The method is the same everywhere. What changes is which numbers explain the business — and that is set per sector, in configuration, not rewritten per client.

Growth hides problems. It also creates them faster than the reporting can describe them.
Sector metrics, trade abbreviations, input categories and thresholds are declared in configuration files, not written into the product per client. Adding a sector is a configuration change, which is why the analysis of a new industry does not restart from zero.
The list reflects where the analysis is strongest today, not where it is possible. Tell us about the business and we will say plainly whether we can help.
