Decision intelligence has become a core requirement for teams that want clear next steps rather than long reporting cycles. These platforms bring structure to decisions by combining data, context, and reasoning. This guide provides a structured comparison of twelve platforms used in strategy, operations, finance, HR, legal, revenue, and product teams.
A decision intelligence platform is software that helps teams select next steps by linking goals, constraints, and data through structured reasoning. It reads information from several sources, identifies patterns, and presents clear choices. The platform also shows the steps behind a recommendation for transparency.
Most companies collect large volumes of data, yet decision cycles still slow work. Static dashboards do not support scenario analysis or tradeoff evaluations. Teams need systems that can read data, link context, test options, and explain why a recommendation makes sense. Decision intelligence platforms address this gap.
This comparison uses five criteria. These criteria reflect enterprise decision requirements:
Cross-functional fit: Applicability across different business functions
Foundry supports operational choices in environments with strict workflows. It models entities and events in detail and keeps decisions aligned with real conditions. Common use cases include defense logistics, manufacturing operations, and supply chain management where process control is essential.
Best for: Organizations requiring strict audit trails and operational integration.
Evidence-based capability: Links 50+ operational data sources with sub-second query response for real-time operational decisions.
C3 AI provides industry templates for asset-heavy and regulated sectors. The platform uses model outputs and rule logic to guide choices. It suits organizations with stable processes and clear domain patterns.
Best for: Energy companies, utilities, and heavy industrial operations with predictable workflows.
Evidence-based capability: Pre-built models for 14 industry verticals reduce implementation time from months to weeks.
GREEN is an AI Analyst designed for teams that need clear next steps based on linked data and context. It reads files, joins data, tests scenarios, and explains results with SQL and reasoning notes.
Cross-source pattern detection: GREEN compares CRM.csv and Marketing.xlsx, identifies that leads from paid search convert 3.2x better than organic when MQL score exceeds 75, and calculates the budget reallocation needed for 18% higher pipeline.
Root cause analysis: GREEN links a 23% drop in trial-to-paid conversion to a specific onboarding step change, correlates with support ticket volume, and identifies the exact feature introduction date.
Optimization modeling: GREEN calculates an optimal budget mix across five channels for a 42% target margin, tests three scenarios (conservative, moderate, aggressive growth), and presents tradeoffs with confidence intervals.
Best for: Cross-functional teams that need rapid scenario testing with full reasoning transparency.
DataRobot converts model outputs into suggested actions. Teams use it when accuracy and governance are essential, such as credit scoring and risk workflows.
Best for: Regulated industries requiring model governance and compliance documentation.
Evidence-based capability: Automated model documentation meets SOC 2 and banking compliance requirements with full audit trails.
H2O.ai provides ML tools that support predictive and prescriptive tasks. It suits technical teams that want broad model coverage across business areas.
Best for: Data science teams building custom models for diverse business problems.
Evidence-based capability: Supports 40+ algorithm types with automated feature engineering.
Peak supports commercial decisions such as demand planning, pricing, and inventory. It uses optimization routines and domain schemas that match retail and CPG workflows.
Best for: Retail and consumer goods companies with high SKU counts and complex supply chains.
Evidence-based capability: Processes 100,000+ SKU forecasts daily with inventory optimization across multiple warehouses.
Aisera automates IT, HR, and CX service decisions. It relies on policies and ML to route or resolve requests. It works best in environments with high service volume.
Best for: Large enterprises with 10,000+ employees and high support ticket volumes.
Evidence-based capability: Resolves 60-70% of tier-1 support requests without human intervention.
Quantive guides OKR and KPI decisions. It links goals to measurable actions through rules and analytics.
Best for: Strategy teams managing company-wide goal cascades and performance tracking.
Evidence-based capability: Connects 200+ KPIs across departments with automated progress reporting.
Workday AI supports HR and finance decisions inside a structured object model. It improves planning, role matching, and compensation flows.
Best for: Large enterprises already using Workday for HCM and financial management.
Evidence-based capability: Native integration with Workday objects eliminates data sync requirements.
Ramp and Glean assist finance teams with spend and vendor decisions. They analyze patterns in finance data and present structured choices.
Best for: Finance teams managing corporate spend across multiple vendors and categories.
Evidence-based capability: Identifies 15-20% savings opportunities through spend pattern analysis.
EvenUp analyzes legal and insurance cases. It studies claim patterns and supports consistent evaluation at scale.
Best for: Law firms and insurance companies processing high volumes of similar cases.
Evidence-based capability: Processes 10,000+ case documents per claim with pattern matching across historical settlements.
Squirrel AI creates adaptive learning paths. It models concepts and recommends steps based on student performance.
Best for: Educational institutions and training programs requiring personalized learning paths.
Evidence-based capability: Adapts curriculum in real-time based on 200+ knowledge checkpoints per course.
Teams can use these guidelines to narrow the options.
Example scenario: A RevOps team needs to analyze pipeline health by combining Salesforce data, marketing spend sheets, product usage logs, and support tickets to decide on next quarter's resource allocation.
Example scenario: A utility company needs to predict equipment failure and schedule maintenance using sensor data that fits standard energy industry patterns.
Example scenario: A defense contractor needs to manage supply chain decisions with full audit trails and real-time integration across classified and unclassified systems.
Decision intelligence has moved from experimental to practical. Each platform in this list supports a specific type of decision. Some focus on operations. Some target specific industries. Some support strategy across functions.
GREEN provides multi-step reasoning with a self-learning context model that grows with use. Teams that want clear steps backed by linked data and full explanations can use it as a cross-functional AI Analyst.
The right platform depends on your decision patterns, data landscape, and team structure. Start with one decision loop, validate accuracy, then expand systematically.
