30k-50k passings
Typical network scale
Decision intelligence for fiber operators under delivery pressure
I help FTTH operators standardize KPI definitions, integrate fragmented systems, and run weekly decisions from trusted metrics.
Built for operators in the 30k-50k passings range undergoing rapid growth where cost discipline and reporting confidence become mission-critical.
4-7 core systems
Systems integrated per engagement
10-14 weeks to executive KPI cadence
Delivery horizon
Where fiber KPI monitoring fails
Data silos between accounting, Sitetracker, VETRO, and implementation systems
Conflicting metric definitions for cost-per-mile, cost-per-passing, and install economics
Stale KPI dashboards without dependable refresh cycles for weekly leadership reviews
Limited governance around centralized fiber datasets, role-based access, and metric ownership
Why this matters to executives
Capex and build-risk visibility
Executives get earlier signals on cost drift, productivity gaps, and rollout bottlenecks before they impact quarter-end outcomes.
Investor and board reporting confidence
KPI definitions are aligned across finance, operations, and leadership so board packs are based on one agreed number set.
Lower delivery cost vs traditional consultancies
60% more cost effective than a traditional data consultancy at 3x the implementation pace.
Transformation approach
A focused transformation engagement for fiber networks to align leadership on KPI logic, build durable data pipelines, and institutionalize dashboard-led operating rhythm.
KPI Strategy
Review systems and stakeholder expectations, then align leadership on KPI definitions tied to build, finance, and growth priorities.
Data Foundation
Implement and document ingestion and transformation pipelines with governance that supports reliable refresh and auditability.
Decision Cadence
Launch executive dashboard packs, train owners, and lock in operating routines used in weekly and monthly decision forums.
Typical delivery window from fragmented reporting to executive KPI cadence: 10-14 weeks.
Who this is for
Best fit
- FTTH operators with 30k-50k passings and active expansion plans
- Leadership teams under board, lender, or investor reporting pressure
- Ops and finance teams working from conflicting KPI definitions
Fiber Data Maturity Framework
Level 1
Spreadsheet firefighting
Critical metrics are manually assembled and break every reporting cycle.
Level 2
Disconnected systems
Finance, operations, and field tools report different numbers for the same KPI.
Level 3
Standardized KPI control
Core KPI definitions and ownership are aligned, with stable refresh cycles.
Level 4
Decision intelligence
Leadership uses trusted KPI and forward-looking signals to steer build and capital allocation.
Cost of inaction
Cost overruns surface late, reducing options to correct build plans
Leadership meetings spend time reconciling numbers instead of making decisions
Investor confidence drops when KPI logic changes every reporting cycle
Why this differs from generic data consultancies
The engagement starts with fiber operating economics and leadership KPI alignment, not tooling demos.
Delivery is designed for decision forums across CFO, operations, and board stakeholders.
The goal is durable KPI governance and risk reduction, not one-time dashboard implementation.
Selected anonymized outcomes
Midwest Fiber Operator
FTTH InfrastructureApprox. 30k passings and active market expansion
Leadership and investors were receiving inconsistent numbers for cost-per-passing and project progress due to fragmented data ownership.
Approach
- Aligned KPI definitions between management and shareholder stakeholders.
- VETRO, Quickbooks and project planning datasets for aggregated build KPIs
- Established daily refresh for data pipelines
Results
- Reached first executive dashboard release in two weeks and full KPI suite in ten weeks.
- Reduced recurring KPI disputes in weekly leadership reviews by standardizing metric logic.
- Improved confidence in build economics reporting for board-level discussions.
Regional Growth Fiber Operator
FTTH InfrastructureApprox. 50k passings and multi-market rollout
Ops, finance, and delivery teams were relying on separate reporting workflows, delaying escalation of build variance and budget risks.
Approach
- Mapped and prioritized high-risk KPI definitions affecting capex and deployment decisions.
- Implemented centralized pipelines across field, construction, and finance systems.
- Deployed decision dashboards tied to weekly executive and monthly investor reporting rhythms.
Results
- Moved from fragmented reporting to a stable KPI operating cadence within fourteen weeks.
- Surfaced cost and productivity variances earlier in the reporting cycle.
- Created a single source of truth for operating and investor-facing KPI packs.
Data engineering architecture
Tooling is selected to support stable KPI governance and executive reporting cadence.

About Me
Delivered analytics foundations for two growing fiber operators
Adomas Malaiska works hands-on with fiber operators to turn fragmented data environments into executive decision systems. The focus is not just dashboards, but a durable KPI operating model that finance, operations, and leadership can run each week.
