The Override Problem Nobody Measures
60-95%
of system forecasts are manually overridden before execution.
~50%
of those overrides make the forecast worse.
Nearly 0%
of enterprises measure the financial impact of those overrides.
Override behavior is visible in every planning system. The financial damage is not.

What Trapped Working Capital Looks Like
What we find every time in live enterprise deployments with planning organizations like yours:
~50% of overrides degrade forecast accuracy – meaning planners actively made the plan worse, at scale, without knowing it.
3–9% measurable forecast accuracy improvement when override decisions were scored for value impact and governed with decision accountability.
Direct dollar figure quantifying working capital trapped by value-destroying overrides – by SKU, by planner, by time horizon.
How It Works
14 Days. 3 Phases. 1 Number.
Days 1–5: Decision Map
We ingest your planning data and capture every override – who changed what, when, and what happened after.
Days 6–10: Value Scoring
Every override is scored against the untouched baseline. Each decision is classified as value-add, neutral, or value-destroy.
Day 14: Executive Readout
A CFO-grade report showing total trapped working capital, the override patterns driving it, and a governance blueprint for which decisions to keep human, which to automate, and which to eliminate.

Full Refund
If We Find Nothing.
If the 14-day diagnostic identifies no measurable value leakage, you pay zero. This has never happened. The data always shows the problem.
30-Minute Executive Working Capital Review
A focused scoping call to determine whether your planning data can reveal trapped working capital – and estimate the range before we start.
We'll cover:
• Data availability and format
• SKU-location scope for the diagnostic
• Estimated working capital release range

The process exists to apply judgment. But judgment applied without measurement is just opinion with a budget.
~50%
of those adjustments destroy value.
They add bias, increase error, and inflate inventory, without improving service levels. The root cause isn't the planning system. It's unmeasured decision quality.
