Phase 1 - Immediate FP&A foundation

Forecast Intelligence Runtime

Move forecasting from a number to an explainable decision: what changed, why it changed, what happens next, and what action should be taken.

Business problem: Automated forecasting and commentary are insufficient unless the runtime connects drivers, variance, scenarios, cash impact, policy, evidence, and recommended response. Open JSON contract Back to foundations
Runtime Hardening Proof

Execution evidence from Enterprise Decision Runtime service

This panel is generated from runtime service functions on each request: event correlation, policy simulation, learning metrics, agent guardrails, decision trace, and audit package export. It closes the view-vs-system gap by showing the platform executing, not only describing architecture.

Hardening stance: agents fail closed to human supervision on missing evidence, low source confidence, or write-back attempts. Learning is measured, replay-backed, and cannot change policy or autonomy without approval.
North Star runtime outcome

Forecasts become continuously refreshed, driver-explained, scenario-aware, policy-bound, and replayable.

Core components
ComponentCapability
Forecast AgentProduces revenue, margin, cash, EBITDA, FCF, ROACE, and confidence.
Variance AgentExplains plan vs actual and forecast vs actual using volume, price, mix, FX, timing, and driver movement.
Scenario AgentRuns best/base/worst cases and quantifies downstream cash, tax, EBITDA, and working-capital effects.
Narrative AgentGenerates board commentary, management commentary, and evidence-linked insight.
Forecast Studio UIShows forecast, confidence, risk, drivers, narrative, actions, evidence, and replay.
