How We Build AI Analytics Systems for Ravenswood
AI analytics development starts with a decision inventory: we identify the specific business decisions the owner and team make regularly that would benefit from better data, then trace those decisions back to the data sources that could inform them. For a Ravenswood craft brewery, this typically surfaces decisions about production planning, staffing, event programming, and member retention, each of which can be better informed by analysis of data the brewery already holds.
From the decision inventory, we design the analytics architecture: which data sources need to be connected, which calculations and aggregations need to be run, and in what format the results should be delivered. For most Ravenswood businesses, we design for a dashboard and a weekly or monthly report that covers the key decision metrics without requiring the business owner to navigate a complex analytics platform.
We build the connections between data sources, configure the analytics calculations, and deliver the first reports for review before the system is finalized. Subsequent refinements adjust the metrics, visualizations, and reporting cadence based on how the business actually uses the initial outputs.
