An AI analyst that does the data-heavy grunt work across any operational domain — root cause investigations, performance benchmarks, evidence-backed reviews — so your team spends less time in spreadsheets and more time on the judgment calls that actually move the business.
Real investigation output — causal reasoning, counterfactual proof, and actionable recommendations, all grounded in your data.

The Problem
Operations, portfolio, and category teams face the same structural problem: the data needed for a decision lives across multiple systems, pulling it together is manual, and by the time the analysis is ready, the window has narrowed.
Pulling data, reconciling sources, running calculations, and formatting a review burns days of analyst time before the actual decision conversation even starts.
Analysis from last quarter lives in a one-off deck or email thread. When the next review arrives, teams rebuild the same analysis from the same raw data with no memory of what they already found.
Root causes identified in one review don't carry into the next. Teams keep rediscovering the same drivers because there's no institutional memory between decision cycles.
The Solution
RQVST does the analyst's grunt work — data pulls, root cause decompositions, performance benchmarks, evidence-backed reviews — so your team focuses on the judgment and strategy that actually drives results. Ask in plain English, get answers grounded in your data.
Ask a complex operational question and get a full multi-step investigation: data pulls, decompositions, benchmarks, and root cause analysis — all in one pass.
From question to root cause in minutes
Automatically compare performance across units, suppliers, categories, or time periods. Flag outliers, quantify gaps, and rank contributors by impact.
Always know where you stand
Every claim is verified against actual query results from your data. When RQVST says margins compressed 340 bps, it shows you the exact query and source rows behind it.
Zero hallucinated numbers
RQVST traces the causal chain from signal to root cause — not just "margin is down" but why, from which driver, and where to act first.
Root cause, not just symptom
Every analysis, finding, and recommendation is logged. When the next review cycle starts, RQVST recalls what was already found so context compounds instead of resets.
Learnings compound, not repeat
Pull performance data, run standard calculations, and produce a structured review scorecard automatically. Works for portfolio diagnostics, vendor reviews, and category scorecards alike.
Reviews in minutes, not days
How It Works
Connect your operational, financial, and market data. RQVST maps your data model so your team can ask questions in plain English — no SQL, no exports.
Ask a quick question or launch a deep investigation. RQVST pulls the data, runs the calculations, and verifies every number against source queries before surfacing an answer.
Get structured findings with a full causal trace: what happened, why, and which driver to act on first. Every claim links back to the underlying data rows.
Act on recommendations and track outcomes. RQVST remembers what worked so your next review cycle starts smarter than the last.
Use Cases
RQVST handles the analysis behind portfolio reviews, vendor meetings, supply chain triage, and category decisions — so your team spends less time pulling data and more time making calls.
Decompose EBITDA variance, identify operational gaps, and build an evidence-backed improvement roadmap within the first 100 days.
"What's driving the margin gap vs. our LBO model at Acme Co?"
Rank portfolio companies by EBITDA margin, growth, and operational efficiency. Surface which companies are underperforming vs. peers and why.
"Rank our portfolio by EBITDA margin and show me the top 3 operational drivers"
Quantify value creation since acquisition, attribute improvements to specific initiatives, and build an evidence-backed story for the exit process.
"Show me EBITDA improvement attribution since our acquisition of Acme Co"
When a portfolio company signals distress, quickly decompose what's driving it — volume, pricing, cost structure, or mix — before the next board call.
"Acme Co revenue is down 12% this quarter — what's the root cause?"
Decompose aggregate fill rates to the supplier and SKU level. Identify which shortfalls are driving the most lost revenue and where to act first.
"Which suppliers are responsible for our fill rate gap and what's the revenue impact?"
Identify overstock, understock, and slow-moving inventory by SKU, location, and category. Quantify working capital tied up in excess inventory.
"Show me which SKUs have more than 90 days of cover and what it's costing us"
Evaluate supplier performance on fill rate, on-time delivery, margin contribution, and trend. Rank before vendor negotiations or sourcing reviews.
"Rank our top 10 suppliers by fill rate and on-time delivery before the line review"
Reconcile supplier undelivered units against realized lost sales, accounting for inventory buffers and demand variation. Quantify the true revenue impact.
"How much revenue did we lose from supplier shortfalls this quarter?"
Share trends, price index, sell-through rates, and assortment health in one automated scorecard. From question to briefing in minutes.
"Build a Q4 category review with share, pricing, and performance analysis"
Measure sell-through, markdowns, and margin impact across campaigns and seasons. Compare performance across periods and identify what drove results.
"Which campaigns drove revenue without diluting gross margin this season?"
Compare prices against competitive sets by matching items on hierarchy, attributes, and price tier. Flag outliers and quantify the gap to the competitive set.
"Show me where we're priced more than 10% above the category average"
Score every item on revenue contribution, margin, turns, and growth. Identify underperformers for exit and quantify the working capital you can free up.
"Which items should we exit based on margin, turns, and growth trend?"
