Investment decision platform
Stop guessing which projects deserve investment.
Turn product and innovation assumptions into financial business cases, risk-adjusted scenarios and investment decisions.
Excel calculates. HERO helps you decide.

Interface preview. No data is calculated in this view.
Investment decisions are made on spreadsheets nobody trusts
Models live on a laptop, assumptions are undocumented, and the committee argues about numbers instead of decisions.
Unauditable models
Every project uses a different spreadsheet with different formulas and no version history.
Invisible assumptions
Growth, churn and adoption rates are typed into cells with no evidence attached.
No risk adjustment
A single optimistic case is presented as if it were a forecast.
Decisions without criteria
Approval depends on who presents, not on thresholds agreed in advance.
How it works
A deterministic pipeline from assumption to capital allocation. The engine calculates; AI only explains.

Financial analysis you can defend
Deterministic TypeScript engine. Money as exact decimals, rates as decimals, no floating-point drift, no model generated by a language model.
- NPV, IRR, ROI, payback and discounted payback on a single cash flow model
- Break-even, contribution margin and profitability index
- Three-scenario modelling with explicit driver deltas
- Tornado and sensitivity grids over the drivers that actually move the case
- Reverse solver: the value a driver must reach for the case to clear the hurdle rate
AI decision intelligence
The AI layer reads the results the engine produced. It never produces or alters a number.
- Plain-language interpretation of why a case passes or fails
- Assumption challenge: which inputs carry the decision
- Evidence gaps flagged before the committee meets
- Draft rationale attached to every stage-gate decision
Portfolio optimization
Compare projects on the same criteria and allocate a finite budget.
- Ranking by risk-adjusted return under your own scoring policy
- Capital allocation against a budget constraint
- Stage-gate pipeline across the whole portfolio
- Executive dashboards for the investment committee
