The numbers are all there.
We make them legible.
Lantern Data cleans up the reports you already dread opening — then builds dashboards your team actually reads on a Monday morning.
Four moves from mess to a metric you trust.
No jargon, no year-long roadmap. We scope a fixed piece of work and hand it back working. Open a step for the details people usually ask about.
We start with an audit — every spreadsheet, POS export, ad account and app you pull numbers from. Most clients have between five and a dozen sources they didn't know were disagreeing with each other. You get a plain map of all of it before anything gets built.
We de-duplicate, fix the date fields, reconcile the definitions of “revenue” across your tools, and load it into a small warehouse that lives in your cloud account — not ours. Messy data is the normal starting point. That's the job, not a problem.
One view for the owner, one for the ops lead — each showing the four or five figures that change a decision, and nothing else. We build on tools you already pay for where we can, so there's no new subscription to babysit.
The weekly numbers refresh on their own and land in your inbox or Slack every Monday at 7am. After launch you keep everything — dashboards, warehouse, the pipeline. An upkeep retainer is optional, not a leash.
The same analyst, start of scope to handoff.
Whoever maps your data is the one who builds it. No account-manager relay.
Built on tools you already run.
Sheets, BigQuery, Looker, your CRM — we meet your stack instead of selling ours.
Owners who've outgrown the spreadsheet, not the questions.
The Valley's small teams
Most of our work is for Glendale and greater Phoenix businesses running 5–75 people — big enough to drown in numbers, small enough that nobody's job is to make sense of them.
Clinics & dental groups
E-commerce & DTC
Ad spend, Shopify, returns and margin in one honest view — not four tabs that never quite add up.
Home-services companies
Jobs booked, crew utilization, revenue by service line — the numbers that tell you whether to hire before the phone stops ringing.
Franchise & multi-site
Nonprofits & grant reporting
Program metrics packaged for funders on a schedule, so grant season isn't a two-week fire drill.
SaaS founders
MRR, churn and cohort retention that reconcile with the bank account — the boring version you can raise on.
We don't sell charts. We sell the ten quiet minutes on Monday when you already know what happened last week — and why — before anyone walks into your office.
Everything else — the warehouse, the pipelines, the pretty dashboards — is just how we get you those ten minutes back, every week.
Three ways to start. Each one is a real, finished thing.
