RNL Insights

RNL Insights is the first conversational AI data analyst tool tailored specifically to universities. It helps universities make sense of their vast amounts of data quickly and easily. RNL Insights can analyze all your university’s data in seconds and provides you with expert-level answers to complex questions like “Why did enrollment decrease for the fall entry term?”.  

RNL Insights unites the creative, comprehension-rich side of a large language model (LLM) (the “right brain”) with the logic and reasoning of advanced analytics techniques (the “left brain”). This combination makes sophisticated analysis easier for everyone to use, without losing accuracy or effectiveness.

RNL Insights solves the typical challenges seen in current analytics tools within a university: 

1. Taking too long to get answers.
2. Missed revenue opportunities.
3. Poor adoption rates among users (under 30%).
4. Growing backlogs for report requests and analysis.

RNL Insights delivers accurate and robust analysis faster and more robustly than your CRM can due to four key innovations: 

1. RNL Insights’ Natural Language Chat – Simply Ask Your Data: Ask your data any question with RNL Insights’ chat interface. Your question is automatically analyzed and the results are presented in everyday language supported by visualizations. This is the easiest and quickest way for users to get insights from their data without running queries or digging through dashboards. 
2. Lightning-Compute Engine (LCE)- Engineered for Speed and Savings: RNL Insights has designed and developed a highly optimized compute engine capable of processing millions of data points in the blink of an eye. It has query speeds 100x over current data warehouses.
3. Core Analytics Engine – Expert-Level Analysis: The core analytics engine for RNL Insights carries out intricate analysis of all your data, whether that’s checking every segment, identifying anomalies, detecting outliers, diving into funnel analytics, or conducting robust comparative analysis, nothing is missed.
4. Data Navigator – Explore all your Data in a Single Interface: RNL Insights is supported by the Data Navigator which highlights key metric performance and allows you to freely analyze any part of your data with just a few clicks. Continuously drill down to investigate the details of what changed and why with complete accuracy.

RNL will use a data modeler to define the tables, dimensions, and metrics in the dataset. After these definitions are set, we automatically generate an ETL to pull the relevant data. The data is then stored in a format for our Lightning Compute Engine which is specifically designed and optimized to process millions of data points in seconds and simultaneously cuts costs.  

Within RNL Insights, you can have a conversation with your CRM about your specific enrollment trends and the outcomes of your recruitment activities: 

1. Gain insights and drive correlations between your CRM database/enrollments data, asking questions like: 

• • How many leads were generated from last week’s college fair? 
  • How many deposits do I have from Hancock County for Fall 2024?
  • What activities lead to the application increase last week?

With RNL Insights, you can track the outcomes of donor meetings, determine what activities lead to a group of donors increasing their giving amount, monitor new donors, track donation amounts, and identify top-performing campaigns with precision and accuracy. Our customizable analytics drill down to specific metrics that matter most to your organization. Go beyond typical conversion metrics by being able to ask your own questions and drive analysis in real time. 

• • Which alumni groups have been consistently donating above their average annual gift amount, and what motivates them to do so?
  • Are there any demographic segments within our current donor base where we can expect increased giving due to recent changes in income or life circumstances?

Implementation timeline estimates will be included in the Statement of Work and will fluctuate based on the confirmed data boards and data sources to be implemented to meet the business needs and requirements.  

When thinking about timelines for implementing Insights, RNL will want to take a closer look at the specific need of the client/partner in addition to data readiness. Before coming up with an implementation timeline for the SOW, our experts will dive deeper into the specific pain points for reporting and analytics and what matters most to the client/partner.  

RNL Insights simplifies the data setup process and eliminates the need for ongoing dashboard maintenance. Assuming ideal data readiness on the client/partner side, the average onboarding is estimated to be completed in 2-4 weeks for a single data board with 1 data source.

Yes. As users ask questions, RNL Insights analyzes your data in real-time so you always see the latest results. This allows users to ask any question and always get an answer right away. 

However, note that the data analyzed by RNL Insights is updated based on when customer’s data is fully updated in their data platform.
