The strategy office decides what gets funded, what gets stopped and what a trade-off really costs. Lodestar wires every KPI to the initiatives that move it, so drifted spend surfaces itself and every reallocation is priced before the committee meets.
A strategic outcome with no funded initiative behind it is a gap. An initiative advancing no outcome is drift. Both are visible on the same screen — with owners and required evidence.
What-If Studio forks the whole program, runs the engine on the copy and tells you what moving money or dates actually does — end date, cascade, benefit exposure.
The Strategy & Planning agent reads the portfolio every cycle and reports where spend has drifted off strategy — priced, owned and ready to act on.
Pillar → initiative → project → activity in one connected model, drillable to the evidence.
Every measure with a named owner, target, actuals source and required cadence.
Effort- or budget-weighted, and the platform always discloses which basis it used.
Fork the program, run the engine on the copy, price the trade-off before the meeting.
Initiatives that advance no outcome, and outcomes with nothing funded behind them.
PDF, PPTX, DOCX and live dashboards generated from the same calculation.
A 45-minute working session: we load a slice of your portfolio and show the roll-up, the exceptions Polaris finds, and the pack it generates.
