How to simulate growth metric changes with your AI

Connect your business data to your agent, then run simulations to see how small changes in specific drivers move your main goal.

Short answer

How do I simulate growth metric changes with my AI?

You define your primary goal and build a driver tree that connects individual business levers to that goal. Your agent then runs simulations to show how improving a specific lever changes your final metric. You'll get a clear view of which levers actually matter.

Where your results land.

The outcomes of your simulation

The AI processes your inputs to produce these four specific outputs.

GOAL

Defined North Star

The AI uses your target to anchor all subsequent driver calculations. You get a single, clear metric to track.

STRUCTURE

Mapped Driver Tree

The agent builds a hierarchy of business levers. You see exactly how sub-metrics feed into your main goal.

IMPACT

Simulated Improvements

The AI calculates the mathematical impact of changing a specific lever. You get a prediction of the new North Star value.

HUMAN

Strategic Decisions

The AI provides the data, but you decide which levers are actually worth the effort. You own the final business strategy.

The workflow

What your AI does when you start simulating.

The agent handles the math and the structural mapping so you can focus on the strategy.

  1. Set the target

    The agent establishes the primary metric you want to move. This acts as the foundation for the entire model.

    set_north_star_goal

  2. Build the hierarchy

    The agent organizes your business drivers into a logical tree. It links every sub-metric to the primary goal.

    configure_driver_tree

  3. Run the math

    The agent calculates the downstream effects of changing a specific variable. It shows the resulting change in your North Star.

    simulate_lever_improvement

  4. Analyze results

    The agent presents the simulated outcomes based on your inputs. You review these to find the highest-leverage moves.

FAQ

Common questions

  • 01

    Can the AI change my actual business data?

    No. The AI only performs simulations and modeling based on the parameters you provide.

  • 02

    Does the AI decide which business levers to pull?

    No. The AI calculates the impact of the levers you choose, but you make the final strategic decisions.

  • 03

    Can I use this to track real-time metrics?

    No. This tool is for modeling and simulating hypothetical changes, not for real-time monitoring.

  • 04

    How does the AI know how my metrics are related?

    The AI builds these relationships through the driver tree you configure.

  • 05

    Can the AI delete my existing models?

    No. The AI only interacts with the model through the specific tools provided in the manifest.
