Value maps for manufacturing transformation.
Score a portfolio of operational improvements against your company's real financial baseline. Every dollar of impact traceable to a specific measure, link, and finance line. Built for the project team that does the analysis and the CFO that signs off on it.

How the platform works
From process gaps to dollars, in three questions
Each site answers the next question and carries your work forward, so nothing is re-entered.
What's it worth?
The concept
A value map is a portfolio of operational changes, scored against a real financial baseline.
The math chain
Use case → measure → finance line → EBITDA. Each link in the chain is named, weighted, and inspectable. No black boxes.
The financial anchor
Industry-typical defaults pre-fill the baseline at your revenue scale. Override the accounts where you have actuals. Save an immutable snapshot the math runs against — while your deployment assumptions (costs, lead times, what you already own) live on their own always-editable surface.
The transparency contract
Every contribution is auditable to its raw inputs and every intermediate the engine applied. A CFO can challenge a single link without unwinding the whole answer.
Who uses it
Built for the team that owns transformation.
The CFO is the consumer. The project team is the operator. ValueMaps gives each of them the surface they need on the same underlying model.
Project team
Run the analysis
Continuous-improvement leads, transformation PMs, digital-ops engineers. Build the baseline, scope the portfolio, walk every measure to every finance line, refine before the executive review.
Finance partner
Audit the math
FP&A or finance business-partner. Inspect every link, every multiplier, every assumption. Push back on a single contribution without unwinding the whole answer.
Executive sponsor
Approve the call
CFO, COO, or VP of Operations. See the headline. Understand what is driving it. Know which assumptions to push the team on.
What you can do today
One shared model, organized the way the work flows: inputs, analysis, results.
Baselines
Capture your company's financial state at the account level. Industry-typical defaults pre-fill at your revenue scale; override any account where you have actuals. Immutable snapshots so the math is reproducible.
Build a baselineDeployment assumptions
One place to own the cost side: deploy and annual cost, lead and ramp time, change-effort, and what you already have — in place, not present, or needs modernization — at the level you actually procure.
Set your assumptionsAudit walk
Pick a portfolio, set the scenario constraints, and trace every link from measure to finance line to EBITDA. Hover any finance line for its contributors; flip to the KPI view for the operational roll-up; regroup the same total through P&L, CESMII, or use-case lenses.
Open the audit walkInvestment roadmap
A funding sequence over the full catalog, ranked by value per unit of change-effort and packed into a yearly deployment timeline. Optimize for NPV or aim it at a KPI — or set a dollar target and get the smallest set of moves that reaches it.
Generate the roadmapScenarios & comparison
Save a baseline + selection + scenario as a named, reloadable artifact. Reopen it, share it with your team, or put two scenarios side by side and see exactly which inputs drive the difference.
View scenariosPrograms & deliverables
Roll scenarios into funded programs with de-confliction and a marginal-value gate, then hand off board-ready artifacts: the URS, the investment review brief, and the value-map report.
Open the company workspaceHow this is different
Not a spreadsheet, not a slide deck, not a consulting black box.
A canonical model, not a bespoke file
Hundreds of canonical measures, thousands of use case-to-measure impacts, an industry-typical financial layer for the baselines. Every project starts from the same library instead of a spreadsheet that lives in someone's downloads folder.
Transparent math, by design
The audit walk shows every link in the chain from operational change to dollar of EBITDA. Every multiplier the engine applied. Every assumption it depends on. Designed for a CFO to challenge.
Industry-anchored, not industry-blind
Hundreds of industry × finance-line typical baselines so even your defaults are calibrated to your industry. Override what you have actuals for; trust the rest.
Reproducible by design
Baselines are immutable snapshots; scenarios are named, reloadable artifacts. Any number that came out of valuemaps can be reproduced months later from the same baseline and the same selection. The CFO who signs off in October can re-verify in January.
Where to start
Three paths in. Pick the one that matches the work.
I want a number to share
Try the KPI calculator
No account needed. Pick a KPI and see what a point of improvement is worth in annual EBITDA at your industry and revenue scale — with the work shown.
Open the calculator →I want a quick estimate
Run the audit walk
No baseline setup. Pick capabilities or use cases, set your industry and revenue, and the engine scores against an industry-typical baseline. Order-of-magnitude envelope, every link inspectable.

Start with a baseline
Capture your company's financials as an immutable snapshot. Then walk a portfolio of use cases through the math against that specific baseline. Audit walk included.
