I'm working on a platform that aggregates a business's operational and financial data and builds a causal model on top, deriving target metrics like FCF or EBITDA. With that model we can forecast different scenarios — what happens if we open a new shop, raise prices, take a loan. We also generate reports: weekly overviews, anomaly detection, deviations from targets. All of this is essentially a harness for an AI agent that customizes the platform for a specific business and integrates its data sources. Large companies have dedicated teams and sophisticated tooling for this; my bet is that small and medium businesses would benefit just as much, and with recent progress in AI it's finally possible to deliver it tailored to each case at very low cost.

My primary target right now is e-commerce due to rich data streams, however if you think your business would benefit from this tool, I would be happy to connect and discuss it.

Good choice on ecommerce. Other planning scenarios are plauged by missing data, estimates and guesses!
