Questions leaders ask us

Straight answers about Role-Based Intelligence, Clarity and working with Clear iQ.

What is Role-Based Intelligence?

It’s how we build performance management solutions, including weekly flash reporting and monthly business reviews. We start with the decisions each role owns, from the executive team to the front line, then build the datasets, metrics, insight and market context around them. Each person gets the part of the story they act on, in the words they use.

What is Clarity?

Clarity is our AI analyst. Ask a question in plain English and it finds what moved, why it moved and how you compare with your industry, with the chart that shows it and a link to the matching report. Turn on recommended actions and each answer also suggests what you could do next, tied to the figures in the answer.

How is Clarity deployed?

Clear iQ deploys and implements Clarity entirely inside your own Azure subscription, with one deployment per client and nothing shared. It reads your Power BI data directly through a service account your IT controls, and keeps no copy of your business data. The AI models run through Azure AI Foundry in your subscription, and people sign in with their existing Microsoft accounts.

How do you keep AI costs down?

Clarity is cost-optimized by design. Each step uses the model suited to the job rather than the most expensive one, and each question reads only the data it needs. AI usage and cost are visible in Clarity’s admin console, and everything runs in your own Azure subscription.

Which BI tools do you work with?

We build the datasets and metrics behind Power BI and Tableau reporting. Clarity, our AI analyst, reads a Power BI data model, so if you want Clarity and aren’t on Power BI yet, we can build every layer for it: pipelines, warehouse, datasets and metrics, and Clarity on top.

Where does our data live?

Clarity is deployed in your own Azure subscription. Your data is never copied to ClearIQ, never shared with other clients, and never used to train AI models. Your Power BI data is processed only on Azure, in the United States.

Who can see what?

Clarity uses your existing Microsoft sign-in, and you control who sees which dataset.

How do we know an answer is right?

Every query is recorded, so figures trace back to the rows read. When the data can’t answer a question, Clarity says so.

How long until we see results?

Our 90-day plan takes you from the first decisions to leaders using real insight. Industry accelerators give you an 80% head start, so the time goes into the 20% that makes your business unique.

Which industries do you work with?

Manufacturing, distribution, professional services, home services and private equity portfolios.

Does this replace our IT or data team?

No. Senior experts do the work, and we complement your IT and data teams. After launch, we keep adding roles and supporting adoption with you.

How do we get started?

Book a 30-minute working session. We’ll map the decisions you own, the metrics behind them and the questions you need answered, and show you Clarity answering questions like yours.
