Most CPG teams can see that market share moved, but not why—because they rely on slow, manual “share analysis” that stops at charts instead of diagnosis. The blog explains how proper market share decomposition should break a change into concrete drivers (distribution, velocity, price/mix, and competitive moves) at retailer, region, and segment level, instead of confusing simple correlations or national averages with true attribution. It shows how AI automates the hard parts—data integration, baseline modeling, and competitive tracking—so brand managers can ask “Why did share drop at Kroger last month?” and instantly see quantified drivers and recommended actions. With this always-on decomposition, teams move from week-long investigations and stale insights to fast, retailer-specific decisions that actually recover and grow share.

AI-powered narrative generation turns variance analysis into board-ready CFO commentary in seconds instead of days. The blog shows how agentic analytics monitors performance continuously, decomposes variances, and auto-writes tailored summaries for executives, business partners, and the board—while keeping every sentence traceable to source data. Finance leaders still own the judgment and messaging, but they reclaim close-week time by automating the repetitive “what happened and why” part of reporting.

Many AI-analytics demos promise magic: impressive visuals, slick dashboards, and smooth interactions. But in real business settings, those polished demos often break down. This post pulls back the curtain and explains what it really takes to make AI analytics work at enterprise scale. You'll learn about: Building agentic architecture that supports complex queries and multi-step insights Ensuring reliability with intent parsing, root cause detection, and strong validation layers Managing data quality, security, and governance so insights can be trusted Scaling models, visualizations, and workflows to support thousands of users and billions of rows of data If you're evaluating AI analytics tools or planning your own build, this is your guide to separating real capabilities from toy demos and focusing on what drives measurable performance.

The 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant is out—but the real story goes beyond the dots. Discover what it reveals (and misses) about the future of AI analytics and why Tellius is built for what’s next: agentic intelligence, faster answers, and smarter decisions.

Business teams don't suffer from a lack of data. They suffer from a lack of time, clarity, and execution. Dashboards indicate what happened. Some tools even explain why. But few platforms help you decide what to do and then do it faster than your competition. That's the promise of augmented analytics. With agentic flows, natural language interfaces, and AI-driven automation integrated at every stage, that promise is now a reality.

TLDR: agents on the rise, conversational everything, governance & data quality = king, driving/demonstrating ROI, the power of people never gets old.
