The guide tells you what to ask. It can't tell you which of the nine your current setup is most likely to fail, or what a strong answer sounds like when you hear it live.
Fifteen minutes with a Stella founder gets you both, so you walk into the review knowing exactly what to listen for.
Book the 15-minute call →Founder-led, not an SDR · No prep · Not a demo · We'll tell you if you're too early
Tell us what your vendor or internal team hands you today and we'll point at the check they're probably skipping.
Out-of-sample MAPE, confidence bounds, MDE. We'll say the good version so the weak version is obvious when you hear it.
Some teams should build this in-house. Some should use a tool. We'll tell you which one you are, even when the answer is not us.
The nine checks in the guide are the checks Stella shows on every model it runs, because a number you can't audit is an opinion with a decimal point.
Stella was built to answer all nine, by design. Holdouts that calibrate an MMM, an always-on model calibrated by both, attribution and post-purchase surveys weighted into one number, and validity metrics on every result so you can check the math yourself.
We put the price here because "custom pricing" is usually how a 15-minute call turns into a sales process, and this isn't that.
The 15 minutes is not a demo. You tell us how you measure today and the decision you're trying to make. We walk you through how we'd think about it and why. If it's a fit, the next step is a 30-minute walkthrough with your team on real data. If it isn't, we'll say so and tell you what we'd do instead.
Not ready to talk? Totally fine. Read the guide first. When a question comes up, reply to the email it arrived in. Brenden reads every reply and answers most of them the same day. The calendar will still be here.
Stella gave us the causal layer we needed. For the first time, we could tell finance exactly which dollars were incremental and which ones were just taking credit.
It's a conversation with a founder about how you measure marketing. We'll tell you how Stella approaches it. We won't screen-share a dashboard, and there's nothing to buy on the call. If it's a fit, we'll suggest a second call. If it isn't, we'll say so.
No. It helps if you know which channels you run and the decision you're trying to make. If you have your vendor's last report handy, bring the one number you don't trust. Not required.
There's no spend threshold. What matters is whether getting a budget decision wrong is expensive for you. If you're genuinely too early, we'll say that in the first five minutes and point you at the free tier.
Fifteen minutes with a founder. Nothing to prepare. We'll tell you if we're not a fit.
