Last Updated: January 19, 2025 | View Changelog

Accessing Analytics

Navigate to Sponsorships → Analytics from the sidebar to access sponsorship analytics and performance tracking.
Plan Required: Enterprise plan Permission Required: Analytics permission or Admin access

Current Status

Under Development: The full analytics dashboard is coming soon with automated reporting, real-time metrics, and custom KPIs.

What to Use Instead

While we build the analytics dashboard, here’s how to track sponsorship performance today: 1. Export Reports from Valuations
  • Navigate to Valuations → Reports
  • Compare multiple valuations to identify trends over time
  • Export comparison data as PDF or CSV for analysis
  • Use AI Key Insights for automated trend detection
  • View Reports Guide →
2. Track Proposals Manually
  • Use Sponsorships → Proposals to monitor package status
  • Filter by status: Draft, Sent, Approved, Rejected
  • Export proposal list to CSV for external analysis
  • Calculate acceptance rates manually in Excel/Google Sheets
  • View Proposals Guide →
3. Use API for Custom Analytics
  • Create read-only API key with GET permissions
  • Pull valuation and sponsorship data programmatically
  • Build custom dashboards in Power BI, Tableau, or Excel
  • Schedule automated data exports with cron jobs
  • View API Documentation →
4. Weekly Manual Review Routine Set up a consistent review process:
  • Monday: Check sponsor statuses and new responses
  • Wednesday: Review proposal performance (sent vs. approved)
  • Friday: Track new sponsor additions and package updates
  • Monthly: Export all data and calculate key metrics
Pro Tip: Set up a weekly API export to automatically pull valuation and sponsorship data into a Google Sheet or Excel file. Use formulas to calculate basic metrics like acceptance rate, average package value, and revenue trends. This gives you interim analytics until the full dashboard launches.

Temporary Metrics You Can Track

Manual calculations to perform:
  • Acceptance Rate: (Approved Proposals / Sent Proposals) * 100
  • Average Package Value: Total Revenue / Number of Packages
  • Sponsor Growth: New Sponsors This Month vs. Last Month
  • Proposal Velocity: Days from Sent to Response

Empty State (When Accessing Analytics Page)

If you access Analytics now, you’ll see:
  • Icon: Chart pie graphic
  • Title: “No sponsorship data yet”
  • Message: “Add sponsors and packages to see revenue analytics.”
  • Action: “Go to Sponsorships” button
This will be replaced with the full analytics dashboard in a future release.
