Three modules, one loop: the engine carries the number, people carry the reason, memory carries both forward.
Sense
Sense builds the bridge from plan to actual, effect by effect, and closes it at zero. Then it goes down: channel, customer, product, a single product at a single customer.
October 2026 · Contribution profit
From plan to actual, effect by effect.
Four effects add up to −$130,046.01. Unexplained: $0.00.
The profit bridge, built from columns of sand: plan, the four effects and actual.
Sense · Views
Two more views on the same data as the bridge: Palm opens any figure by channel and by pack size, Dune puts every product on one map.
Palm
Open any number: channels on one side, pack sizes on the other. Here a small gain hides two losses: one channel and one pack sold below plan. Every box shows its share of the change.
Sold whereChannel
In which packPack size
Dune
Every product on one map. Left of the line sold below plan, right of it above; higher on the map means a better margin. Turn it to the side and you see what that did to profit: gains rise as peaks, losses sink as pits. Drag to turn it yourself.
