Analytics

ValuePact analytics turn raw value data into actionable intelligence. Use them to validate assumptions, compare against peers, forecast outcomes, and communicate confidence to stakeholders. Analytics are available across the Value Studio, Dashboards, and Layer 6 Benchmark Service.

Analytics capabilities

Capability What it does Where to find it Key output
ROI Analytics ROI dashboards, sensitivity analysis, what-if scenarios Value Studio → Calculator Simple ROI, NPV, payback, confidence
Forecast Analytics Forecast accuracy, scenario comparison, trend extrapolation Analytics → Forecasts MAPE, bias, tracking signal
Value Realization Analytics Realization rate, variance decomposition, attribution Analytics → Realization Realization rate, variance by driver
Trend Analysis Time-series views, anomaly detection, seasonal adjustment Analytics → Trends Trend lines, anomaly flags, adjusted series
Benchmarking Peer comparison, percentile rankings, industry benchmarks Layer 6 Benchmark Service Percentile, peer median, assessment
Interpreting Analytics How to read charts, common misinterpretations, confidence levels Analytics → Help Confidence thresholds, best practices

How analytics fit the workflow

  1. During modeling — Use ROI Analytics and Benchmarking to ground assumptions in peer data.
  2. During validation — Use Forecast Analytics to compare scenarios and test robustness.
  3. During execution — Use Value Realization Analytics and Trend Analysis to track actuals against plan.
  4. During reporting — Use Interpreting Analytics to explain confidence and avoid miscommunication.

Role-based entry points

Start with ROI Analytics to validate your value model. Then move to Benchmarking to see how your assumptions compare to peers.

Review Forecast Analytics and Trend Analysis to configure tolerances, seasonal models, and anomaly sensitivity for the tenant.

Focus on Value Realization Analytics and Interpreting Analytics to understand portfolio performance and communicate results to the board.

Limits and guardrails

Limit Analytics queries time out after 60 seconds. Limit Benchmark comparisons are capped at 1,000 peer records per query. Limit Scenario storage is limited to 10 per account.

Troubleshooting

Issue: Analytics page shows no data

Cause: The initiative has no approved value model, or actuals have not been entered. Resolution: Complete the value model in Value Studio and enter baseline and actual values. Verify the account has at least one approved business case.

Issue: Benchmarking returns no datasets

Cause: Layer 6 Benchmark Service is unavailable, or no datasets match your industry. Resolution: Check Governance → Health for Layer 6 status. Ask an admin to upload a custom dataset if needed.

Issue: Forecast accuracy metrics are blank

Cause: Fewer than 3 data points exist for the selected driver. Resolution: Enter at least 3 periods of actuals in the Realization Plan tab before running forecast analytics.

Escalation path

For analytics query timeouts or benchmark sync failures, open a support ticket with severity P3 and the account or dataset ID.
