For founders & operators

The whole business, before coffee.

You don't have a chief of staff. You don't have an FP&A team. You have warehouse data, a calendar full of decisions, and a head full of unanswered questions. Arcus is the operator-grade answer layer for founder-led teams that want every number reviewed, cited, and tied back to source data.

Example brief · Warehouse-backed

Good morning, operator.

Three movements to review, two decisions to consider, one source trail to inspect before acting.

02 · Worth your attention

The win-back flow is outperforming forecast — based on warehouse-loaded lifecycle data, Arcus can show the source rows and assumptions before you scale the play. Open thread flow →

03 · Something to think about

Your highest-value customer cohort can be tracked against renewal, engagement, and support signals when those fields are available in the warehouse. See data setup →

04 · Quietly: one risk

Inventory burn-rate on SKU-238 can be flagged when SKU, order, and lead-time fields are available in your warehouse.

Guided pilot

Launch scope is reviewed with the Arcus team so data access, semantic definitions, and success criteria are clear.

Warehouse-first setup

Arcus starts with BigQuery, Snowflake, or Postgres and uses connected source coverage to shape the first answer.

Private by default

Your data isn't training anyone's model. Period. Tenant-isolated, encrypted in transit and at rest, audit-trailed.

Complements your stack

Arcus focuses on executive questions and answer artifacts, not replacing every BI, finance, or operating tool on day one.

The questions founders keep coming back to.

Decision log

Every decision, traceable.

Founder mode: important Arcus answers can become decision records. Six months from now, when someone asks why a budget, hiring, or growth call changed, the thread, source data, and reasoning can sit together.

  • Captured when approved. Important answers can be promoted into a durable record.
  • Searchable by context. Threads preserve the question, the assumptions, and the data used.
  • Reviewable handoff. New leaders get the why, not just the what.

customers
Arcus is designed for founder-led teams that need the morning brief, the metric trail, and the next question in one place. Public founder testimonials are not approved yet, so this section describes the intended workflow instead of quoting a customer.
