How do we start a Power BI project from scratch?
We start with outcomes, not tools. I ask the questions that clarify what your business actually needs: what decisions should the dashboard support, which KPIs matter, who uses it, and how often. Then we define the outputs so there’s a clean target before any modeling starts.

What happens in the first deep dive / as-is analysis?
I review your current environment: data sources, reporting pain points, existing Power BI content (if any), KPI definitions, and constraints (security, refresh, ownership). The goal is to identify the best-fit approach to automate your reporting—without building the wrong thing.

How do we build the solution together?
Delivery depends on your sources and tooling, but the structure stays consistent: truth layer first (definitions + model), then visuals built around actions. You’ll see progress early, and we iterate fast—so you don’t wait weeks for a “big reveal.”
