Why this helps
Market profiles become stale while founders focus on operating the business and forget to revisit the underlying data.
- Revisit a defined area on a consistent schedule.
- Keep the requested characteristics together in recurring reports.
- See changes across runs when prior results are available.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agenty and Census bureau once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in plain language or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis which geography and ACS 5-year characteristics to refresh, and how to summarize new results against prior reports if available.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real geography and confirm the chosen schedule and measures.
