EXPERTISE
Data Analysis
Are you still making decisions without a clear understanding of your data? We transform your raw data into actionable insights so you can manage your business with clarity and confidence.
The finding
Having data isn’t enough. Too often, it’s scattered across disparate tools and siloed IT systems, poorly defined, and difficult for business teams to interpret. As a result, decisions are made based on instinct, reports multiply without being truly aligned, and data continues to be viewed as a technical issue rather than a business driver.
That is exactly where our Data Analysis Practice comes in.
Our support
Our experts work alongside your teams to understand your business challenges before building anything. We support you throughout the entire analytics process: from defining your key metrics to deploying your dashboards and training your teams. Our data analysts apply the statistical methods best suited to each business question, from simple metric tracking to the most exploratory analyses.
What we solve
Your data is available, but no one really knows how to interpret or use it?
We organize your metrics, train your teams, and implement tools that make data accessible to everyone, without requiring advanced IT skills.
Are your reports time-consuming, unreliable, or poorly adopted by the business units?
We redesign them to address your actual management challenges, automating what can be automated and simplifying what needs to be simplified.
Does your organization lack data maturity and governance?
We establish the frameworks, processes, and best practices that lay the foundation for a sustainable data culture.

Examples of assignments
As part of the management team of an e-commerce site for electronics and household appliances, a consultant was called in to improve the purchasing and post-purchasing customer experience. Analysis of sales KPIs, NPS, customer service activities and user feedback to define a strategy and roadmap, and proposal of a Discovery methodology.
Working for a customer in the supply chain sector, our team, comprising two Product Managers and a Product Designer, was dedicated to the delivery and discovery of their applications. Our intervention was also aimed at guiding the customer towards a more product-centric approach (frequent delivery, OKR, product vision, design process, post-implementation follow-up).
As part of the Product teams of a player in the sports betting industry, our Product Manager leads a multi-profile team: Tech, QA, Design. He is involved in identifying and prioritizing Product initiatives in the context of the creation of a new Offers platform. He leads the Delivery activity in an environment with strong dependencies between Product squads.
In an agritech startup developing autonomous robots, our Product Manager structured the Product organization to support its ramp-up. The mission began with a co-constructed 3-5-year product vision, which was then translated with the teams. A diagnosis of 20 key themes enabled us to measure product maturity and prioritize 33 concrete recommendations. The intervention laid down the fundamentals: clarification of roles, adoption of OKRs, Definition of Done, framing of tests, structuring of rituals. The result: faster decisions, better coordination, smoother development cycles and enhanced performance.
As part of the digital department of France's leading radio group, our Product Management consultant oversaw the design, implementation and roll-out of a new program schedule management tool for all the group's channels. The mission began with an in-depth Discovery phase (user interviews, benchmarking of other media practices, "make or buy" arbitration), and continued with the definition of a clear Product vision, the elaboration of a structured roadmap, the delivery of an operational MVP, and then the progressive roll-out to each channel.

How we work
We always start by gaining a deep understanding of your business challenges before making any recommendations. No off-the-shelf dashboards: every analytics solution is tailored to your metrics, your users, and your product goals.
The choice of methods follows the same logic: analyzing a cross-tabulation involving thousands of individuals and dozens of variables does not require the same techniques as weekly performance tracking. Depending on the situation, we use descriptive statistics, segmentation, or factor analysis (principal component analysis, correspondence analysis) to identify the information that truly shapes the data.
Our Data Analysts work closely with all of your teams—including Product teams, Product Managers, Developers, Data Engineers, and Data Scientists—to ensure that analysis is never just a technical exercise, but rather a powerful tool for driving your products and business decisions.

Turning data into a decision-making tool
In an environment where data is growing exponentially, true value lies not in the volume of data but in the ability to use it to make informed decisions. Analysis means understanding what is happening, why it is happening, and what to do next.
At 5 Degrés, we help our clients turn raw data into actionable insights—the kind that guide a roadmap, justify an investment, and improve the user experience. From scale-ups to companies with thousands of employees, our approach remains the same: we start with the decision that needs to be made, never with the tool to be deployed.
An approach focused on your business challenges
Our experts don’t create dashboards just for the sake of it. They start by understanding your business objectives so they can build analyses that truly address them.
Understanding your business and organizational contexts
Impact- and decision-oriented approach
Close collaboration with your data, product, and business teams
Ongoing monitoring of analytical tools and practices
Goal: to provide reliable, clear, and actionable insights. Each metric is chosen for the decisions it enables, not for the data it displays.
From reporting to governance
Effective reporting relies on high-quality, well-defined data that is shared by everyone. We help our clients establish their data governance frameworks, including defining data standards, managing access, documenting metrics, and ensuring GDPR compliance.
This rigor is what transforms a reporting tool into a true management tool, one that is adopted and maintained over the long term by business teams. We thus strengthen internal capabilities through ongoing training and the adoption of new collaborative tools.
The storytelling as a driver of adoption
Data only has an impact if it is understood and put to use. Our data storytelling experts translate complex analyses into clear narratives that are accessible to everyone across the organization, from operational teams to executive committees. The information is prioritized based on the decisions it enables, not on the technical complexity involved in producing it.
Because an informed decision starts with clear communication.
The Data for Product and Business Units
Our data analysts work closely with all relevant stakeholders—data engineers, data scientists, product managers, developers, and business teams—using data as a common language to advance a shared vision.
This cross-functional approach speeds up projects, aligns teams, and ensures that the analyses produced meet the organization’s actual needs. The result: more autonomous teams, faster decision-making, and higher-performing products.
FAQ - Data Analysis
A report presents figures. A management tool informs a decision: its metrics are chosen for the trade-offs they help resolve, their definitions are documented and shared, and they are consulted at a specific point in the decision-making cycle. The difference lies less in the tool itself than in the governance surrounding it.
Three causes consistently arise: the metrics do not align with the decisions teams actually make; their definitions are not shared, which fuels disagreements over the numbers; or interpreting the data requires too much effort. A dashboard that isn’t adopted is almost always a problem of context, not visualization.
Start with decisions, not the available data. For each potential indicator: What decision does a change in it trigger? Who is responsible for it? How often is it reviewed? Those that don’t pass this test make the report harder to read without adding any value. It’s better to have five indicators that are actually tracked than forty that are simply listed.
This is the practice of translating an analysis into a narrative that is understandable to the intended audience: context, findings, cause, consequence, and recommended action. It is key to ensuring acceptance, because an accurate but unreadable analysis will not lead to any decision. The level of detail is tailored to the audience, ranging from an operational team to an executive committee.
It encompasses the rules that ensure data remains reliable and usable over time: shared data repositories, indicator documentation, access management, quality controls, and GDPR compliance. The most cost-effective starting point is the indicator dictionary: establishing a single, formal definition for each metric eliminates most disagreements over the numbers.
We remain neutral on this issue. The decision should be based on your existing ecosystem, the internal expertise available to maintain the dashboards, and the level of autonomy desired for the business units. A tool that seems perfectly suited on paper but that no one knows how to evolve quickly becomes a roadblock.
