Step 0 · Prepare your data

Get ready

Prepare for your FireAI setup in ten minutes. List the KPIs you track with a figure you already trust, your team's business words, and who should see which data.

Updated September 30, 2026

Ten minutes of preparation here saves hours later. You will fill in three short lists that later steps use.

Things you need

  • Your FireAI sign-in (email and password, or your Google or Microsoft work account)
  • A computer with a web browser (Chrome works well)
  • For Step 12, your account must be an org owner or org admin. If you are not sure, ask whoever gave you access.

List 1: the numbers you want

Open a blank Excel or Google Sheet and copy this table. Add a row for each number your business tracks. Start with three to five.

Sample table. The rows below are examples. Replace them with your own numbers.

The number How it is worked out, in plain words A figure you already trust Where that figure came from
Total sales value Add up the value of every sale ₹774 crore for 2024 Accounts team's 2024 report
Average bill value Total sales divided by number of bills
Number of bills Count every invoice

The third column matters most

It is how you will prove FireAI is right without needing to understand any code. Take the figure from a report you already rely on, such as your accounts system or Tally.

List 2: your business words

Write down words your team uses that an outsider might not understand, and what each means. For example: bills means invoices; pairs means units sold; ABV means average bill value.

List 3: who should see what

Only needed if different people should see different data (Step 12). Write one row per person.

Sample table. The rows below are examples. Replace them with your own people.

Person Their FireAI email What they should see Their code in your data
Priya, store manager priya@acme.com Only her shop Shop number S-104
Arun, regional manager arun@acme.com Every shop in the West region Region R-WEST
CFO cfo@acme.com Everything
