Ongoing support

Fractional BI support for teams that need senior help.

Borrowed BI provides fractional BI support for teams that need ongoing help with dashboards, reporting workflows, data cleanup, documentation, and practical analytics decisions without hiring full-time.

What’s included

Practical BI support that fits your team.

For teams that need experienced BI help every month, but do not need or cannot justify a full-time senior data hire yet.

Reporting and dashboard support

Improve existing reports, clean up dashboards, troubleshoot issues, and make outputs easier to trust.

Metric and KPI cleanup

Clarify definitions, reduce conflicting numbers, and document the logic behind key metrics.

Automation and workflow help

Reduce manual reporting work and improve recurring refresh processes over time.

Data source guidance

Map messy sources, recommend cleaner structures, and identify where data quality issues are coming from.

Documentation and handoff

Create runbooks, metric notes, refresh instructions, and plain-English documentation your team can use.

Stakeholder support

Help translate business questions into reporting priorities, data checks, and practical next steps.

Is ongoing support the right fit?

Best for recurring BI needs, not a one-time fix.

Fractional BI Support provides retained senior help across changing reporting priorities each month.

A typical month may include

  • Validating a KPI issue.
  • Repairing a refresh or dashboard problem.
  • Improving a recurring report.
  • Documenting updated logic.
  • Helping prioritize the next BI task.

Good fit when

  • You need BI help every month, not just once.
  • Priorities change across dashboards, metrics, automation, and data questions.
  • You want continuity without hiring a full-time employee.

Probably not a fit when

  • You need one clearly defined project.
  • You need all-day embedded availability.
  • The request is emergency or on-call support.
  • The work is undefined staff augmentation.

Common questions

Fractional BI Support FAQs

Clear answers for teams deciding whether this is the right kind of BI help.

What is fractional BI support?

Fractional BI support gives your team access to senior business intelligence help on a part-time or ongoing basis. It is useful when you need better reporting, dashboard support, data cleanup, or analytics guidance but do not need a full-time BI hire yet.

How is fractional BI different from hiring a full-time BI developer?

A full-time BI developer is usually best when you have enough steady work for a permanent role. Fractional BI is better when your team needs senior help for a defined number of hours, a monthly support package, or focused reporting priorities.

What can Borrowed BI help with each month?

Borrowed BI can help improve dashboards, answer stakeholder reporting questions, document metrics, troubleshoot data issues, automate recurring reports, and prioritize what should be fixed first.

Do you work with nonprofits and mission-driven teams?

Yes. Borrowed BI is a strong fit for nonprofits, mission-driven organizations, and small teams that need clearer reporting without building a full internal data team.

Can fractional BI support work with our existing tools?

Yes. The work can start with your current dashboards, spreadsheets, databases, reporting exports, and business definitions. The goal is to improve what you already have before adding unnecessary complexity.
