Augmenting Decision Making via Interactive What-If Analysis
Summary: Defines four core functionalities for interactive what‑if exploration to expose functional relationships between driver attributes and KPIs, implemented in SYSTEM D. SYSTEM D enables rapid hypothesis testing in marketing‑mix, retention, and deal‑closing use cases and receives positive practitioner feedback with suggested UX refinements.
