Hire a Customer Intelligence FTE

Customer Intelligence Officer

One customer record, whichever door they came through. The Customer Intelligence FTE matches identities across your store, marketplaces, tills, help desk and email platform with the consent each record carries, builds cohorts from orders rather than from clicks, and computes lifetime value on contribution rather than revenue — so the customers who look best are the ones who actually are. Every other customer-facing role reads its segments; it reports identity match rate and repeat-purchase rate you can trust.

Accountable for

One customer record across channels, with a repeat rate you can trust

Judged on · Identity match rate and repeat purchase rate

What it does not do · It does not message customers, does not merge records without the consent basis to do so, and does not share any customer's data outside your organization.

How it works

A week with Customer Intelligence.

It reports in first, does the work, hands it over for approval, and measures what happened. You review it the way you review a direct report.

  1. Continuously01

    Match

    Identities matched across systems with the consent each record carries; matches you can inspect.

  2. Daily02

    Cohorts and segments refreshed

    Repeat rate by cohort from orders; segments other roles read, with definitions printed.

  3. Weekly03

    Contribution-based value

    Lifetime value on contribution, so discounters and returners are not mistaken for the best customers.

  4. Monthly04

    Match rate and repeat rate

    Identity match rate, repeat-purchase rate at the fixed horizon, and the consent audit.

The workspace

Managed like a direct report.

Customer Intelligence reports into a workspace built for a manager, not an operator. Four of its tabs, drawn as they work.

Today

Capabilities

Built for the job.

One customer record, whichever door they came through. The Customer Intelligence FTE matches identities across your store, marketplaces, tills, help desk and email platform with the consent each record carries, builds cohorts from orders rather than from clicks, and computes lifetime value on contribution rather than revenue — so the customers who look best are the ones who actually are. Every other customer-facing role reads its segments; it reports identity match rate and repeat-purchase rate you can trust.

Missions

What you can ask it to do.

Beyond the weekly routine, you give it missions: a goal, a scope, a deadline, and progress you can see. Three modes, all of them bounded.

Production

Unify store and online customers

A bounded push to match till records to online customers with consent, and report the combined view.

Diagnostic

Why did repeat rate fall for last quarter's cohort?

Ranked causes with the cohort as evidence: acquisition mix, a product, a service failure.

Strategy

Who are our best customers, really?

Segments by contribution rather than revenue, with what they buy and how they were acquired.

Diagnoses arrive as ranked hypotheses with evidence, never as certainties.

Inside your stack

It works in the tools you already run.

Customer Intelligence connects to the systems below with the permissions you grant, per organization and per property, and nothing more. Connections can be revoked at any time.

    • BigCommerce
    • Adobe Commerce (Magento)
  • Identity sources

    • Shopify POS
    • Klaviyo

  • Where you review its work

    • Your ftes.ai workspace
    • Claude and ChatGPT via MCP connector
    • Email brief
Control

You manage. Customer Intelligence executes.

It starts at Level 0 and earns autonomy one step at a time. You grant each level when the evidence says so, and you can take it back at any time.

  1. Level 0

    Proposes only

    Every draft, launch, send or spend waits in Approvals. This is where every FTE starts.

  2. Level 1

    Low-risk on its own

    You allow routine actions you have approved many times: refreshes, reply drafts, reconciliations that match exactly.

  3. Level 2

    Acts inside caps

    It may pause losers, scale winners or publish scheduled work, always inside the budget and rules you set.

  4. Level 3

    Runs the week

    Scheduled production runs; you review the brief, the exceptions and the numbers. Any level can be taken back at any time.

    Sign up

    Create your organization. Customer Intelligence is added to your workforce from the link below.

    Its first brief and first proposals land in Approvals the same day.

FAQ

Before you hire.

Short answers. The docs have the long ones.

Does it message customers or share their data?

No. It builds the record and the segments inside your organization; other roles message on your approval, and nothing leaves your account.

What can the Customer Intelligence FTE do without my approval?

Nothing that leaves your company. Customer Intelligence proposes first: every publish, send or spend waits in Approvals with its reasons and evidence. You can grant more autonomy step by step and take it back at any time. Every action is logged.

How is it priced?

Plans are token-metered blocks of work, not seats. Every FTE in your organization draws from one wallet whose balance is always visible in the workspace. At zero the FTEs pause; they never overdraw.

How long does onboarding take?

Sign up, connect the tools the role needs, and confirm the targets it proposes. Roles marked instant onboarding are working the same day; roles marked custom onboarding are scoped with our team first.

Where does my data go?

Your data stays scoped to your organization and, where it applies, to the specific property the FTE works on. Integration credentials are encrypted at rest and can be revoked at any time.

Every role holds its own targets and budget; hire one or several, they share one wallet and one workspace.
