Businesses have more AI-generated answers than they know what to do with. But are they the right ones? And can you act quickly enough on them to matter?

Your biggest decisions rarely belong to a single function, system, or source of truth. A margin problem may also be a workforce problem. A growth decision may depend on capacity, cost, demand, and risk. Making the right call means bringing the right signals together quickly without sacrificing the context, governance, and confidence every decision requires.

With Decision Intelligence for Adaptive, you get an AI-powered workspace that turns your trusted data across finance, workforce, and operations into governed, auditable decisions.

Decision Intelligence helps teams move from “Here’s what I found” to “Here’s what we should do” in the same conversation. That means bigger questions, faster scenario modeling, and decisions made while there’s still time to change the outcome.

What makes an answer decision-ready?

Generic LLMs can analyze information and generate a convincing answer. But on their own, they don’t inherently know your chart of accounts, entity structure, drivers, business rules, permissions, or approval chains needed to support an enterprise decision. And without a shared, governed model of the business underneath it, LLMs may act on incomplete or conflicting interpretations of the same data, with the error rate only compounding as you scale.

Decision Intelligence brings the power of LLMs inside the operational reality of your business. It provides a purpose-built workspace that brings context, analysis, governance, and action together. Every answer is grounded in a governed model of your business, while operating inside your own permissions and approval chains so the right people review and authorize the decision. You can trace where a number came from, who signed off, and what actually happened against your governed plan.

Turn insights into action with a governed decision loop.

Decision Intelligence gives teams room to bring in the data a question needs, explore options that may not yet fit the plan, and do it all within your existing security model. Once you choose a path, the decision automatically moves through the right approvals and back into the governed plan.

Instead of moving between disconnected analyses, meetings, and systems, teams can anticipate issues, evaluate options, act on decisions, and learn from the outcome. Everything happens in one governed loop, with assumptions, approvals, and lineage preserved throughout.

Professional & Business Services
Protect margin as pipeline, capacity, and delivery timelines shift

Professional services firms need to constantly balance client demand against delivery capacity. Margin can quickly dip if pipeline changes, project timelines slip, or utilization falls. Decision Intelligence can help you identify what’s driving the gap and what to do about it.

“How should we adjust capacity to preserve margin if our pipeline dips more than 15%?"

01

Anticipate

You see that utilization is slipping against plan as pipeline soften

02

Advise

You can uncover which practices, regions, and roles are driving the gap, and then compare options like resequencing delivery, flexing capacity, or adjusting hiring 


03

Act

You choose the best path, which is then routed for approval and written back into the governed plan

04

Learn

You can track how margin and utilization actually perform so the next capacity decision starts with what worked

Financial Services
Balance profitability, cost, risk, and workforce decisions in one governed process

Financial services firms are constantly balancing rate pressures, shifting regulations, rising compensation costs, and workforce changes that can affect profitability. Decision Intelligence can help you figure out how each may impact P&L and risk in time to proactively protect your bottom line.

“How can we close our profitability gap without creating new risk?”

01

Anticipate

You’re alerted that profitability is tracking below plan as rate, regulatory, and compensation pressures stack up

03

Act

You choose the best path, which is then routed for approval and written back into the governed plan

04

Learn

You can track realized profitability, costs and risk against the committed plan so the reforecast starts from what actually happened

02

Advise

You look at which business lines and cost centers are driving the gap, and then compare cost-takeout and reinvestment scenarios across headcount and compensation levers alongside the risk implications
Healthcare
Protect margin and continuity of care as labor costs and staffing pressures change

Healthcare organizations are constantly balancing the impact of rising labor costs, staffing shortages, and service capacity on their continuity of care. Decision Intelligence can help you see where the pressure is building in your plan and which response will best protect your financial performance and coverage.

“How can we close our staffing gap without putting margin or care quality at risk?”

01

Anticipate

You see that rising labor costs are tracking above plan while staffing gaps are putting margin and continuity of care at risk

03

Act

You choose the best path, which is then routed for approval and written back into the governed plan

04

Learn

You can track realized labor cost, staffing levels, and care coverage against the committed plan so the next staffing decision starts from what actually happened

02

Advise

You can see the units, roles, and skills areas are driving the gap, and then compare FTE, labor cost , and service capacity scenarios side-by-side

Retail & Hospitality

Align labor and capacity to volatile, seasonal demand

Retail and hospitality businesses have to continually adjust staffing as demand shifts by season, location, and time of day. Decision Intelligence can help you avoid overstaffing that erodes margin and understaffing that can hurt service levels and the customer experience.

“How should we adjust our staffing as we enter the holiday season?”

01

Anticipate

You’re alerted when seasonal demand and labor plans start to fall out of sync, putting margins at risk

03

Act

You choose the best path, which is then routed for approval and written back into the governed plan

04

Learn

You can track labor as a percentage of revenue, staffing levels, and site performance against the committed plan so your next staffing decision starts from what actually happened

02

Advise

You can see where the mismatch is by site, week, and role , and then compare demand scenarios against labor cost and site capacity
