Agent for hire · All agents
Per-Location Performance Benchmarking Agent
Compares every location to its peer cohort on the metrics that move budget — at 2σ thresholds with root-cause attribution.
Hire the agent that ends the cohort-blind reporting tax. Ingests organic, paid, review, social, and foot-traffic signals per location; computes peer-cohort z-scores across region, brand, store-size, vertical, and ownership-model; flags 2σ outliers within hours of the period closing; and attaches a root-cause attribution sketch so the CMO can defend budget shifts to the board, PE sponsor, or franchisee council. Wraps Looker / Tableau / Power BI — does not replace them.

Early-adopter program
First 25 subscribers lock the early-adopter monthly rate for the full 6-month term and get priority influence over the skill backlog. Standard rate after the cap: $3,500–$7,000/mo.
Two paths to running this agent
Self-host with the free deployment guide and run your own instance, or rent the hosted agent and skip the build entirely. The skill library is the same either way — the rental ships with hosting, maintenance, and context-tuning included.

DFY — rental
Rent the hosted agent
We host the runtime, maintain the skill library, and tune the agent to your context at onboarding. You pay a monthly fee. No bespoke customization — new skills go through the shared backlog.

What this agent owns
Per-location performance benchmarking against peer cohorts on organic ranking, paid ROAS, conversion rate, review score, social engagement, foot traffic, and attributed revenue. Owns the cohort definitions, the z-scoring math, the 2σ flagging thresholds, and the per-location + per-cohort benchmark reports rendered for board prep and franchisee-council memos. Does not auto-act — surfaces insights to humans (the CMO, the FP&A analyst, the franchisee council) for the budget decision. Feeds rollup-reporting downstream.
Install it where your team already works
The agent listens for inbound requests from any of these surfaces and acts inside its skill boundary.

Example asks
- "@bench compare Austin to the Texas-region cohort this quarter" (Slack)
- Scheduled daily metric refresh; weekly cohort recompute; monthly board-prep digest
- Threshold-crossing alert when a location drops 2σ below cohort on a key metric
- "@bench prep the Q3 board deck — cohort-framed underperformers + root cause" (Teams)
Skill library
Every skill in the rental package. Status reflects current development state — early-adopter subscribers influence which backlog skills move into development next.
In development
- In development
Per-location metric ingestion
Pulls organic-ranking, paid-ROAS, review, social, foot-traffic, and attributed-revenue signals per location from rank trackers, publishing-sibling agents, and the unified attribution stream.
- In development
Multi-dimensional peer-cohort computation
Computes peer cohorts across region, brand, store-size, vertical, and ownership-model; standardized z-scoring per metric per cohort.
- In development
2σ underperformer / outperformer flagging
Flags locations crossing ±2σ thresholds against their cohort with configurable severity tiers and Slack/Teams/email routing.
- In development
Root-cause attribution sketch
When a location underperforms on a metric, surfaces candidate upstream causes from related metrics + publishing-agent telemetry instead of leaving the analyst to dig.
- In development
Per-location + per-cohort benchmark reports
Renders Slack / Teams / email / PDF benchmark views with documented cohort criteria to defuse "fair comparison" disputes from franchisees.
- In development
Reads the operator's master record (addresses, hours, services, manager bios, license status) and triggers downstream actions on change.

Backlog — subscribers prioritize one at a time
These skills are mapped from the 248-loop SKU research backlog. We build one at a time, in sequence, with active subscribers voting on which goes next. One skill per quarter is included in the base rental; subscribers can request more through a separate skill-accelerator add-on.
- Backlog · subscriber-prioritized
Predictive performance forecasting per location
Extrapolates cohort-relative trend lines per location so the CMO can move budget before the period closes, not after.
Suggest a skill
The backlog is open-ended. If the skill you need is not on this list, propose it during onboarding or anytime through your subscriber Slack — every active subscriber gets a vote on what moves into development next.
