You’re Not Alone.

We’ve Been There—Buried in Data, Starving for Clarity.

A few years ago, a university did what so many do: they made student success a top priority. They pulled reports from every corner of campus—learning centers, IR, early alerts, evaluations, enrollment data—and tried to piece together a plan.

By the end of each academic year, leaders were drowning in spreadsheets. The numbers painted a picture of what was happening. But never why.

Sound familiar?

Despite countless meetings, new programs, and well-meaning initiatives, nothing really changed. Progress stalled. Frustration grew. People pointed fingers. Budgets tightened. And slowly, expectations slipped into survival mode: just do the best you can… with less.

That’s when they found Trench Data™.

And everything shifted.

Suddenly, the “why” came into focus.

Trench Data™ revealed what had been hiding in plain sight: students weren’t struggling randomly—they were getting stuck at specific stages of the academic work process. Gaps between what happened in class and what was needed outside of it became visible, trackable, solvable.

With clarity came confidence. And momentum.

• Faculty began teaching with sharper purpose.
• Learning centers stepped forward as leaders.
• First-year programs got a fresh start.
• Retention improved. DFW rates dropped.
• The budget finally breathed.

And departments began working together again.

For the first time, the entire campus shared a common understanding of what academic work really looks like—and how to improve it.

This is what Trench Data™ does.

It doesn’t just organize your data. It activates it.
