Databox surfaces metrics. Fairview surfaces decisions.
Databox aggregates metrics from your tools into dashboards. Fairview turns the same data into operating decisions — margin by channel, pipeline risk, forecast confidence, and a ranked next action.

Answers
What's leaking, and what do I do?
Databox was built for a different job. Operators need more.
Pain 01
Metric aggregation ≠ decision intelligence
Databox shows you numbers from many tools. It doesn't reconcile margin, score pipeline, or rank actions.
Pain 02
No cross-tool financial math
Contribution margin needs revenue + COGS + ad spend + fulfilment. Databox cards show each in isolation.
Pain 03
Dashboards, not actions
Metric walls sit there. They don't flag stalled deals or surface next steps for Monday.
Pain 04
No forecast confidence
Databox doesn't score your pipeline or model your forecast quality.
Pain 05
Scaling team coverage is seat-heavy
Costs rise with users and sources as team coverage expands.
Pain 06
Purpose-built for marketing
Databox leans marketing KPIs. Operating intelligence — margin, pipeline, cash — is a different shape.
