Governance

Governance built into
every plan.

Every plan carries its version, ownership, permissions, approval state and definitions with it.

Which version
is approved?

Versions

One live plan. Previous versions remain traceable.

Who can view,
edit or approve it?

Access & approvals

Permissions and approvals follow the business hierarchy.

What changed —
and who changed it?

History

Every change records who, what, when and against which version.

Where did this
number come from?

KPI standards

Definitions and calculations are governed once and used throughout the cascade.

Get started

Set up your own cascade.

Getting started is easy. Import the plans you already use, keep your existing KPI names, or start with industry-standard definitions. You don't have to rebuild your planning process from scratch.
