Causality Engine
Don’t just find the variance. Find the cause.
Trace a financial outcome through the business—from the P&L to drivers, operational events and source evidence.

Capabilities
Built around the questions that matter.
These capabilities are designed to work together rather than operate as isolated modules.
01
Start with the financial outcome
In the productBegin from EBITDA, gross margin, revenue or cash against budget and last period.
02
Decompose material drivers
In the productSeparate a margin movement into price, volume, mix and cost effects.
03
Connect drivers to operational events
Partly builtFollow cost movements to the supplier, purchase order and production record behind them. This needs the warehouse and production data to be connected.
04
Follow transactions and evidence
In the productOpen the ledger lines and source documents behind any account figure.
05
Quantify contribution to the variance
In the productSee which customers and products account for most of the change.
06
Preserve an auditable investigation path
In the productEvery drill-down keeps its path back to the source record, and AI-assisted findings are labelled as such.
07
Move from explanation to forward impact
Partly builtCarry a finding into a scenario or forecast to see its effect on cash and profit.
08
Turn findings into management action
Partly builtHand findings to the decision-support and collections screens. Automatic action tracking is not built yet.

PredictLine approach
Connect the signal to the business behind it.
PredictLine is designed to help teams move from a metric to the evidence behind it, then from evidence to a better decision.
- Trace the financial result
- Explain the operational drivers
- Predict the forward impact
- Decide with context
