Run Sensitivity Analysis
Sensitivity analysis applies a uniform variance to KPI values and displays the resulting impact on the outcome.
To run Sensitivity Analysis:
- Select the Sensitivity tab
- Enter a percentage variance
- Select the base field (for example, Actual)

Attribution analysis compares two sets of field values to quantify the contribution of each KPI to the difference between them.
To run Attribution Analysis:
- Select the Attribution tab
- Select a Control Field (for example, Target)
- Select an Analysis Field (for example, Actual)
- Select Run
Output:
A chart and table showing the contribution of each KPI to the difference between the selected fields.
Run Variance Analysis
Variance analysis applies specific changes to individual KPIs and shows the resulting impact on the outcome.
To run Variance Analysis:
- Select the Variance tab
- Select the base field
