AI Analyst — Early Access
Launched the Crux AI Analyst, a Slack-native assistant that answers natural language questions about your store data and delivers automated daily and weekly performance reports directly in your Slack workspace.Ask questions in plain English. The analyst translates your questions into BigQuery SQL, runs them against your data warehouse, and returns a clear, formatted answer. No dashboards to navigate, no exports to pull, no waiting for a report.Example questions it can answer:- “What were our top 5 products by revenue last month?”
- “How did new customer acquisition change week on week?”
- “Which channel had the highest AOV in March?”
- “What’s our discount rate trend over the last 8 weeks?”
- Total and new vs. repeat revenue
- Order volume and AOV (overall, new, and repeat)
- New user and session volume
- Discount rate, with week-on-week comparisons throughout
- Revenue, orders, AOV and new customer mix for the full week vs. prior week
- Product category revenue breakdown
- Discount rate trends
Multi-Touch Attribution Framework
Launched a full GA4 raw events attribution pipeline that combines five data sources into a single waterfall, recovering orders that standard UTM tracking misses entirely. Read the full attribution overview and how it works.How it works:- GA4 raw events are synced directly into BigQuery, bypassing GA4’s interface sampling. First-click attribution is identified across the full purchase cycle, with no time-bound cutoff for long purchase windows.
- Discount codes mapped to channels, campaigns and ad groups via a Google Sheet you control, correctly attributing influencer, referral, affiliate and offline-driven orders.
- Shopify customer journey provides a fallback using Shopify’s independent last non-direct touchpoint tracking.
- Post-purchase surveys (Fairing, Kno, Triple Whale) capture offline touchpoints such as word of mouth, podcast mentions and TV ads.
- Order note attributes from affiliate and influencer platforms (Awin, Social Snowball, Saral, Superfiliate) serve as the final recovery layer.
Meta Ad Fatigue Monitoring
Added a new health metric for detecting creative fatigue across Meta ad accounts, using survival curve analysis combined with Little’s Law replacement rate modelling.- Ad fatigue status consolidated per ad, flagging ads approaching or past their performance shelf-life
- Healthy ad gap metric added to the Business Health dashboard, showing how many new ads are needed to maintain current performance levels
- Daily new ads and ad winners tracked to surface whether your creative pipeline is keeping pace with fatigue rates
- Low-efficiency threshold applied to separate ads that have faded from those that never performed
Repurchase Rate
Added repurchase rate to the retention metrics suite, tracking the share of customers who return for a second purchase within a defined window. Available across the LTV & Retention dashboard and customer profile models.Budget Optimiser
New strategic planning tool that uses historical performance data to model how each marketing channel responds to spend changes, helping you evaluate allocation trade-offs before committing budget.Key capabilities:- Elasticity modelling calculates each channel’s scaling responsiveness using logarithmic regression on your full historical data
- Performance scoring weights elasticity, recent aMER, CM2 margin, and spend history to rank channels for growth budget allocation
- Demand capture vs demand generation split treats Brand Search and Affiliate as fixed costs, directing growth budget only toward scalable channels
- Confidence-based guardrails apply ±20% swing limits for high/medium confidence channels, and ±10% for low confidence, preventing radical reallocation from statistical noise
- Saturation detection applies dynamic elasticity decay when projected spend exceeds historical maximums
- Seasonal adjustments apply monthly indices so forecasts reflect your historical revenue patterns across the year
- Multiple budget scenarios generated at £25K intervals, allowing side-by-side comparison of allocation across spend levels
Customer Profile & Sales Reporting Enhancements
- Last order attributes added to customer profiles, including channel, product, and discount code from each customer’s most recent purchase
- Total, new and repeat sales definitions standardised across all reporting models, allowing consistent segmentation of revenue by customer type
- Active customer definition aligned across the platform for consistent cohort and retention reporting
