The Problem
You Can't Govern What You Can't See
Most organizations can't answer basic questions about their own analytics portfolio. How many apps do you have? Which ones are actually used? What feeds what? Who owns what? What's ready for AI and what isn't?
Without answers, every decision is a guess — migrations get scoped wrong, R.O.T. accumulates silently, and AI initiatives stall because nobody trusts the foundation.
The Evil Genius Diagnostic gives you the answers in two weeks. Not a slide deck full of theory — a complete, evidence-based picture of your analytics portfolio with a clear plan to act on it.
What You Get
Six Deliverables. Zero Guesswork.
Complete Portfolio Inventory
Full catalog of apps, data connections, scripts, and objects across your analytics environment.
Dependency Map
Visual map of what feeds what, who uses what, and where the hidden connections live.
R.O.T. Classification
Every app classified as Redundant, Obsolete, or Trivial — with the data to back it up.
AI Readiness Score
Assessment of which data assets are governed enough for AI to consume and which need work.
License & Cost Analysis
Quantified breakdown of license utilization, wasted spend, and consolidation savings — the hard numbers to build your business case.
Prioritized Action Plan
A sequenced roadmap: what to retire, what to migrate, what to modernize, and in what order.
How It Works
Three Steps. Two Weeks.
Discovery
A 30-minute call to understand your environment, your goals, and what's keeping you up at night. We define the diagnostic boundaries together.
Scan
We connect to your analytics environment and scan — apps, connections, scripts, usage patterns, dependencies. Hours, not weeks.
Deliver
You receive a comprehensive diagnostic report with all six deliverables, a live walkthrough with your team, and a clear path forward.
Is This Right for You?
The Diagnostic Is For You If…
- You suspect significant R.O.T. in your analytics portfolio but can't quantify it
- You've been asked to make your data foundation "AI-ready" and need a starting point
- You're planning a platform migration or consolidation and need to know the real scope before you start
- A new CIO or CDO wants visibility into what the organization actually has
- You want to clean up and optimize your current environment — no migration required

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
The diagnostic works across any analytics platform — Qlik, Power BI, Tableau, Looker, or mixed environments. We have deep expertise in Qlik ecosystems, but the framework is platform-agnostic.
We need read-only access to your analytics platform's management APIs and metadata. We'll define the exact access requirements during the discovery call. We never touch production data.
Most organizations have some form of inventory — and most are incomplete or outdated. Our scan catches what manual inventories miss: orphaned objects, undocumented dependencies, shadow apps, and usage patterns that spreadsheets can't capture.
Vendor assessments are designed to sell you more licenses. Our diagnostic is independent — we have no platform to sell. We tell you what to keep, what to kill, and what's actually ready for AI. No upsell, no bias.
You own the deliverables — use them however you want. Most clients move into a Governance Retainer for ongoing governance or a Strategic Transformation engagement to act on the findings. But there's no obligation. The diagnostic stands on its own.
Absolutely. The diagnostic can cover your entire analytics portfolio or focus on a specific business unit, platform, or use case. We'll define the boundaries together during the discovery call.
