This capability inherits the Data Analyst's pricing model. The role's launch fee + monthly retainer + role-level usage cover every capability under the role. Adding this capability to an active deployment does not change the price.
What this capability handles
Anomaly Detection watches key metrics against baselines and thresholds, detects material deltas, assembles contributing-factor context from the semantic model, and routes alerts — with analyst review on business-impact calls.
Workflow summary
Watches metrics, detects delta, assembles context, routes alert.
Stages
Decision logic
Uses baseline deviation rules and threshold logic to detect anomalies and assemble contributing-factor explanations.

Exceptions & human handoff
Material-impact anomalies, cross-metric correlations, or regulator-facing metrics route to the analyst for review.
Material impact, cross-metric correlation, or regulator-facing metric.
Readiness
Metric baselines current, anomaly thresholds agreed, contributing-factor map wired.

When this capability shows up
Patterns where anomaly detection is part of the launch set, with volume and pricing anchored to each company profile.
Enterprise services firm with pipeline complexity and executive reporting
Services · 800-2000
1,200 / mo
A 1500-person services firm handles 1200 queries and reports a month across engagement-mix, utilization, and margin metrics. Pipeline breaks surface days late. Anomalies land in leadership decks before the data team sees them.
Data Analyst activates all four capabilities. Questions answer in minutes; recurring reports ship on cadence; pipeline breaks surface in hours; anomalies flag with contributing-factor context.
Expected outcomes: cycle-time reduction 50-70% on ad-hoc queue, pipeline-health detection lead time in hours, metric anomaly time-to-flag in minutes.
Monthly cost
€960–€4.2k
vs human anchor
€8.5k–€28k

eCommerce brand with pipeline breaks and commercial anomaly risk
eCommerce · 250-800
2,200 / mo
A 450-person eCommerce brand handles 2200 queries and reports a month across merchandising, marketing-mix, and margin metrics. Pipeline breaks surface in dashboards before the data team sees them. Anomaly patterns reach leadership without context.
Data Analyst activates NL-to-SQL, data-quality monitoring and anomaly detection. Questions answer in minutes; pipeline breaks surface within hours of occurrence; anomalies flag with contributing-factor context before leadership sees them.
Expected outcomes: query turnaround sub-minute on routine, pipeline-health detection lead time in hours, metric anomaly time-to-flag in minutes.
Monthly cost
€1.8k–€7.7k
