Ask Beacon

Ask your company anything. Get an answer you can defend.

Every number in the business is one question away, from Slack, from your CRM, from anywhere you work. And every answer arrives with where it came from, how fresh it is, and how sure it is.

The straight answer

Everybody has a number. Nobody has the answer.

The spreadsheet
One team's version of the number, carefully kept and genuinely useful to them.
The catch
It's the third different figure in the room today.
The dashboard
Last night's refresh, laid out cleanly, down to the decimal.
The catch
The question you actually have isn't on it.
The person who knows
Where the real figure lives, and every caveat that comes with it.
The catch
They're in a meeting. The decision isn't waiting.
Answers arrive too late.So the meeting argues about the number instead of making the call. And the call that does get made is made on whichever figure was loudest.
Just ask

One question. The answer, and its receipts.

Ask in plain words. Beacon answers from the same figures the whole company runs on, shows you the definition, the source, how fresh it is and how sure it is, then takes the follow-up.

What's our net revenue retention this quarter, and is it moving?

Which segment is dragging it?
Mid-market, at 97%. Enterprise is 121% and SMB 104%. Mid-market downgrades cluster at the 14-month mark, right after the first renewal.

Illustrative. The same thread anyone can open, on any number.

Wherever the question comes up

You don't go to Beacon. It's already where you're working.

Nobody opens a second tool to check a number mid-thread. So the answer comes to the thread.

Day one

Your first conversation with Beacon is the setup.

There's no blank page and no configuration project. Beacon arrives as a running model of a recurring-revenue company, and Ask Beacon walks you through the handful of things that are true about yours.

Answer in plain language and the setup follows. Where you're not sure, it explains what the setting means and what it has assumed in the meantime.

Do most of your contracts renew automatically, or does someone have to re-sign?
Auto-renewRe-signedBoth, by plan

Got it. Renewals are auto-unless-cancelled, so I'll read a cancellation as the churn date, not the term end.Renewal model · set

Illustrative. No code, no analysts, no week of the CFO's month.

Ask it anything

An answer you'd put in front of the board.

What you get, and how it's held — read across, one line each.

What you get
How it's held
An answer in seconds, not a thread and two follow-ups
Reads sealed figures only. It can't write to your systems.
The same number everyone else gets
One published definition per metric, company-wide.
Enough to quote it without checking first
Source, freshness and confidence on every answer.
Everyone can ask, all day
Answered inside each person's access. Nothing leaks.
No invented numbers, ever
Computed exactly. Ask twice, get the same answer twice.
Same assistant, deeper

For the everyday. And for the calls that decide the year.

Ask Beacon is one assistant, not two. Most days it answers the question in front of you. When you're steering the whole company — how hard to push, when to open a round, where you break first — the same assistant goes to full depth and reasons the decision through with you.
