1st-level Analytics & Forecasting

Casting Time: 10 minutes to set up, 1 action to consult thereafter
Range/Area: Unlimited, so long as the underlying data pipeline remains connected
Components: V, S, M (a login credential, not consumed)
Duration: Concentration, up to 8 hours (commonly re-cast every morning)
Classes: Data Analyst, Product Manager, anyone with a login

You create an invisible sensor that displays a curated selection of your organization’s metrics, updated on a delay of no less than 24 hours. While concentrating, you may consult the sensor as an action to learn the current value of up to six metrics you selected at the time of casting.

The sensor only displays metrics you thought, at the time of casting, would be worth tracking. It cannot answer questions about a metric you did not think to include, and will not proactively inform you if a more important one has emerged elsewhere.

A creature that stares at the sensor long enough begins to mistake the metrics displayed for the entirety of the underlying reality; treat this creature as under an effect identical to nondetection, except that it applies only to whatever the sensor does not measure.

At Higher Levels. When cast using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the delay decreases to 1 hour and you may track two additional metrics for each slot level above 1st. Each additional metric increases the DC of any check made to understand what any of them actually mean.

Flavor: “the dashboard says we’re up 12% week over week, though I’m not totally sure what’s driving it.” — standup notes
