The Problem

Your team is buried in feedback. But your decisions are still waiting.

You have survey data, reviews, verbatims, retail feedback. But turning that into insights takes too long.

By the time insights arrive, the window to act has already closed.

This is not a data problem. It is a workflow problem.

By the time feedback is synthesized, the opportunity has passed. Your team is always one step behind the decisions that need them most.

Every report tells a different story depending on who ran the analysis. Leadership stops trusting the findings, and research loses its seat at the table.

Feedback volume keeps growing. Headcount does not. Your researchers are spending more time managing data than generating insight.

Every project starts from scratch. Insights live in slide decks, not in a system your team can build on. The wheel gets reinvented every single time.

This is the gap between where your team is and where it needs to be. You go from reacting to data to running a fast, reliable insights engine. That shift starts with finding exactly where the process breaks down.

Mariana Dalto — Strategy

Strategy First
Strategy Before Tools. Always.

You don’t need another tool. You need a faster workflow.

Most teams try to fix slow insights with new platforms or AI prompts. But tools don’t fix broken workflows. That’s where Mariana comes in.

She acts as the architect of your insights workflow, designing the structure, flow, and sequencing that moves your existing data faster from collection to decision. She does not replace your research agency or require you to adopt new platforms.

What Mariana Does

  • Speeds up insight generation so decisions happen faster
  • Delivers consistent, decision-ready outputs every time
  • Installs workflows that run inside your existing tools
  • Enables your team to run the process independently

What Mariana Does Not Do

  • Replace your research agency or fieldwork partners
  • Build custom software or require new platforms
  • Rely on a single AI solution to fix everything
  • Take over your entire research function

“You go from reacting to data to running a fast, reliable insights engine.”

— Mariana Dalto

The numbers behind what your team is feeling.

The research confirms it. Slow insights are not a team problem. They are a systems problem. The brands closing the gap between feedback and decisions are not hiring more analysts. They are fixing the workflow first.

0%
Only 13% of research teams still operating without AI are maintaining influence. The rest are losing budget and strategic impact.
0x
Research teams using basic AI capabilities are four times more likely to lose organizational influence than teams using purpose-built workflows.
0x
Leaders are twice as likely to believe AI has transformed their insights process than the teams actually running it, creating a gap that slows decisions.
#0
Workflow redesign is the biggest factor in whether AI delivers financial results inside an organization.
The brands making faster decisions are not the ones with more data. They are the ones with a system to process it. And that’s exactly what we help you build.
Slow insights are not a team problem. They are a systems problem. The right workflow changes everything — without adding headcount or adopting new platforms.

The Solution

Insights Acceleration Framework

Three phases. Find the bottleneck. Fix it. Build the system.

Phase One

Find the Bottleneck

Every slow insights process has one thing in common: a hidden bottleneck. We analyze your workflow, data flow, and decision process to identify exactly where your team is slowing down and where automation or AI can accelerate outcomes.

  • A map of your current insights workflow
  • Identification of the key bottleneck causing delays
  • A breakdown of where time and effort are being lost
  • The top opportunities for automation and AI acceleration
  • A clear recommendation on what to fix first
Phase Two

Fix the Workflow

Once we identify the bottleneck, we redesign and implement a faster workflow inside your team using automation, AI, and improved process design. This is not a recommendation deck. This is a working solution your team can use immediately.

  • Redesign your workflow for speed and consistency
  • Implement templates and processes inside your existing tools
  • Test the new workflow with your team
  • Deliver measurable improvements in turnaround time
Your team moves from slow analysis to faster, decision-ready insights within weeks.
Phase Three

Build the System

Once the faster workflow is proven, we turn it into a repeatable insights system. This is where insights stop being reactive and become operational.

  • Standardize templates and reporting
  • Create consistent handoffs and workflows
  • Centralize outputs so insights do not get lost
  • Enable your team to run the process independently
Your team stops starting from scratch. Leadership starts trusting insights. Your organization runs on faster decisions.

Built Inside the Brands You Know

She did not study this from the outside. She built it from the inside.

At companies like Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, and SC Johnson, slow insights were not acceptable. Decisions moved fast and research workflows had to keep up.

Mariana spent 12+ years inside organizations where fast, reliable insights were not a competitive advantage. They were the expectation.

When she began working with growing Food & Beverage brands, she saw the same pressure without any of that infrastructure. Smart teams drowning in verbatims. Innovation cycles stalled. Insights arriving after decisions were already made.

That is the gap Dalto AI Advisory was built to close.

No Insights Lead? That Is Exactly Who This Is Built For.

Many growing Food & Beverage brands do not have a dedicated Head of Insights.

Instead, they have:

A marketing leader stretched across multiple roles

A founder making product decisions on instinct

A lean team with no structured insights process

That is where Mariana steps in. She acts as your Fractional Head of Insights, structuring research, designing workflows, and building the system your team can run independently.

You do not need to hire a full-time insights team. You need the right workflow.
