Pipeline Analytics — NL → SQL → Interactive Charts

Transform natural language questions into DuckDB queries and render results as interactive Recharts dashboards inline in chat.

Workflow

User asks question in plain English
→ Translate to DuckDB SQL against workspace pivot views (v_*)
→ Execute query
→ Format results as report-json
→ Render as interactive Recharts components

DuckDB Query Patterns

Discovery — What objects exist?

-- List all objects and their entry counts
SELECT o.name, o.display_name, COUNT(e.id) as entries
FROM objects o
LEFT JOIN entries e ON e.object_id = o.id
GROUP BY o.name, o.display_name
ORDER BY entries DESC;

-- List fields for an object
SELECT f.name, f.field_type, f.display_name
FROM fields f
JOIN objects o ON f.object_id = o.id
WHERE o.name = 'leads'
ORDER BY f.position;

-- Available pivot views
SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables
WHERE table_name LIKE 'v_%';

Common Analytics Queries

Pipeline Funnel

SELECT "Status", COUNT(*) as count
FROM v_leads
GROUP BY "Status"
ORDER BY CASE "Status"
  WHEN 'New' THEN 1
  WHEN 'Contacted' THEN 2
  WHEN 'Qualified' THEN 3
  WHEN 'Demo Scheduled' THEN 4
  WHEN 'Proposal' THEN 5
  WHEN 'Closed Won' THEN 6
  WHEN 'Closed Lost' THEN 7
  ELSE 99
END;

Outreach Activity Over Time

SELECT DATE_TRUNC('week', "Last Outreach"::DATE) as week,
       "Outreach Channel",
       COUNT(*) as messages_sent
FROM v_leads
WHERE "Last Outreach" IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY week, "Outreach Channel"
ORDER BY week;

Conversion Rates by Source

SELECT "Source",
       COUNT(*) as total,
       COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE "Status" = 'Qualified') as qualified,
       COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE "Status" IN ('Closed Won', 'Converted')) as converted,
       ROUND(100.0 * COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE "Status" = 'Qualified') / COUNT(*), 1) as qual_rate,
       ROUND(100.0 * COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE "Status" IN ('Closed Won', 'Converted')) / COUNT(*), 1) as conv_rate
FROM v_leads
GROUP BY "Source"
ORDER BY total DESC;

Reply Rate Analysis

SELECT "Outreach Channel",
       COUNT(*) as sent,
       COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE "Reply Received" = true) as replied,
       ROUND(100.0 * COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE "Reply Received" = true) / COUNT(*), 1) as reply_rate
FROM v_leads
WHERE "Outreach Status" IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY "Outreach Channel";

Time-to-Convert

SELECT "Source",
       AVG(DATEDIFF('day', created_at, "Converted At"::DATE)) as avg_days_to_convert,
       MEDIAN(DATEDIFF('day', created_at, "Converted At"::DATE)) as median_days
FROM v_leads
WHERE "Status" = 'Converted' AND "Converted At" IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY "Source";

Report-JSON Format

Generate Recharts-compatible report cards:

Natural Language Mapping

Saving Reports

Reports can be saved as .report.json files in the workspace:

~/.openclaw/workspace/reports/
  pipeline-overview.report.json
  weekly-outreach.report.json
  monthly-review.report.json

These render as live dashboards in the Ironclaw web UI when opened.

Cron Integration

Auto-generate weekly/monthly reports:

{
  "name": "Weekly Pipeline Report",
  "schedule": { "kind": "cron", "expr": "0 9 * * MON", "tz": "America/Denver" },
  "payload": {
    "kind": "agentTurn",
    "message": "Generate weekly pipeline analytics report. Query DuckDB for this week's data. Create report-json with: funnel, outreach activity (area), reply rates (bar), source breakdown (donut). Save to workspace/reports/ and announce summary."
  }
