Advanced Analytics

Configurable metric widgets · Automated alerts · Comparative reporting

Your Configurable Analytics Command Centre

Advanced Analytics Dashboard is a fully configurable metric intelligence layer on top of your Corpfy data. Unlike the KPI Dashboard — which shows a standard set of executive metrics — Advanced Analytics lets you build custom widget layouts, track any combination of metrics, set automated alerts, and generate comparative reports tailored to your startup's specific stage and priorities.

Every founder tracks different signals. A pre-revenue startup cares about DAU retention and burn. A Series A company cares about CAC payback and NRR. Advanced Analytics lets you configure the exact dashboard your stage demands — without being locked into a fixed template.

  • Configurable widget canvas: choose metric type, chart style, and layout for each widget
  • Four widget types: Number, Gauge, Line Chart, and Bar Chart — covering all core analytics formats
  • Automated alert system: set thresholds on any metric and receive instant notifications when breached
  • Comparative analysis: period-over-period comparisons across any metric combination
  • Report generation: export custom metric reports for board meetings and investor updates

The Four Widget Types

Bar Chart

Compare values across time periods or categories. Ideal for: Monthly revenue comparison, CAC by acquisition channel, headcount growth by quarter, feature adoption by user segment.

Best for: Discrete comparisons where the difference between values matters more than trends.

Line Chart

Track continuous trends over time. Ideal for: MRR growth trajectory, retention cohort curves, NPS trend over 12 months, daily active users over rolling 30 days.

Best for: Spotting trends, inflection points, and acceleration or deceleration in key metrics.

Gauge / Donut

Show progress toward a target or the proportion of a whole. Ideal for: Fundraising progress, roadmap completion %, ESOP utilisation, market penetration rate, compliance score.

Best for: Single-metric status against a defined target — instant visual health check.

Number / KPI Tile

Surface a single critical metric with period-over-period delta. Ideal for: Current MRR, cash balance, active customers, burn rate, runway months, open headcount.

Best for: Executive summaries where a single number tells the story at a glance.

Key Metrics You Can Track

Metric Category What It Measures Alert Threshold (Typical)
MRR / ARRRevenueMonthly and annual recurring revenue — your primary revenue health signalAlert if MoM growth drops below 5% for 2 consecutive months

RunwayFinanceMonths of cash remaining at current burn rateAlert at 18 months (plan raise), urgent at 12 months
CACGrowthCustomer Acquisition Cost — total sales and marketing spend ÷ new customers acquiredAlert if CAC increases more than 20% quarter-over-quarter
LTVGrowthCustomer Lifetime Value — average revenue per customer over their entire relationshipAlert if LTV:CAC ratio drops below 3:1
Churn RateRetention% of customers or revenue lost in a period — the inverse of retentionAlert if monthly logo churn exceeds 2% or revenue churn exceeds 1%
NPSRetentionNet Promoter Score — % Promoters minus % Detractors from customer surveysAlert if NPS drops below 30 (strong PMF requires 40+)
Gross MarginFinance(Revenue – COGS) ÷ Revenue — shows how much revenue remains after direct costsAlert if gross margin falls below 60% (SaaS) or 40% (marketplace)
DAU / MAUProductDaily and Monthly Active Users — engagement depth and product stickinessAlert if DAU/MAU ratio drops below 20% for consumer, 40% for B2B SaaS
Active UsersProductUsers who performed a core action in the period — your engagement baselineSet custom target based on stage; alert on 10% week-over-week decline

Alert System — Never Miss a Critical Signal

How Alerts Work

Set threshold conditions on any tracked metric. When a condition is breached — in either direction — an alert fires immediately. Alerts appear in the Founder's Cockpit alerts panel, in-app notifications, and optionally via email.

  • Threshold alerts: "Alert me when burn rate exceeds ₹50L/month"
  • Trend alerts: "Alert me when MRR growth falls below 5% for 2 consecutive months"
  • Comparison alerts: "Alert me when CAC this month is 20% higher than last month"
  • Target alerts: "Alert me when NPS drops below 40 or rises above 60"

Alert Priority Levels

  • Critical (Red): Requires immediate action — runway below 6 months, churn above 5% monthly, CAC exceeding LTV
  • Warning (Amber): Needs attention within the week — runway below 12 months, NPS below 30, burn up 20% MoM
  • Info (Blue): Notable change worth tracking — new milestone reached, metric trending positive

Pre-built Alert Packages by Stage

  • Seed Stage Pack: Runway (12mo warning, 6mo critical), Burn Rate (>15% MoM), MRR Growth (<10% MoM for 2 months)
  • Series A Pack: CAC Payback (>18 months), LTV:CAC (<3:1), Net Revenue Retention (<100%), Gross Margin (<65%)
  • Growth Pack: DAU/MAU (<20%), Churn (logo >2%, revenue >1%), NPS (<40), Feature Adoption (<30% D30)

Report Generation — Board and Investor Ready

What Reports Cover

The report module generates structured metric summaries from your configured dashboard. Reports include:

  • Executive Summary: All Number/KPI tile metrics with period-over-period deltas in a single-page summary
  • Trend Analysis: Line chart data exported as tables showing week-over-week or month-over-month values for each tracked metric
  • Alert History: All alerts fired in the period with dates, thresholds breached, and resolution status
  • Comparative Period: This quarter vs. last quarter, or this year vs. last year, across all configured metrics

How to Use Reports in Board Meetings

  • Generate the monthly report on the 1st of each month before the board update email goes out
  • Export to CSV for embedding in your investor update template
  • Use the Alert History section to proactively explain any metrics that triggered warnings in the period — boards appreciate transparency over surprises
  • The Comparative Period report shows your trend line, not just a snapshot — this is what sophisticated investors use to evaluate momentum

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Advanced Analytics different from the KPI Dashboard? +

KPI Dashboard shows a fixed set of executive metrics (MRR, ARR, CAC, LTV, NPS, headcount) in a standard layout — it's your daily health summary. Advanced Analytics is fully configurable: you choose which metrics to show, what chart type to use for each, how to arrange them, and what alert thresholds to set. Use KPI Dashboard for your daily 5-minute check. Use Advanced Analytics to build the specific metric view your board, investors, or functional team leaders need.

Can I create multiple dashboard configurations for different audiences? +

Yes. You can save multiple widget configurations — for example, a "Finance View" showing burn rate, runway, MRR, and gross margin; a "Product View" showing DAU, retention, NPS, and feature adoption; and an "Investor View" showing MRR growth, CAC, LTV, and fundraising progress. Each view is saved as a named configuration and can be switched between in seconds. Share specific views with investors via read-only access from the Investor Relations module.

Which metrics can I track and what data sources feed them? +

Advanced Analytics pulls from all connected Corpfy integrations: MRR/ARR/Burn from your accounting tool (Zoho Books, Tally, QuickBooks); CAC/Pipeline from your CRM (HubSpot, Corpfy CRM Pipeline); DAU/Product metrics from Mixpanel, Amplitude, or Corpfy Product Analytics; NPS from customer survey tools; Headcount from HR & Payroll. Manual entry is also supported for metrics not covered by integrations. Any metric visible in any Corpfy module can be surfaced as a widget in Advanced Analytics.

How do I set up an alert that fires when my runway drops below 12 months? +

Go to the Alerts tab in Advanced Analytics. Click "New Alert". Select "Runway" as the metric. Set the condition to "less than" and the threshold to "12". Set priority to "Warning". Save. From that point, whenever your calculated runway (cash balance ÷ average monthly burn) drops below 12 months, an alert fires in your Founder's Cockpit alerts panel and via email. You can add a second Critical alert at 6 months. Both alerts auto-resolve when runway recovers above the threshold.

What format are reports exported in? +

Reports are exported as CSV (for embedding in Google Sheets or Excel) and PDF (for investor email attachments and board packs). The PDF version includes chart images alongside the data table. The CSV version exports raw metric data in rows, making it easy to build your own pivot tables or charts in your preferred tool. All exports include the reporting period, metric definitions, and data source labels.

Key Takeaways for Advanced Analytics Dashboard

Configure your dashboard to match your stage, not a generic template:

A pre-revenue startup and a Series A company need fundamenCorpfy Financial Planning different dashboards. Pre-revenue: focus on retention cohorts, DAU/MAU, burn rate, and runway. Post-revenue: focus on MRR growth, CAC payback, NRR, and gross margin. Advanced Analytics lets you build the exact view your stage demands rather than forcing you to interpret metrics that don't yet apply to your business. Start with 6–8 core widgets, resist the temptation to track everything, and add metrics only when you have a decision to make from them.

Alerts are more valuable than dashboards — configure them before you need them:

A dashboard you check weekly tells you what happened. An alert tells you the moment something happens that requires action. The most dangerous metric failures — runway below 6 months, NRR dropping below 100%, CAC exceeding LTV — often go unnoticed for weeks when they're buried in a dashboard founders check irregularly. Set your 5 critical alerts on day one (runway at 18 months and 12 months, burn rate increase, CAC rise, churn spike) and let the system surface problems the moment they emerge rather than discovering them in a monthly review.

The LTV:CAC ratio below 3:1 is the most common Series A red flag — track it weekly:

Institutional investors evaluate LTV:CAC as a primary signal of business model health. Below 3:1 means you spend ₹1 to acquire a customer who returns less than ₹3 over their lifetime — the economics do not support scaling. Above 5:1 means you may be underspending on growth. The 3:1–5:1 range is the growth sweet spot for most SaaS and subscription businesses. Track this as a Number widget with a Warning alert at 3.0 and a Critical alert at 2.0. Investors will ask for this ratio in every funding conversation — knowing it in real time keeps you prepared.

Comparative period analysis reveals momentum — absolute numbers do not:

A single metric snapshot is nearly meaningless without context. ₹1 crore MRR means nothing unless you know it was ₹60 lakh three months ago (strong acceleration) or ₹1.2 crore three months ago (deceleration). The Advanced Analytics comparative period feature always shows current vs. prior period delta, percentage change, and 3-month trend direction for every configured widget. This is what transforms a dashboard from a reporting tool into a decision-making instrument — it tells you not just where you are, but whether your trajectory is improving.
