The decision question
If we change X, what changes because of X, under which assumptions, and does the resulting configuration remain feasible?
Polarstar capability detail
Compare future configurations with inspectable formulas, dependency propagation, constraints and feasibility—not plausible-sounding prose.

What the FDE investigates
Baseline inputs, units, currencies, periods, formulas, operational dependencies, constraints, one-off costs and uncertainty ranges.
What becomes computable
A calculation DAG and typed causal dependencies spanning cost, volume, capacity, cash flow, margin, quality, risk and delivery.
From ambiguity to accountable change
Every engagement connects operational reality to a reviewable model, an authorised action and evidence of what actually changed.
Create isolated scenarios, freeze assumptions, recalculate affected nodes, test constraints and generate an exact dependency trace.
The assistant uses scoped tools to investigate and prepare model or workspace operations. Material changes remain proposals until the right person authorises them.
Baseline and scenario results, formula lineage, feasible/infeasible/unknown verdicts, sensitivities and decision thresholds.
LLMs may interpret intent and explain results; they never decide numerical results. Identical inputs always produce identical calculations.
Illustrative interaction
Illustrative operating pattern—not a customer result or performance claim.
AI-native FDE operating pattern
The FDE can move from a question to investigation and governed action without hiding evidence, calculation or authority.
Clarify the business decision, owner, boundary and success test.
Use only authorised evidence, systems, schemas and workflow context.
Propose business objects, trace dependencies and run deterministic engines.
Show the exact change, limitations and authority required before execution.
Return runtime observations to the hypothesis and decide what changes next.
The FDE acts under the current user’s identity and permissions. Investigation does not create approval.
LLMs help understand and explain. Versioned formulas and constraints calculate the result.
Sources, assumptions, inferences, proposals, decisions and observations retain separate states.

We will define what must be understood, what can be calculated and what evidence is required before change is authorised.
