About the Platform

The HindSight is 20/10 Platform


DIY, on your terms

The HindSight is 20/10 platform is a self-serve benchmarking service. You choose the peer group, the fiscal year and the metric set; we do the heavy lifting — sourcing the data, running the comparison and producing the report.

Get-it-done service

For teams that prefer a hand-held service, our analysts will build the peer group, validate inputs and walk through the results. Same data, same report — different level of help.

Why "20/10"?

Optometrists call 20/20 normal vision. 20/10 is twice as sharp — you can see at twenty feet what most people can only see at ten. Pair that with the wisdom of hindsight, and you get the brand: clearer vision, applied backwards through last year's numbers, to make better decisions next year.

"What you cannot measure, you cannot improve. What you cannot benchmark, you cannot prioritise."
What is Benchmarking?

Three dimensions. One discipline.


"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles."

— Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Benchmarking is the disciplined comparison of your operations against a chosen peer group. Done well, it surfaces where you over-spend, where you over-staff, and where you turn cash slower than the market. Done poorly, it produces a chart nobody acts on.

Process Quality

How well a function delivers — error rates, rework, control gaps.

Cycle Time

How fast — close-cycle days, payment-cycle days, days-sales-outstanding.

Cost

What it consumes — total functional cost, labour cost, FTE counts. People-cost typically drives ~60% of departmental functional cost.
