Scenario Intelligence for Strategic Finance
From “what if” to “what’s next” in minutes, not months.
Faced with rigid planning platforms and read‑only BI tools, most teams bail out into slow, 2‑dimensional spreadsheets for ad hoc or strategic questions before committing “v13B_final2‑FINAL” numbers back into a planning platform.
Can’t imagine confidently answering hundreds of questions from hundreds of business partners and investors every quarter that way? Neither could we.
That’s why we launched Spindle AI, the world’s best Generative Business Analytics solution for enterprise.
___________: The most reliable AI agents for financial & quantitative analysis
Multi-Valued Assumptions:
Tame Uncertainty & Error
What is the cost of your forecast or plan being wrong?
Traditional FP&A tools and spreadsheets force teams to use single-value assumptions that can't capture the variety of inputs and outputs an enterprise-grade model needs to create confidence. Analysts “mentally handicap” their numbers (in part) for that reason.
Spindle introduces Ranged Values and Multi-Valued Assumptions (MVAs), easily capturing a richer spectrum of possibilities. Spindle intelligently updates & backtests the rest of your model as you use them, making MVAs approachable to analysts and business partners at all levels. Optimizing the final values is as easy as dragging some sliders.
Scenario Landscapes: Simulate Tradeoffs and Pressure-Test Assumptions with a Click
How do you know your “standard three” scenarios are the right ones to plan with?
Rather than picking 3-5 handcrafted scenarios, Spindle AI systematically tests all relevant possibilities & constraints—called a "Scenario Landscape"—to surface insights humans often miss. From hidden drivers to hidden risks & opportunities, leaving no scenario unturned means higher-confidence, higher-resolution decisions… and a dozen contingency plans, just in case.
Simulate tradeoffs and pressure-test ranged assumptions, all from one view, with the first Scenario Analytics Engine designed for enterprise-scale forecasting.
On-the-Fly Multidimensionality: Get nimble with the world’s best tag-based data model
What if you could pivot your analysis from (e.g.) one pricing model to a completely different one in seconds?
When questions, data, markets, or timelines change, models need to change too. With Spindle, no more lengthy up-front schema configuration slowing you down: just tag your values as you go to rearchitect your model on the fly in seconds.
Use Tags to create ad hoc segments, drivers, or breakouts without refactoring any formulas. Slice across geos, SKUs, BUs, channels, or any other dimensions in realtime, even if they're "jagged". What if everything in your model was pivotable—within and between dimensions—no matter how the data was shaped? With Spindle, it is.
Fusion Data Engine: Harmonize data from Excel, SQL, Anaplan, and more
What if analysts were never blocked by data prep?
Import, blend, remap, and audit enterprise-scale data from anywhere in your FP&A stack with schema-flexible processing that effortlessly combines relational & multidimensional data sources.
With AI-assisted data mapping, field alignment, joins, and enrichments are easier than ever before.
Analyze hundreds of millions of rows before all your Excel tabs even finish loading.
Spindle AI doesn't replace your existing FP&A and analytics stack, but rather complements it by accelerating the mission-critical but unpredictable exercises that are inefficient, unintelligent, unscalable, or unimaginable to accomplish in Anaplan, Pigment, or Excel.
Make better decisions with no bottlenecks. Traditional tools limit you to exploring a handful of possible scenarios. Spindle AI runs hundreds instantly, pressure-testing every option before you make the final call.
Keep finance and analytics agile as the business evolves. Spreadsheets and planning platforms lock you in to rigid models — Spindle adapts dynamically, so you can adjust assumptions, dimensions, and structures on the fly. Never start from scratch again.
