Joey Carbajo Olivari
Business Analyst · Process Improvement · Data & AI
I built this project to show how I think through messy business questions, real data, stakeholder needs, and dashboard design. My background is in reporting, process improvement, data quality, and working with stakeholders to turn unclear requirements into something useful.
Business Analysis
Process Improvement
Data Quality
Stakeholder Management
◆ WHY I BUILT THIS
I wanted this to feel less like a static dashboard and more like a decision-making tool. Something that answers real questions — not just displays numbers.
"If a stakeholder walked in and asked 'where is the AI market going and what does it mean for us?' — could they find the answer here in under two minutes?"
That question shaped every section: the data I chose, the charts I built, the simulator, the schema design. The goal was always clarity over complexity.
About Me
My experience is in business analysis, reporting, and process improvement — not software engineering. I work at the point where data, process, and people overlap. That means understanding what a stakeholder actually needs, translating that into a measurable requirement, and making sure the output is something they can actually use.
I have hands-on experience with data quality, reconciliation, and pipeline design — the less glamorous parts of analytics that determine whether your numbers are trustworthy. I also spend a lot of time on stakeholder communication: helping people understand what the data is saying, and what it isn't.
This project is my way of demonstrating that work in a context that matters right now. The AI industry is moving fast — and someone has to be responsible for making sense of it in a way that's grounded, honest, and actually useful to the people making decisions.
What I Actually Did Here
Data Research & Quality
I sourced data from real publications — Stanford HAI, Epoch AI, Grand View Research, company disclosures. Then I checked it, reconciled it across sources, and tagged confidence levels. The data dictionary documents every field so anyone can follow the trail.
Structure & Design
I designed the data model using a star schema — the standard way to structure data for dashboards. I also mapped out the ETL pipeline, the stakeholder scenarios, and the KPIs before writing a single line of chart code. Structure first, visuals second.
Stakeholder Thinking
Every section was built around a question a real person might ask — a CEO, a CFO, an analyst, a board member. The Stakeholder Simulator section makes this explicit. I think good analysis starts with knowing who needs it and why.
◆ HOW THIS PROJECT CREATES BUSINESS VALUE
This project demonstrates the ability to translate a stakeholder request into a measurable business goal, identify the right KPIs, reconcile conflicting data sources, design an analytical data model, build an executive-level dashboard, interpret trends and variances, and produce a recommendation — not just a visualization. Every dashboard here separates factual, disclosed results from estimates and assumptions, and communicates technical work in plain English.

◆ MY CONTRIBUTION
I designed and developed this project as an end-to-end AI market intelligence and business analytics demonstration. I translated stakeholder scenarios into analytical requirements, structured multiple datasets, designed the KPI calculation logic, built a dimensional (star schema) model, created interactive visualizations, and connected every output back to a business decision — the Executive Decision Brief, the Opportunity Matrix, and the Risk & Watchlist panel exist because a dashboard without a "so what" isn't finished.
To be clear: I did not work for Anthropic, OpenAI, NVIDIA, Microsoft, or any of the other companies referenced here. This is an independent analytical portfolio project built on publicly reported figures, clearly tagged by confidence level and value type (actual / estimated / forecast / illustrative).

📋 Business Analysis Terms
KPIKey Performance Indicator
The scorecard number that tells you whether something is working. If your KPI is moving in the right direction, you're on track. If it's not, something needs to change.
StakeholderWho needs the answer
The person or team who has a stake in the outcome — they could be the decision-maker, the one affected by the decision, or both. Good analysis always starts by identifying who the stakeholder is and what they actually need.
DashboardWhat you're looking at right now
A visual page that turns data into decisions. Instead of reading a spreadsheet full of numbers, you see charts, KPIs, and trends that let you understand what's happening — and act on it — quickly.
ForecastAn educated estimate
An educated estimate about what may happen next, based on patterns in past data. A forecast is not a guarantee — it's a structured way of saying "if current trends continue, here's where we'll likely end up."
💰 Data & Finance Terms
ARRAnnual Recurring Revenue
How much recurring revenue a company makes per year — the money that comes in reliably on a subscription or contract basis. It's a key number for understanding the financial health of a software or AI company.
CAGRCompound Annual Growth Rate
The average growth rate over time, compounded year over year. If a market had a 35% CAGR over five years, it didn't necessarily grow exactly 35% each year — but on average, that's the pace. It smooths out the bumps.
Confidence LevelHow much to trust a number
How much trust we should place in a number or source. A directly disclosed company figure has high confidence. An analyst estimate for 2034 has much lower confidence — both can be useful, but you should know the difference.
ReconciliationMaking the numbers match
Comparing numbers from different sources to make sure they line up. When two reports say different things about the same company, reconciliation is the process of figuring out why — and deciding which number to use and why.
⚙️ Data & Engineering Terms
Data PipelineThe journey data takes
The path data takes from its raw source all the way to a clean, usable dashboard. Think of it like a water pipe — data flows in dirty at one end and comes out clean and structured at the other.
ETLExtract · Transform · Load
The three steps of getting data ready: collect it from the source (Extract), clean and reshape it (Transform), then put it where it needs to go (Load). Most of the real work in analytics happens in the Transform step.
Source SystemWhere data originally comes from
Where the data originally lives before it enters a pipeline. In this project, source systems include Stanford HAI reports, Epoch AI, company press releases, and analyst research publications. Knowing your source matters.
Data QualityIs the data trustworthy?
Checking whether data is accurate, complete, consistent, and trustworthy. Bad data quality means you might make a confident decision based on a wrong number. It's one of the least glamorous parts of analytics — and one of the most important.
🗄️ Data Modelling Terms
Star SchemaHow the data is organized
A clean way to organize data so dashboards can filter and calculate properly. One central table holds the numbers; surrounding tables hold the context. It's called a star because the diagram looks like one — a center surrounded by points.
Fact TableThe numbers we measure
The main table in a star schema — it holds the actual numbers you want to track, like revenue, market share, or investment amount. Everything else in the model exists to help you slice and filter those numbers.
Dimension TableThe context behind the numbers
The lookup tables that explain the numbers — things like company name, region, date, or industry segment. Without dimensions, a number like "$30B revenue" has no context. With them, you know it's Anthropic's ARR in April 2026.
Source → DashboardThe full journey
Raw data from a source system flows through an ETL pipeline into a star schema (fact + dimension tables), which powers a dashboard. Each step adds structure and trustworthiness. This project walks through every step of that journey.
