Most teams still rely on spreadsheets for their most important metrics.
But spreadsheets don t warn you when something looks off.
You only notice issues after they ve caused damage.

I wanted a simple way to upload a file and instantly see:

But real systems don t behave in straight lines. Traffic spikes, seasonality shifts, and user behaviour changes every hour.

Instead of looking at a single row of data, we evaluate patterns over time using rolling windows (P50, P90, P95, P99, StdDev, Rate/sec). This reduces false positives and surfaces anomalies that actually matter.

Here s what window based alerting unlocks:

How do you get alerts from Excel without using a BI tool?

If your KPIs live in Excel or Google Sheets, how do you get automatic alerts?

Right now most options are:

  • Manual checking
