# BlackRoad OS - Analytics Service > Business intelligence, anomaly detection, and decision automation ## Overview The Analytics service provides intelligent business analytics, anomaly detection, cohort analysis, and automated decision planning for BlackRoad OS. ## Features ### Anomaly Detection (`anomaly_rules.py`) - Rule-based metric anomaly detection - Safe expression evaluation with AST visitor pattern - Configurable severity levels - Percentage drop and delta threshold detection - Time series analysis with trailing window ### Cohort Analysis (`cohorts.py`) - User segmentation and cohort tracking - Multi-metric aggregation: - Revenue - Gross margin percentage - NPS (Net Promoter Score) - Return rate - Uptime - MTTR (Mean Time To Recovery) - Period-based bucketing (Monthly, Weekly, Quarterly) ### Decision Engine (`decide.py`) - Action heuristics mapping - Credit budget constraints - Goal-based action selection - RACI matrix generation - Impact-scored decision optimization - Multi-goal support ### Narrative Generation (`narrative.py`) - Automated report generation (Markdown, PPTX) - Executive summaries with structured sections: - What happened - Why it matters - What we're doing - Risks & Next Steps - Schema validation for outputs ## Configuration Config files expected at: ``` configs/analytics/ ├── rules.yaml # Anomaly detection rules ├── goals.yaml # Business goals ├── constraints.yaml # Decision constraints └── cohorts.yaml # Cohort definitions ``` ## Usage ```python from services.analytics import anomaly_rules, decide, narrative # Detect anomalies anomalies = anomaly_rules.run_rules(rules_path, "7d") # Plan actions based on anomalies plan_path = decide.plan_actions(anomalies_path, goals_path, constraints_path) # Generate narrative report report = narrative.generate(data, template="executive") ``` ## Integration ### Railway Deployment - Service: `blackroad-os-core` - Domain: `core.blackroad.systems` - Health: `GET /health` ### Endpoints - `POST /v1/analytics/anomalies` - Detect anomalies - `GET /v1/analytics/cohorts/:id` - Get cohort metrics - `POST /v1/analytics/decide` - Plan actions - `POST /v1/analytics/report` - Generate narrative ## Artifacts All operations generate artifacts in: ``` artifacts/ ├── anomalies/ │ ├── YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.json │ ├── YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.md │ └── latest.json ├── decisions/ │ └── plan_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.json └── reports/ └── YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.md ``` ## Decision Heuristics Built-in action mappings: | Metric | Action | Bot | Credits | Impact | |--------|--------|-----|---------|--------| | uptime | SRE mitigation | sre_bot | 8 | 4 | | revenue | Adjust Pricing | pricing_bot | 10 | 5 | ## Source Extracted from: `blackroad-prism-console/analytics/`
