What Is A Compass Report?
A pre-aggregated matrix built from MarketCheck data with:
Rows

Core Metrics
Essential performance measures that highlight market activity, pricing, and stock movement.
Analysis-Ready
Drops straight into Excel, Tableau, or any BI tool for immediate analysis and visualization.
Compass Reports are similar to our Rolling Timeframe Reports, but are designed as data feeds for integration into analytics tools. If you prefer a more readable, human-focused view of the same insights, explore our Rolling Timeframe Reports.
