Adaptive Decision Intelligence

The strategic work
that still lives in spreadsheets.
Solved.

Finance teams spend days pulling data from disconnected systems to provide the answers leadership needs now. ADI provides a single experience where finance and operations teams can ask questions in natural language, model scenarios in minutes, and commit decisions directly into the governed plan — without spreadsheets, data wrangling, or waiting on FP&A to rebuild a model.

From the team

“Turning hours of manual data work into minutes of guided exploration so planning teams can move from a question to a governed decision in the plan before the meeting ends.”

GM, Workday Adaptive Planning

How it works

A planning team
using ADI in practice.

Connect plans with operational data

Combine Adaptive Planning actuals and plan with CRM pipeline, headcount, and project costs to see the full picture behind a performance question.

When a region misses its target, bring together sales pipeline and headcount data to see whether the issue is coverage, conversion, or productivity.

Ask questions, get driver-level answers

Ask direct questions in natural language and get clear explanations that connect drivers to outcomes.

“Why did Q3 revenue in EMEA fall short of plan?” returns a breakdown showing how territory coverage, win rates, deal size, and ramping sellers contributed to the gap — with click-through by product line.

Model scenarios, compare side by side

Get recommendations for how to close a gap, compare scenarios side by side, and run Monte Carlo simulations to show a range of likely outcomes.

See the impact of adding sales headcount, shifting quota-bearing roles, or improving win rates — including the effect of each choice on Q4 revenue and margins.

Commit the decision back to the plan

Select the best scenario and save it as the plan going forward.

When leadership approves, ADI commits it back to the governed plan with assumptions, data sources, and approval chain intact — no export, no re-entry.
