Summary to Detail Analytic Relationships
A dashboard-format reference map showing, for each summary analytic, where its detailed donor-level companion lives, so you can drill from a summary straight to the underlying names.
How to use the Summary to Detail Analytic Relationships
This is a dashboard-format reference tool rather than a data analytic. Its purpose is to answer a very practical question: when a summary analysis tells you something interesting, where is the detailed, donor-level list that goes with it?
The dashboard lays out a From (Summary) to To (Detail) map, with a short description of each relationship. For example, it points you from Attrition Warning Summary to Attrition Warning Detail, from Segment Graduation Rates to the Upgrade/Downgrade Patterns and Middle-to-Top Pathway detail, from the Giving Pyramid summary to the donor-level Pyramid Detail, and from Top 100 Concentration to the year-over-year comparison, among many others. In effect it is a navigation guide across the analytics library, keyed by the segmentation break points reference (QX172).
The strategic value is efficiency and adoption. A large analytics library is only useful if people can move from a high-level finding to the specific donors behind it, and this map removes the guesswork about which detailed analysis pairs with which summary.
You should keep this handy whenever you are working the analytics: start from the summary that flags an issue, then use the map to jump straight to the matching detail list to act on it. It is especially useful for onboarding new staff to how the analytics fit together.
Because it is a reference aid, judge its value by how quickly your team can get from a summary insight to an actionable donor list, and keep it updated as new analytics are added.
