“Which categories explain the change in comparable sales?”
Fundle Brain
01
Frame the management question
Choose the period, property scope and decision. Specify whether the focus is trading, tenant performance, visitor engagement or media.
02
Check comparable evidence
Confirm completeness, definitions and the availability of each input. Separate facts from assumptions and missing information.
03
Explain the movement
Break the headline into category, tenant, period and reporting effects. Add visitor or campaign context only where a reliable source supports it.
04
Prepare the management brief
Summarise what changed, likely drivers, unresolved questions and next actions. Carry the selected scope into any follow-up report.
BUILT AROUND THE WORK
Bring the mall’s commercial questions into one review.
Sales, reporting coverage, tenant mix, visitor activity and campaigns each describe a different part of the mall. The intelligence workflow connects the available evidence around a management question and makes the boundaries of the comparison clear.
01
A dependable trading base
Begin with validated tenant sales and reporting completeness. Keep late or missing submissions visible in the same review as headline performance.
02
Category and tenant context
Compare the relevant categories and tenant sets. Explain the effects of openings, closures, area changes and different trading calendars.
03
Visitor and campaign context
Bring footfall, event participation or campaign response into the analysis where the data exists. Align time windows and avoid implying that correlation establishes campaign impact.
04
Management-ready priorities
Translate the analysis into a short list of investigations or operating actions. Identify the responsible team and the evidence needed to resolve each question.
THE OPERATING FLOW
From the first question to the next useful action.
A strong trading day can hide a weak category and several missing submissions. A useful brief surfaces all three and makes the follow-up clear.

BRING YOUR BUSINESS QUESTION
Give Fundle Brain something useful to work on.
Start with the question. Define the data and workflow needed to answer it.
↗Which categories explain the change in comparable sales?
↗Did event participation coincide with a broader tenant benefit?
↗Which apparent performance issues are actually reporting gaps?
CONNECT
Start with the right data.
Validated tenant sales, reporting status, campaign records and agreed operating data.
PUT IT TO WORK
Leave with a useful output.
Management brief, tenant or category questions and prioritised action list.
Keep sales growth, trading density, reporting completeness and visitor measures distinct. Use consistent definitions and periods; explain when a source does not support a causal conclusion.
GOOD QUESTIONS
Before we get started.
Can multiple properties be compared?
Yes, where the data scope supports it. Align category, period, area and reporting definitions before using cross-property benchmarks.
Can sales and footfall be analysed together?
Yes, where both datasets are available with compatible periods and property coverage. Confirm the counting method and avoid treating every counted visit as a unique shopper.
Can this support a mall portfolio?
A portfolio view requires aligned property, tenant, area and reporting definitions. Preserve local context while using common measures for comparisons.
