Decision Engine

Explore how a business decision takes shape.

The Enterprise Decision Engine is a public experience using built-in sample data. Explore how business objectives, constraints and alternative actions can be reviewed together before discussing a company-specific engagement.

AI-generated illustration of a team reviewing a proposal in a boardroom.

Review the assumptions, not just the recommendation.

Start with one business question. Examine the sample inputs, change the assumptions available in the module, and compare the resulting alternatives. Ask which constraints are binding, what changes when an assumption is wrong, and who should approve the action. The experience demonstrates a decision process; it does not validate production readiness or customer returns.

Operations control tower

When an event hits, the model re-plans and a person decides.

A control tower for a supply network: when demand changes or a supplier stops, the model compares keeping the current plan with re-planning and explains why; nothing runs until you approve. The data is illustrative and the model runs in your browser.

Events

This is an example log produced at build time, approving the three events in turn. With JavaScript, the events arrive live and you approve them.

Demand change Approved

Customer demand revised up

Demand for this batch rises from 1,200 to 1,400 units.

Keeping the current plan: 1,200 of 1,400 units on time

Re-plan: 1,300 of 1,400 units on time (100 more), variable cost $36,085 (+$3,185)

Why Both plants together are at their capacity of 1,300 units; the other 100 units need overtime, outsourcing or a new date agreed with the customer.

Supply risk Approved

Supplier A stops shipping

Supplier A cannot ship its 600 units for this batch.

Keeping the current plan: 700 of 1,400 units on time

Re-plan: 950 of 1,400 units on time (250 more), variable cost $27,400 (+$8,200)

Why Suppliers B and C are fully used at 950 units together; 450 units are still missing and need a new source.

Supply opportunity Approved

Supplier C can supply more

Supplier C raises its capacity for this batch from 500 to 700 units.

Keeping the current plan: 950 of 1,400 units on time

Re-plan: 1,150 of 1,400 units on time (200 more), variable cost $34,400 (+$7,000)

Why The extra 200 units go from supplier C to plant 1 (6 days), inside the 7-day deadline.

Illustrative data · the model runs in your browser · not live client data

The engine is only as useful as its operating evidence.

Prepare governed data products, agree their freshness and definitions, and connect them to objectives, constraints and approval rules. Explore how a lakehouse becomes the data foundation for the Enterprise Decision Engine.

Build the foundation for your decision engine

From exploration to an agreed operating scope.

A company engagement begins with data availability, decision ownership and evaluation criteria. Production scheduling and energy optimization are additional AEVO capabilities, outside the eight public engine modules. The appropriate solution, integration and private deployment requirements are assessed for the agreed workflow.

Explore the decision logic

One business question. Several possible decisions.

Choose a capability to see the information, trade-offs and review outputs it connects. These are conceptual workflows, not live product screens.

Demand & inventory

Explore how demand changes affect replenishment, shortage risks and inventory levels.

  1. Business inputs

    Demand, lead times and stock levels

  2. Compare alternatives

    Replenishment timing and quantity

  3. Review the decision

    Service levels, shortages and stock exposure

Working capital

Compare the effects of receivables, payables and inventory on the cash conversion cycle.

  1. Business inputs

    Receivables, payables and inventory

  2. Compare alternatives

    Collection and payment assumptions

  3. Review the decision

    Cash conversion and liquidity implications

Supply chain risk

Review supplier concentration, delivery variability and sourcing alternatives.

  1. Business inputs

    Supplier concentration and delivery variability

  2. Compare alternatives

    Sourcing alternatives and supply buffers

  3. Review the decision

    Continuity risks and trade-offs to review

Explore the data-to-decision architecture

Every layer has a purpose. Every decision has an owner.

Follow enterprise data from source records to a governed recommendation. Select a stage to see its role, handoff and business relevance.

ML & detailed analysis

Governed Silver datasets can also support ML and detailed analysis. Consumers do not all need the same Gold product.

Data products meet decision logic

Gold supports business data products and BI. Approved datasets enter the Decision Engine together with objectives, constraints and approval rules; analytics alone does not authorize an action.

Bronze — preserve the source evidence

Role in the architecture
Capture source records with timestamps and ingestion metadata, retaining history for the agreed period.
What moves forward
Replayable source snapshots with provenance, ready for validation.
Why it matters to the decision
When a number changes, inspect the original evidence instead of guessing which upstream update caused it.

Silver — establish a consistent business view

Role in the architecture
Validate, deduplicate and reconcile shared entities; standardize identifiers and units, and isolate exceptions.
What moves forward
Defined, validated datasets for downstream business products, ML or detailed analysis.
Why it matters to the decision
Orders, stock and suppliers can share a common meaning before competing plans are compared.

Gold — publish business data products

Role in the architecture
Apply agreed business rules and create purpose-specific datasets, KPIs or features, at the grain each consumer needs.
What moves forward
Documented data products with owners, definitions, refresh times and versions.
Why it matters to the decision
A planning team can see which availability, cost or demand dataset its recommendation relies on.

Decision Engine — compare feasible actions

Role in the architecture
Combine approved data with business objectives, forecasts and operating constraints; evaluate alternatives with AI and optimization.
What moves forward
Reviewable recommendations showing assumptions, trade-offs, binding constraints and input versions.
Why it matters to the decision
A forecast informs the choice; objectives and constraints determine which choices remain feasible.

Review, act & learn

Role in the architecture
Assign an authorized reviewer, apply approval limits and connect execution only within the agreed scope.
What moves forward
Approval and execution records, measured outcomes and feedback for the next reviewed cycle.
Why it matters to the decision
Keep a clear boundary between a suggested action, an approved plan and what actually happened.
