Real maths, done properly.
A dedicated engine works out the totals, comparisons, correlations and statistical checks behind every answer.
The platform
An intelligence layer between your data and the answer.
ORE stands for Operational Response Engine. A real calculation engine works out every metric, trend and forecast first, then the AI explains what it means in plain English. Exact numbers, real statistics, no invented trends.
- user question
- intent extraction
- query execution
- analytics engine computes
- structured result
- AI narrative interprets
- reply, chart and action
The principle
The AI is the narrator, not the calculator.
Generic AI tools hand raw rows to a language model and hope it spots the trend. ORE flips this: every figure is pre-computed, and the model only translates.
Grounded narration.
The model receives the finished result and is told plainly that these numbers are exact and must not be recalculated.
Lead with what matters.
Every answer opens with the single most important finding, then the action.
Analytics engine
Ask the questions you actually have.
ORE works out whether you're asking for a ranking, a trend, a comparison or a root cause, runs the right calculation, then picks the right chart and the right action for you.
Rankings and share
"Top customers by revenue." ORE groups, totals and sorts, works out each one's share and draws a clean bar chart.
Trends over time
ORE measures the real trend and how strong it is, so "is revenue actually declining?" gets an honest answer, not a guess.
Period comparisons
"Compare Q1 to Q2." It sums each period, computes the change and shows them side by side.
Composition
"Revenue by channel." Share of total across categories, charted to suit how many there are.
Correlation
How strongly two things move together, and whether the link is real or just coincidence.
Root cause
A change broken down contributor by contributor, so you can see exactly what moved the number and by how much.
Forecasting
See what's coming, not just what happened.
ORE forecasts using your weekly and yearly patterns, and stays deliberately conservative when there isn't much history. Either way you get a clear range, not false precision.
- Revenue projection. Growth or decline over the next 90 days, with upper and lower bounds.
- Demand by SKU. Per-product forecasts ranked by recent demand, so you order ahead of the curve.
- Days to stockout. Velocity against stock on hand and lead time, as a ranked reorder list with the supplier named.
Forecast revenue for the next quarter.
Revenue is trending up, projected +12% over 90 days, from $1.84M to $2.06M.
Prospectors
A team of AI analysts that never clocks off.
Prospectors are ORE's autonomous analysts. Each one watches part of the business: inventory, purchasing, sales, customers, logistics, finance, operations or marketing. They run every hour, work out what changed since last time, reason about what it means and act on it.
- Anomaly detection. The freight cost, order or supplier behaving differently from the norm, tagged by severity so you know what to look at first.
- Change detection, not alert spam. What's new, what's resolved and what's getting worse since the last run, not every time a number crosses a line.
- CriticalInventory09:00
SKU-0225 cover fell below supplier lead time. Stockout expected in 11 days.
- HighLogistics09:00
Meridian Freight regional delays up to 2.1 days average, from 0.8 last month.
- MediumFinance08:00
Freight rose to 7.4% of order value. Three customers now above the 10% threshold.
- InfoSales07:00
Resolved: Initech order frequency back to normal after two quiet weeks.
Signals
The right insight reaches the right person.
Finding the answer is half the job. Signals turns an insight into team action, right where the data lives.
- Share with a note. Pin a finding to a colleague with context. They see it the moment they log in.
- Reply and @mention. Questions and decisions stay attached to the data that prompted them.
- Prospectors raise them for you. Critical findings go straight to whoever owns that area: finance issues to finance, supplier risk to procurement.
Daniel pinned a chart for Leo
Globex Corp dropped 45% this quarter. That's $312K of annual revenue at risk. Worth a call this week.
Leo replied
On it. They're switching suppliers for one product line. I'll offer a volume discount to keep the rest.
Prospector escalated
Routed to Leo, as owner of the Globex account.

Inventory
Quantity on hand, reorder points, inventory value and velocity, the basis for every stockout projection.
Shipments and freight
