Why Spreadsheets Alone Don't Work

Unbearable swarming pain, that every Excel user knows.

Grumpy Baby Bear Illustration

Manual Re-entry & Version Chaos

  • Hours lost copying values into new workbooks or tabs again (and again).
  • Multiple "final-plan_v4 (updated) 2.xlsx" files—none of which you truly trust.

Unquantified Uncertainty

  • "What-if" analysis that never captures the full range of possibilities.
  • Key risks left unmodeled until it's too late.

Hidden Pitfalls & Missed Opportunities

  • Without proper grouping or probabilistic weighting, you focus on the wrong scenarios.
  • Blind spots in complex models lead to sub-optimal decisions.

Lack of Communication

  • Stakeholders want "why," not just "what."
  • Hard to package a clear narrative behind your numbers.

Save Time & Eliminate Errors

Automate scenario generation and maintain a single source of truth

Automated Scenario Generation

  • Generate 100+ variations in seconds—no more manual "save as" or cut-and-paste.
  • One master workbook stays intact, so updates and corrections happen once, everywhere.

Single Source of Truth

  • Avoid version control nightmares. Make a change once; test it across all scenarios instantly.
  • No more juggling "final" spreadsheets—just one live model.

Gain Deeper Insight

Understand probabilities, visualize data, and analyze smart groupings

Probabilities by Design

  • Assign probabilities to each area of uncertainty; Bear Decisions auto-calculates combined likelihoods for each scenario.
  • Focus on what's most likely, not just theoretically possible.

Clear Visualizations & Aggregations

  • Range Charts, Heatmaps, and Cumulative Distribution Plots reveal drivers of risk and opportunity.
  • See Expected Value, Min/Max, Median, or a Decision vs Uncertainty grid with a click.

Smart Grouping & Analysis

  • Instantly group outcomes by Decision, Uncertainty, or Instance to pinpoint critical risk drivers.
  • Avoid sub-optimal preselection—evaluate all 10s or 100s of cases to find hidden opportunities.

Make Confident Decisions

Back-populate scenarios and understand the reasoning behind each choice

One-Click Back-Population

  • Select a preferred scenario and push it directly into your Excel model—no re-entry needed.
  • Iterate and refine in real-time, maintaining existing formulas and macros.

Understand the "Why," Not Just the "What"

  • Drill into each scenario to see how incremental tweaks affect outcomes.
  • Build narratives around risk: show stakeholders why a given choice makes sense, backed by hard numbers.

Communicate & Collaborate

Create presentation-ready visuals and build stakeholder confidence

Presentation-Ready Visuals

  • Export charts and data behind them instantly—embed into slide decks or reports.
  • Stop cobbling screenshots together; share interactive insights.

Built-in Confidence Levels

  • Quantify downside risks and upside potential to remove guesswork from decision-making.
  • Stakeholders see the full landscape: best-case, worst-case, and everything in between.
