How the investment compares
The question is not whether you can afford a strategic service. It is whether you can afford to keep spending 10+ hours a month turning data into slides — or $100k+ a year on a hire who might leave.
In-house data analyst
$8,000–$12,000/mo
Salary + benefits + management overhead. Takes 3–6 months to hire. Single point of failure if they leave. The Thinking Engine can complement an in-house analyst or replace the need for one.
The Thinking Engine (Scale)
$5,000/mo
AI-powered analysis + senior growth operator. Cherrypicks the insights that matter, delivers a finished deck with options. Starts in 2 weeks. Knowledge compounds.
Agency reporting
Included in retainer
Agencies report on their own performance — data often just regurgitated. The Thinking Engine works alongside your agency as an independent strategic layer.
SaaS dashboards
$100–$1,000/mo
Shows you data. Does not tell you what it means or what to do. Many clients use attribution tools alongside The Thinking Engine — the tools provide data, we provide the strategy.
