Hands-on insights from projects we actually run: data analytics, conversational analytics, AI workflow optimisation, ads agents, and MCP in marketing.

LLM 0.32 gave Claude server-side WebSearch, WebFetch, CodeExecution and MCP. Less glue to maintain, and the same old question: is the data underneath any good?

Waiting on engineering to change a schema is why analytics projects stall. Migrations put the shape of your GA4 data back in the analyst’s hands.

There is no best AI model — only the best one per task. A routing matrix for marketing: generation, analysis, automation, and what each should cost.

Your GA4 BigQuery export is a raw, event-level data model. Feature engineering — now doable with an LLM — turns it into signals your reports hide.

OpenAI split GPT-5.6 into three tiers. Route models by job — cheap tiers for volume, reasoning for money decisions — or your cost per campaign multiplies.

Everyone knows what they spent on AI tools. Almost nobody knows what those tools earned. A GA4 + BigQuery framework to close the gap.
