Structured makes it easy to define, manage, and scale your business metrics with confidence. By providing a robust semantic layer that integrates with your cloud data warehouse, Structured ensures consistency and reliability in the metrics that guide your business decisions.

Step 1: Connect Your Data Warehouse

Connect Data Sources

Begin by connecting Structured to your cloud data warehouse, such as Google BigQuery. This one-click integration enables Structured to access your data, setting the foundation for consistent metric definitions across your organization. The platform supports various data sources, ensuring all your critical data is centralized and ready for analysis.

Step 2: Define and Standardize Your Metrics

Define Metrics

Use Structured to define and standardize key business metrics such as Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC), Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR), and Churn Rate. Access a library of pre-built metric templates or create custom metrics tailored to your specific business needs. Ensure all teams are aligned by establishing clear, consistent definitions that everyone can rely on.

Step 3: Govern and Manage Metric Ownership

Governance and Control

Assign ownership of metrics to specific departments, such as Finance or Marketing, while allowing others to view or suggest changes. Structured’s version control tracks all changes, ensuring that your metrics remain accurate and consistent over time. This governance model helps maintain trust and integrity across all levels of the organization.

Step 4: Automate Monitoring and Alerts

Proactive Alerts

Configure Structured to monitor your metrics continuously and alert you to any anomalies. Whether it’s a sudden spike in CAC or an unexpected drop in MRR, Structured’s AI-driven alerts notify you before these issues escalate, allowing for quick, informed decision-making. This proactive approach helps you stay ahead of potential problems and ensures smooth operational performance.

Step 5: Streamline Data Requests and Documentation

Data Request Management

Structured includes an integrated ticketing system to manage data-related requests across your organization. Whether it’s a request for a new metric, a data discrepancy, or additional analysis, you can easily submit, track, and resolve these requests within the platform. Additionally, Structured automatically generates documentation as you set up and manage metrics, providing a reliable reference point for all users.

Step 6: Analyze and Share Insights

Analytics

Use Structured to create dynamic reports and dashboards that visualize your key metrics and business insights. Whether you need to generate a monthly performance report or monitor real-time data through a dashboard, Structured provides the tools you need to share and collaborate on data-driven insights effectively.


This quickstart guide is designed to help you get up and running with Structured quickly. By following these steps, you’ll be able to connect your data sources, define and govern your metrics, automate monitoring, and streamline data requests, ensuring that your organization operates with consistent, reliable metrics that drive better decision-making.
