Activity vs. Outcome
When you measure activity, you get activity. If you reward "tickets closed," people close tickets—even if the problem isn't solved. The dashboard looks green, but the business bleeds value.
In the oil fields of Baku, the Nobel family turned a chaotic economy into one that actually paid: disciplined production, real refining, and less waste. The raw source stayed the same. The yield changed.
Your data is the raw source. Ghost Observatory is the refinery. A Python library with a high-performance C++ kernel, it applies LEAN and Six Sigma principles to turn exports into a working view of value, leakage, and unprofitable behavior.
Powered by Polars. Ready for Power BI. No cloud upload required. Just high-performance analysis that runs on your metal.
The gap between executive strategy and operational reality is where value disappears. Standard targets don't just distort reporting—they distort economics.
When you measure activity, you get activity. If you reward "tickets closed," people close tickets—even if the problem isn't solved. The dashboard looks green, but the business bleeds value.
If beating the plan makes the next plan harsher, teams learn to hide capacity. Performance stays just "safe enough" to avoid scrutiny, hiding the true flow potential.
Most platforms are bloated and opaque. Ghost Observatory is a precision toolkit. It includes 500+ modular metrics you can toggle to fit your reality.
Translate activity into outcomes. Measure yield density and value per segment. Stop measuring "work done" and start measuring "value delivered."
See constraints, queues, and bottlenecks directly. Detect flow breakdowns and "end-loading" behaviors where teams rush to meet quotas at the deadline.
Stress-test assumptions locally. Run Monte Carlo envelopes and shock scenarios to see what happens if capacity drops or demand spikes—before it happens.
Communication is 90% of the battle. Exports land cleanly in CSV, Parquet, or JSON, ready for Power BI or your BI tool of choice. No new dashboard to learn.
Built for those who need speed, privacy, and flexibility.
The core is a C++ library capable of analyzing everything from time studies to revenue forecasting. This architecture delivers processing speeds 80-100 times faster than pure Python solutions.
Need to run client-side? Ghost Observatory compiles to WebAssembly (WASM). Run the full analytical engine directly in a browser, on a secure tablet, or in offline environments.
We provide the clean, structured data layer your own models need. Integrate easily with in-house AI or external ML models to drive forecasting and optimization.
We do not outsource to low-cost centers. All Ghost Citadel engineers are based in the United Kingdom or the European Union. We hire strictly from top-tier institutions like Linköping University, Oxford, and SUNY.
We do not offer a SaaS solution. We believe you should control your data, not rent it back from a vendor. Our library runs entirely on your infrastructure. It does not "phone home." You hold the keys.
Information follows the customer. Unlike platforms that trap your data behind consulting contracts or proprietary interfaces, we provide a library that runs on your infrastructure.
You can use the library yourself, or engage us to build the observatory for you.
Free for commercial use with attribution.
Ideal for teams with Python capability.
pip install ghostcitadel
