Approve the plan

Get the report
CSV, Excel, or PDF. Download it, or save it as a template that re-runs on a schedule and emails itself.

Conversational authoring
No SQL. No column-pickers. The clarifying question, one at a time.
Plan-before-run audit
A plain-English plan precedes every run. Approve, or request changes.

FROM THE FIELD
A day back, a year back.
"What used to take our analyst a full day every quarter now takes me thirty seconds during board-meeting prep."
— Curriculum Director
"The audit trail alone is worth it. I can show our school committee exactly what was queried for every report this quarter."
— Technology Director
"Upstart doesn’t replace our analysts — it gives them their year back."
— Superintendent
