Analytics Manager-led consulting

Clean up the spreadsheets and reports that keep slowing the business down.

DANZ L.L.C. turns scattered exports, fragile workbooks, Power Query steps, and recurring reports into handoff-ready systems. AI can speed up the build, but the work is grounded in years of manual systems, reporting, and planning experience.

Example Work

Start with the kind of output you can hand to a decision-maker.

These synthetic PNG previews show the kind of polished reporting, planning, and operational decision surfaces DANZ L.L.C. can create. They are not client files, formulas, prompts, or proprietary workflows.

Synthetic, not confidential.These previews use sample data and generalized business questions to show output quality without exposing client files, employer information, formulas, prompts, automation code, or proprietary workflow logic.

How Projects Take Shape

Three practical ways to turn messy work into a useful system.

Most projects start with a recurring pain: a refresh that takes too long, a report people do not trust, or a planning process that lives in too many tabs. The fix is scoped around the output people actually need to use.

01

Excel + Power Query

Make the recurring refresh easier to run.

Starts WithExports, tabs, copied formulas, and manual cleanup.
BuildStructured workbook, refresh steps, and validation checks.
Leaves BehindCleaned workbook, Power Query flow, and handoff notes.
02

Reporting Outputs

Turn source data into a sharper decision view.

Starts WithScattered KPIs, unclear totals, and reports rebuilt by hand.
BuildReport packet, trend views, exception callouts, and source checks.
Leaves BehindPDF or PNG packet, refreshed dataset, and review notes.
03

Planning Tools

Create a working surface for decisions that repeat.

Starts WithForecast, inventory, sales, or operations planning in too many places.
BuildPlanning model, ranked exceptions, assumptions, and review rhythm.
Leaves BehindWorkbook, priority queue, checklist, and next-step guidance.

Method

A simple project rhythm.

The work starts with the real process: where the data comes from, who needs the output, what keeps breaking, and what has to be easy to repeat after handoff.

01

Scope the data

Map the data sources, files, refresh steps, output owners, and pain points.

02

Clean the workflow

Structure the inputs before automating, so the output starts from something trustworthy.

03

Build the output

Create the workbook, report packet, dataset, queue, or refresh path the business actually needs.

04

Hand off the system

Review the checks, assumptions, refresh steps, and ownership notes before the project closes.

AI-Assisted, System-Owned

Strong AI work starts with knowing how the system should work without it.

DANZ L.L.C. uses AI where it meaningfully speeds up analysis, cleanup, documentation, testing, or automation. The advantage is judgment from years of building reporting and planning systems manually first, so the final workflow can still be owned, checked, and maintained.

AI should make the work stronger, not more mysterious.

  • AI-literate build processUse AI to explore, draft, refactor, test, document, and speed up the work where it earns its place.
  • Operator judgmentOutputs are reviewed against the real source process, expected totals, edge cases, and business rhythm.
  • Independent systemsThe deliverable can still be a workbook, report, refresh path, checklist, or automation the business understands.

FAQ

Useful details before you email.

A few practical answers to help you decide whether the work is a fit and what to include in the first note.

What kinds of projects fit?

Recurring spreadsheets, reporting packets, Power Query cleanup, KPI views, planning tools, and data quality checks with a clear business owner.

How is pricing handled?

Pricing is quote-based. A written scope comes before paid work starts, so the deliverable, assumptions, timing, and boundaries are clear.

Can work happen remotely?

Yes. The default is remote-first work using shared files, sample exports, calls, and written handoff notes. Local work is considered by exception.

How is data handled?

Only share what is needed to scope and complete the work. Synthetic samples, stripped-down files, or limited extracts are preferred when they can answer the question.

Does every project use AI?

No. AI is used where it makes the work better or faster, but the goal is still an understandable workflow the business can own.

What should the first email include?

Describe what happens today, what you want to happen instead, how often the process repeats, who uses the output, and what files or systems are involved.

Good Fit

Selective, scoped, and practical.

DANZ L.L.C. takes on a limited number of projects at a time. The best projects have a clear business process, recurring value, and a defined owner for decisions and feedback.

  • Remote-first
  • Local client work by exception
  • Quote-based pricing
  • Written scope before paid work starts
  • Limited capacity by design
  • No rush work unless separately scoped

Next Step

Email project details.

Email a short description of the report, spreadsheet, or process you want to improve. Include what happens today, what you want to happen instead, how often the work repeats, and what files or systems are involved.
