Alisira OÜ Publishes Findings on Why Most Marketing Dashboards Miss the Metrics That Matter

Published

on

Alisira OÜ has published a set of findings examining why so many marketing dashboards continue to fail to surface the numbers that actually shape decisions. The review looks at the gap between the volume of data modern platforms can collect and the amount that actually gets used when a marketing team sits down to figure out what is supposed to happen next.

TALLINN, Estonia, July 25, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — A Widening Gap Between Data Collection and Decision-Making

What there is often a shortage of, according to Alisira, is a dashboard that actually connects the numbers it displays to a decision someone in the room is genuinely trying to make. That distinction is where most measurement setups tend to fall apart quietly. A dashboard can be full of activity metrics, things like impressions, click volume, and session counts, without ever getting around to answering the question a budget owner is really asking. That question is usually some version of whether a given effort is working and whether more resources should be put behind it. Engagement is easy to display. Revenue contribution by channel takes more work to calculate correctly, particularly once multiple touchpoints and delayed purchases are involved, so it is the piece that tends to be most often left out of the weekly report. However, it is also the piece that leadership actually cares about when the conversation turns serious.

Where Standard Dashboards Fall Short

Alisira’s review identifies several categories of metrics that tend to be underrepresented on standard marketing dashboards, even in cases where the underlying data would in principle be accessible:

Cross-channel attribution, as opposed to last-click or single-platform creditCustomer lifetime value by acquisition source, rather than only first-purchase conversion ratesTime-to-conversion, which is frequently collapsed into a single count with no indication of the lag that is actually involvedAssisted conversions, where a channel contributed to a sale without being the final touchpointCohort-based retention figures, in place of a single blended retention % that has a tendency to hide which groups are actually staying and which are quietly leaving

Part of the difficulty is traceable back to how fragmented most measurement setups tend to be in the first place. Only 32% of marketers globally measure their media spending across both digital and traditional channels, according to Nielsen, which leaves the majority of teams working from a partial view before the dashboard-design questions have even come into play. Alisira’s findings suggest this is less a tooling problem than it is a structural one. What most organizations lack, more often than not, is a single point in the workflow where channel-level data is reconciled before it reaches a decision-maker in a usable form.

Alisira OÜ frames these findings as part of a broader shift away from dashboards built to display everything a platform can track, toward dashboards built around a smaller, more deliberate set of numbers tied to what a team actually decides to do next. The company plans to continue publishing analysis on measurement practices and marketing reporting in the months ahead.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

Published

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
