Business Intelligence

Know what matters. Understand why.

Intelligence operates over the Business Operating Model and contextualized evidence. Raw data can be accessed when required. The primary reasoning context is the business model plus relevant evidence. This is not conventional BI.

  1. Observe
  2. Understand
  3. Identify
  4. Explain
  5. Recommend
  6. Human Decides
  7. Execute
  8. Measure
  9. Learn

The intelligence loop

Observe → Understand → Identify → Explain → Recommend → Human Decides → Execute → Measure → Learn.

  • Discovery — find information, relationships, changes and gaps
  • Business understanding — build coherent organizational understanding
  • Business Situation management — represent what is material
  • Evidence and provenance — establish why a conclusion can be trusted
  • Business analysis — interpret impact, cause and leverage
  • Recommendation and advice — provide evidence-backed options
  • Decision Intelligence — keep the human decision explicit
  • Organizational learning — improve future understanding without silently rewriting truth

Business Situation

Delivery risk may be increasing.

Evidence
Milestone slippage on Phoenix. Two dependent vendor dates moved. Implementation capacity is already committed.
Impact
Customer go-live may move by a quarter if the dependency is not resolved.
Cause
The work depends on a vendor capability supporting another high-priority initiative.
Confidence
High. The pattern is supported by schedule and dependency evidence.
Recommendation
Review the vendor dependency and implementation capacity. The recommendation is advisory. A human decision remains required.

What a conclusion is made of

OPSTECH distinguishes observation, evidence, inference and reasoned caution. It also distinguishes what is known, inferred and unknown. Incomplete evidence is represented as uncertainty rather than false certainty.

Material conclusions follow Finding → Evidence → Context → Impact → Options → Recommendation. Confidence describes confidence in a conclusion, not business importance.

A conclusion is made of

  1. Observation
  2. Evidence
  3. Inference
  4. Finding
  5. Recommendation

What is represented

  1. Known
  2. Inferred
  3. Unknown

Attention, not noise

Intelligence should earn attention rather than demand it. Not every change is an alert. Positive signals are surfaced only when they materially improve understanding, validate a decision, demonstrate an intervention, reveal a trend or create an opportunity.

AI conclusions are not to be blindly trusted. Recommendations remain advisory unless explicitly authorized.

Business changes

Prioritized by significance
  • Significant
    Delivery risk may be increasing

    Three projects affected. Potential customer impact if the vendor dependency is not resolved.

  • Attention
    Customer onboarding behind target

    Cycle time increased 18% against the intended outcome.

  • Watch
    System dependency changed

    Two initiatives share a capability that just shifted priority.

The unit of intelligence is the Business Situation.
