Use Cases
ExCom.ai is the governed decision and execution layer. Here's how organisations use it to make decisions explicit, accountable, and traceable.
Decision Governance & Compliance
Problem: Decisions happen everywhere — spreadsheets, emails, meetings — with no record of who decided what, or why. When outcomes fail, accountability is unclear. When audited, proof is missing.
Solution: ExCom.ai captures decision logic as executable playbooks. Every decision flows through defined governance rules. Full audit trails document who approved what, when, and based on what data.
Results:
- 100% auditable decision trails
- Clear accountability when outcomes fail
- Compliance-ready documentation automatically generated
- Reduced risk from ungoverned decisions
Executive Decision Support
Problem: Leaders need answers fast, but data is scattered across systems. Even when answers arrive, there's no record of the reasoning behind decisions.
Solution: Ask questions in plain language, get answers from your actual data — with full context. "Who approved this?" "What was the policy?" "What data did we have?"
Results:
- 60% faster governed decision cycles
- Decisions grounded in documented data
- Clear authority and approval chains
- No more "I thought we agreed"
Operations Governance
Problem: Operations span multiple systems. Decisions are made at every level. Visibility is fragmented. When something goes wrong, tracing back is impossible.
Solution: End-to-end visibility with governed decision points. KPI monitoring triggers governance workflows when thresholds are crossed. Every operational decision documented.
Results:
- 30% improvement in process efficiency
- Early detection of governance exceptions
- Traceable decisions at every level
- Clear responsibility when issues arise
Customer example: A government entity achieved 100% auditable performance decisions across 12 departments.
Process Automation with Accountability
Problem: Business processes span systems that don't talk to each other. Automation exists, but without governance — who approved the automation logic? Is it compliant?
Solution: Context Mesh bridges systems and captures business logic as governed playbooks. Automation follows documented rules. Changes require approval. Execution is logged.
Results:
- 70% reduction in manual work
- Governed automation — not black-box scripts
- Business rules readable by executives, executable by systems
- Complete audit trail of automated decisions
Competitive Intelligence
Problem: Competitive research takes weeks. By the time you have the data, it's outdated. Decisions based on stale intelligence.
Solution: MarketWatch monitors competitors continuously — websites, financials, news, social — and delivers intelligence that informs governed strategic decisions.
Results:
- 90% reduction in research time
- Daily insights instead of quarterly reports
- Strategic decisions informed by current data
Financial Planning & Accountability
Problem: Planning cycles take too long. Finance and operations see different numbers. Budget decisions lack clear ownership.
Solution: Live cash flow projections with governed approval workflows. Budget vs. actual analysis with accountability for variances. AI-assisted forecasting connected directly to your systems.
Results:
- 70% reduction in planning cycle time
- Finance and operations aligned on single source of truth
- Budget decisions with documented approval authority
- Variance accountability built in
Collaborative Decision-Making
Problem: Analysis happens in silos. Teams email spreadsheets back and forth. Decisions emerge from meetings with no record of the reasoning.
Solution: Real-time collaboration where teams work on the same analysis. Every question, every answer, every conclusion captured. When decisions are made, the context is documented.
Results:
- 50% reduction in meeting time
- Full record of collaborative decisions
- Clear attribution — who raised concerns, who agreed
- Accountability without blame
