How does Annex reduce the risk of building the wrong thing in Data, Analytics & Reporting?

Data, Analytics & Reporting · 2026-09-11

Annex uses evidence during delivery rather than treating quality as a final inspection step. A brand name was selected through user testing, and website prototype testing informed and validated our approach. The Annex team worked collaboratively with the AER to deliver an evidence-based solution that met the needs of Energy Innovators. Depending on the engagement, evidence can come from research, prototype validation, functional or accessibility testing, analytics and stakeholder feedback. The success measures should follow the real user and service goals; Annex does not publish one universal metric for every data, analytics & reporting project.

Related follow-upWhat happens if a client already has an existing website, portal or reporting environment?
