Shopify analytics · closed alpha

You don't sell t-shirts. You sell the t-shirt that brings someone back for the jeans.

Shopify analytics for brands doing £1M–£10M GMV, built around one question: which products bring customers in, and which bring them back.

01 · The t-shirt problem

Why most analytics mislead

A streetwear brand sells graphic t-shirts. AOV £35, margin thin, acquisition cost £30. Every dashboard on the market says: t-shirts are a loser. Six months later, 22% of those t-shirt buyers come back for jeans. AOV £180, margin healthy.

Single-purchase lens

−£17

Per tee. What every other analytics tool sees.

6-month full-cycle lens

+£140

Per tee. What actually happens once the customer is in.

Same product. Same data. Different question. The brand has been judging the front door by the doorbell.

02 · What throughflow ships

Two scores on every product

We re-rank your catalogue by the questions the others don't ask. Every product gets a Gateway score and a Repeat-driver score, attached to every report and drill-down.

SKU · TEE-001

Logo Tee — Crew

Apparel · Basics

Gateway score

82

How often it brings a new customer in, and what they go on to spend across other categories.

Repeat-driver score

41

When an existing customer comes back, how often this is the product that brings them.

03 · The backbone

Plus the unglamorous things every analytics product should already do.

True CAC:LTV

Cohort + RFM + payback, with returns and COGS factored in. Not a single-purchase fantasy.

Blended marketing efficiency

MER, blended nCAC, daily spend by platform, day-of-week and seasonal pattern. Needs no pixel.

Platform reconciliation

A named gap between what Meta and Google each claim and what your store actually did.

04 · Where we sit

Not the cheaper one. The deeper one.

Lifetimely — with the product layer.

Triple Whale — without the attribution-tax pricing.

Northbeam — for people who don't have a data team.
