Post-Game Analysis

Pinpoint Why Value is Leaking in Your Enterprise Planning

Upload your planning data and get clear explanations of forecast accuracy, inventory, and service level. Understand why plans fail—and what it’s costing you—within weeks, not months.

Dashboards show what happened. They don't tell why.

the challenge

Answering what caused the gap is difficult when reasoning is scattered across decks, spreadsheets, and disconnected teams. By the time someone pieces it together, the next cycle is already underway.

The result: ongoing value leakage. PGA changes that with a video replay for enterprise planning. What happened, why, and what to do next.

  • 73%

    of supply chain leaders say they lack visibility into why plans deviate from outcomes.

  • 4-6 weeks

    average time to manually identify root causes of forecast misses at enterprise scale.

  • $XXM

    in excess inventory carried annually due to undiagnosed planning failures.

Post-Game Analysis brings the same discipline to enterprise planning, systematically uncovering what went wrong and why. Executives are realizing the power of post-game analysis.

how it works

Upload. Ask.
Find the why.

PGA is an online post-game analysis capability designed to quickly uncover why performance deviated from plan, without complex system integration or long implementation cycles.
1— Upload your planning data

Item master, historical actuals, and plan snapshots, in whatever format you have.

2— Ask questions in plain language

Ask in plain language: 'Why did forecast accuracy drop in EMEA?' PGA investigates the underlying drivers.

3— Get root causes and next steps

PGA uncovers root causes and identifies where action is needed. First output in 2–4 weeks.

Questions.
Clear Answers.

PGA starts with a small, incremental dataset based on the KPI in scope. Users can provide the data in the format they already have available.

Core Capabilities

Start with one KPI. Expand.

Forecast PGA

Ask: “Can you create an industry benchmark?”

PGA helps uncover the drivers behind forecast misses so teams can move beyond symptoms and focus on the decisions and conditions that shaped the outcome.

Core Capabilities

What makes PGA possible?

  • Hierarchical RCA Algorithms

    Pinpoint root causes across every layer of the planning system — from network-level imbalances to individual decisions.

  • Decision System of Record

    Every decision is captured, contextualized, and traceable — creating a system of record for how the business actually runs.

  • AI Agents

    Turn complex analysis into clear, aligned actions — defining what happened, why it matters, and what to do next.

  • Platform-Scale Computation

    Run root cause analysis across millions of nodes, scenarios, and time horizons in real time.

  • Multi-Version Plan Memory

    Store every version of every plan — and directly compare what was planned against what actually happened.

  • Cross-Domain PGA Orchestration

    Connect improvement loops across functions — turning insights in one area into coordinated action across the enterprise.

The APEX Model

PGA is a key driver of the APEX Operating Model, connecting performance analysis back into planning and decision-making.
It can be used as a standalone entry point or as part of the broader o9 platform.

Helping organizations continuously improve their planning 
and execution.
