Features

Everything you need to automate your Weekly Business Review.

From data collection to owner accountability to a complete brief — MetricOwl handles the process so you can focus on the discussion.

Automatic Metric Collection

Connect Google Sheets, dashboard URLs, or data warehouses. MetricOwl reads your metrics on schedule — no manual data entry, no copy-paste.

Google Sheets sync with auto-detection of metric columns

Manual entry option for metrics without a digital source

Historical tracking with week-over-week comparison

Change Detection

MetricOwl flags metrics that moved beyond your configured threshold. Set different tolerances per metric — 5% for revenue, 10% for engagement.

Configurable change thresholds per metric

Detects movement away from target (not just percentage change)

Anomaly detection for null values, stale data, and extreme swings

Guardian alerts for data quality issues

Data in the Loop

When data looks wrong — null values, stale numbers, or swings beyond 50% — MetricOwl escalates to the guardian (your data team), not just the metric owner. Separate the "why did this change?" from the "is this data even right?"

Guardian role: assign a data person per metric, separate from the business owner

Automatic anomaly detection: null values, stale data, extreme swings (>50%)

Escalation to guardian for data quality issues, to owner for business context

Data quality score per metric — track reliability over time

Governance without bureaucracy — the right person answers the right question

Owner Nudging

When a metric changes, MetricOwl DMs the owner on Slack with pre-filled context. They explain with one click — no typing required.

Automatic reminders for non-responders

Escalation to manager if no response after deadline
