Step map
Instead of relying on a single generic AI model, this pipeline connects specialized tools to maximize quality. First, you'll use Tellius to a clean, connected dataset ready for exploration and analysis. Then, you pass the output to Tellius to a set of relevant visualizations and data slices that highlight key patterns and potential anomalies. Then, you pass the output to Tellius to a prioritized list of anomalies with contextual explanations, ready for deeper investigation. Then, you pass the output to Tellius to clear identification of the key drivers behind the anomaly, with quantified impact percentages. Then, you pass the output to Tellius to a ready-to-share narrative insight that explains what happened, why, and what to do next. Finally, Tellius is used to insights are distributed to decision-makers and ongoing monitoring is automated.

Connect Tellius to your data warehouse, data lake, or upload flat files. Ensure data is properly formatted, with clear column names and data types. Perform basic data profiling to identify missing values or inconsistencies.
Why Tellius: Tellius is the only tool in the menu that explicitly offers 'Data Connection & Profiling' capabilities as part of its platform, directly matching the step's requirement.
Use Tellius Ask Data to pose business questions in plain English (e.g., 'Show monthly sales trend by region'). Review automatically generated visualizations and refine queries to uncover patterns or outliers.
Why Tellius: Tellius offers 'Conversational Querying' which directly corresponds to the 'Ask Data (NLQ)' need for natural language data exploration.
Activate Tellius Smart Insights to automatically scan the dataset for statistically significant anomalies (spikes, dips, trend changes). Review the flagged anomalies and prioritize those with high business impact.
Why Tellius: Tellius includes 'Automated Data Insights' with anomaly detection as a core feature, directly matching the step's need for automated anomaly detection.
Select a specific anomaly and use Tellius Root Cause Analysis to automatically identify contributing factors. The AI will test combinations of dimensions (e.g., product, region, channel) and rank them by impact.
Why Tellius: Tellius explicitly offers 'Root Cause Analysis' as a named capability, directly matching the step's requirement.
Use Tellius Narrative Insights to automatically generate plain-language summaries of findings, including anomaly descriptions, root causes, and recommended actions. Customize the narrative tone and length for your audience.
Why Tellius: Tellius provides 'Automated Data Insights' which includes narrative generation for summarizing findings, directly matching the step's need for narrative insights.
Export the narrative and supporting visualizations as a PDF, dashboard, or shareable link. Schedule automated delivery to stakeholders via email or Slack. Set up alerts for future anomalies.
Why Tellius: Tellius includes sharing and alerting capabilities as part of its platform, directly supporting the step's need for sharing insights and collaboration.
§ Before you start
Teams or solo builders working on data & analytics tasks who want a repeatable process instead of one-off tool experiments.
No. Start with the top pick for each step, then replace tools only if they do not fit your pricing, compliance, or output needs.
Open the mapped task page and compare top options side by side. Prioritize output quality, integration fit, and predictable cost before scaling.
