AI Pipeline Confidence Dashboard
Forecasts fail when data lives in silos. The AI pipeline confidence dashboard centralises metrics, signals, and judgement so leadership can steer the business. Product Brain orchestrates the data, AI interprets it, humans decide.
Gartner reported that companies using AI-driven forecasting improved accuracy by up to 12 percentage points in 2024 (Gartner, 2024). The dashboard operationalises that benefit.

Revenue leaders crave clarity on forecast risk, marketing wants to plug gaps, and finance needs predictability. The dashboard connects the dots.
