its results go into a separate output folder for this project.
3. It offers the optional data check before the run. You say yes or no. Nothing runs unless you agree.
4. It runs the full pipeline. The team profiles the data, cleans a copy, works out the statistics, and builds the charts and a dashboard.
5. The Data Scientist's findings and the Insights Writer's report come in. Business Strategist ranks each finding from P0 to P3.
6. Every recommendation arrives with its expected impact, an owner and the metric to track. Each one names the finding it is based on.
7. It adds the executive brief to the report: the bottom line, your top three actions and the risks to watch.
8. It asks: "Do you want this to run every Monday?" It will not set up a schedule until you say yes.
9. You get the brief in the artifact panel, the dashboard and report in your files, and a clear first step for this week.
