Frequently asked questions
What is a decision support system?
A decision support system is a human-in-the-loop analytics tool that helps people model major decisions. It lets an executive change an assumption, like price or volume, and see the downstream effect on certified business metrics, with every input traceable to a trusted source.
Does it make the decision automatically?
No. The system frames the trade-offs and shows the downstream effects of each assumption. The person makes the call and owns it. We deliberately keep a human in the loop for high-stakes decisions.
How is this different from a BI dashboard?
A dashboard shows you what happened. A decision support system lets you test what might happen: change an assumption and see the effect on the metrics that matter, with the inputs traced to source so the recommendation holds up under scrutiny.
Why does it need certified metrics underneath?
If the model reads from un-certified numbers, two teams modeling the same decision get different answers. Building on a certified semantic layer means the inputs already agree, so the debate is about the decision, not the data.
What kinds of decisions is this for?
The few that are worth the work: pricing changes, market entry, capacity planning, large investments, major hires. Not day-to-day operational reporting, which a dashboard already handles.
Who owns the model afterward?
You do. We document the assumptions and sensitivity ranges and run an enablement transfer so your team can re-run the model and build the next one without us.
