    The manager, at the start of week 1

    Subject: A few questions to get me oriented before the board meeting

    Hi Hannah,

    Thanks for taking these on this week — I know slots are tight, so please prioritize in the order below and don't force everything into this week if it doesn't fit cleanly. I'd rather get three solid answers than five rushed ones.

    1. Where does our revenue actually come from? I'd like a sense of how concentrated we are — which merchants and which verticals are driving the bulk of our volume and fees today, and how that's shifted over the last year or so. I'm trying to understand if we're overly dependent on a handful of accounts.
    2. How healthy is our growth? Are we gaining merchants and transaction volume, or is it flat/declining? I'd like to see the trend over the last several quarters, and ideally whether growth is coming from new merchants or from existing ones doing more.
    3. Where do we make our money, and how is that mix changing? Between platform fees and payment processing, I want to understand the balance, and whether one is growing faster than the other.
    4. What's working and what's not, vertical by vertical? I'd like a simple read on which verticals are thriving versus struggling — whether that's measured by growth, retention, or merchant satisfaction, whatever tells the clearest story.
    5. (If time allows) Are there any warning signs I should know about — merchants at risk of leaving, payment or fulfillment problems, support issues — anything that could become a board-level concern if it's not already on my radar.

    What I need this for: I'm building my mental model of the business ahead of the board meeting at the end of January, and I want my first real conversation with the board to show I understand where we're strong, where we're exposed, and what I'm watching closely. Your Friday memo will be the backbone of that.

    Let me know if any of these need narrowing once you've had a look at what's feasible — happy to discuss before you lock in the report requests.

    Thanks, Maren

  2. Hannah Brooks plans the night

    The analyst · week 1, night 1, request 3 of 3

    Maren's priority #1 is revenue concentration (which merchants/verticals drive volume and fees, and how that's shifted). I'm starting there with three complementary views at different grains, all built on payouts (gross/fee/net) since that's the cleanest, consistently-defined measure of money actually settled to/kept from merchants (the platform-plan billing of merchants isn't separately modeled in the warehouse as far as I can tell — I'll sanity-check that assumption before committing more slots to it). Report 1 gives merchant-level concentration today; Report 2 shows how that concentration has moved over the last 2 years; Report 3 rolls the same money up by vertical. Together these should let me describe dependency risk and set up next week's growth and fee-mix questions. Saving growth/fee-mix/vertical-health/risk questions for later nights per Maren's note that it's fine not to force everything into week one.

    Which merchant verticals (industries) generate the bulk of Tidewick's processing volume and fee revenue today?
    One row per
    merchant vertical (tenants.industry)
    Columns
    • vertical (industry)
    • merchant count (distinct tenants with a qualifying payout)
    • gross payment volume (EUR)
    • fee revenue (EUR)
    • average fee revenue per merchant (EUR)
    • share of total fee revenue (%)

    “Submitted. Summary of what the report does: - Grain: one row per merchant vertical (tenants.industry), with nulls/blanks bucketed into 'Unspecified'. - Window: payouts with paid_at in 2025-01-01 through 2025-12-31. - Inclusion rule: status = 'paid' — this was my best-effort interpretation of "completed/settled," since the catalog doesn't list an enum for payouts.status. I flagged this in the submit note so it can be reconciled with the other two reports in the batch if they use a different code. - Conversion: gross and fee amounts converted to EUR via exchange_rates (base_code = EUR) matched on currency and the payout's date, with EUR-currency payouts treated as rate 1.0. - Columns: vertical, merchant count, gross payment volume (EUR), fee revenue (EUR), average fee revenue per merchant (EUR), share of total fee revenue (%) — 6 columns, well within the width limit. - Ordering: fee revenue descending, tie-broken by vertical name ascending.”

    • The request, as Bea received it
      Report request from Hannah Brooks (analyst for the Chief Executive Officer):

Title: Revenue by vertical, trailing 12 months
Question: Which merchant verticals (industries) generate the bulk of Tidewick's processing volume and fee revenue today?
Grain: one row per merchant vertical (tenants.industry)
Columns:
- vertical (industry)
- merchant count (distinct tenants with a qualifying payout)
- gross payment volume (EUR)
- fee revenue (EUR)
- average fee revenue per merchant (EUR)
- share of total fee revenue (%)
Details: Source: payouts joined to tenants on tenant_id for industry. Same window (paid_at 2025-01-01 to 2025-12-31), same inclusion rule (completed/settled payouts only), and same EUR conversion method via exchange_rates as the other two reports in this batch. Group by tenants.industry. Order by fee revenue EUR descending, tie-break by vertical name ascending. If industry is null/blank for some tenants, group those into a single 'Unspecified' row rather than dropping them.

Check your query with the warehouse's dry_run tool, then hand it in with submit.

      Submitted to tonight's batch. Your work on this request is done.
    • BeaSubmitted. Summary of what the report does: - **Grain:** one row per merchant vertical (`tenants.industry`), with nulls/blanks bucketed into `'Unspecified'`. - **Window:** payouts with `paid_at` in 2025-01-01 through 2025-12-31. - **Inclusion rule:** `status = 'paid'` — this was my best-effort interpretation of "completed/settled," since the catalog doesn't list an enum for `payouts.status`. I flagged this in the submit note so it can be reconciled with the other two reports in the batch if they use a different code. - **Conversion:** gross and fee amounts converted to EUR via `exchange_rates` (base_code = EUR) matched on currency and the payout's date, with EUR-currency payouts treated as rate 1.0. - **Columns:** vertical, merchant count, gross payment volume (EUR), fee revenue (EUR), average fee revenue per merchant (EUR), share of total fee revenue (%) — 6 columns, well within the width limit. - **Ordering:** fee revenue descending, tie-broken by vertical name ascending.
