Variance where the chart shows the gap but not the cause.

Pluvo vs. the Dashboard
Dashboards are good at visibility — seeing what moved, at a glance. Pluvo is built for the step after the chart: the conclusion. Why it moved, what drove it, what it is worth, and what to do next.
Alternative

Pluvo
Conclusions, not charts
The driver behind a number, not just the number plotted over time.
Root cause and financial impact, not a chart that asks you to go investigate.
Answers traced to source, not a visual whose underlying logic lives somewhere else.
[ The wedge ]
A dashboard tells you something changed. It rarely tells you why, what it cost, or what to do. That gap is where the work still lives.
Board reporting that needs the story behind the line, not just the line.
Revenue or spend analysis that has to end in a decision.
[ Evaluation table ]
The questions to ask before a dashboard becomes your analysis layer.
| Question | The dashboard | Pluvo |
|---|---|---|
| Where do numbers come from? | Queries against a warehouse or BI model, rendered as charts. | Connected source systems, defined metrics, and reproducible calculation paths. |
| Can the result be audited? | The visual can be traced; the interpretation is done by a person. | Each important answer can carry source context, logic, and a reconstruction path. |
| What happens when the business changes? | New questions usually mean a new chart or a request to an analyst. | Metric definitions and entity relationships live in a shared model that agents use consistently. |
| Who is it built for? | Anyone monitoring metrics who then hands off the "why." | Finance and strategy teams that need the answer, not just the view. |

Does Pluvo replace our BI tool?
No. Your BI layer stays for monitoring and visibility. Pluvo takes the next step the dashboard leaves open — explaining why a number moved and what it means.
How is this different from a dashboard with AI summaries?
A summary describes the chart. Pluvo computes the root cause and financial impact from your connected data, and traces the answer back to source.
