Everything you need to build a decision model, explore it, run simulations and plans, and ask it questions.

1Overview & getting started

Welcome to CoModel AI. CoModel AI turns your company's data into a living decision model: a deterministic map of how the metrics and decisions in your business influence one another. On top of that model sits an assistant that explains what the model already computed — it never invents numbers or guesses at answers.

The core idea is simple. First you build a model from your own files. CoModel AI discovers the relationships between your metrics, scores how trustworthy those relationships are, and freezes the result. Then you explore it: inspect the influence map, run decision simulations, and ask plain-language questions. Every answer traces back to the deterministic math — so you always know where a number came from.

3Projects home

After signing in you land on My HyperIntelligence Models — a grid of every model you own. Each card shows the model's name, its status (draft, built, or published), and quick actions to open or manage it.

The Projects home grid
The Projects home. The read-only Sample Model card sits alongside the Create New Model card.

The Sample Model

Every account includes a built-in Sample Model in read-only learning mode. It is fully built so you can explore every workspace tab, the Model Map, and the assistant without uploading any data. You can't edit or delete it — it's there to learn from.

To explore it step by step:

Creating a model

Click New Model (or Create a model) to launch the New Model Wizard described in the next section. Once a model is built, it appears as a new card on this grid.

Opening a model

Click a model card to open it into the workspace, where all of its tabs and the assistant live.

4Building a model (New Model Wizard)

The New Model Wizard is a guided, step-by-step flow for turning your files into a decision model. It walks you through identity, uploads, review, and the build.

Step 1 of the New Model Wizard
The New Model Wizard opens at Step 1, Model Identity, then guides you through uploads, review, and the build.

1. Model identity

Give the model a name, a short purpose, and the owning department. This is metadata that helps you and your team recognize the model later.

2. The six-file upload (Company Mode)

A full company model is built from six files. Each one answers a different question about your business:

Need a starting point? The wizard links to downloadable blank templates (correct headers plus a couple of example rows) and completed examples that match the Sample Model, so you can see exactly what each file should look like.

3. Review & validation summary

Before building, CoModel AI validates your files and shows a summary: which files were recognized, how many rows and metrics were found, and any problems it found. Structural errors (missing columns, broken references) are flagged so you can fix and re-upload before building.

4. Build

The build step runs the deterministic engine: it discovers the relationships between your metrics, scores their strength and direction, and assembles the influence map. When it finishes, the model becomes explorable in the workspace.

5. Model Maturity & Planning Trust

After building you'll see two readiness signals. Model Maturity reflects how complete and well-formed your data is. Planning Trust reflects whether the model has everything it needs (including approved Business Facts) to safely support decision planning. CoModel AI also lists improvement suggestions — concrete steps to raise both.

Single-File (Demo) upload

In a hurry, or just exploring? The Single-File (Demo) path lets you upload one wide CSV (metrics across columns, time down rows). It builds a model quickly for analysis and exploration, but decision planning (the optimizer) is reserved for full Company-Mode models with approved facts.

5Workspace shell

When you open a model you enter the workspace — the shell that frames every tab and the assistant.

The model workspace
The workspace: the top navigation and Back-to-Models row run across the top, the Model Assistant sits on the left, and the tabbed model views fill the right (the Current State tab is shown).

Top navigation

Back-to-Models sub-nav

A persistent sub-navigation row gives you a one-click way back to your model grid, so you never lose your place.

Sample Model banner

When you're viewing the read-only Sample Model, a banner reminds you that you're in learning mode and changes won't be saved.

6The workspace tabs

The workspace organizes everything you can do with a model into a handful of tabs. Here's what each one is for.

Current State

A live baseline snapshot of your model's metric values — where things stand right now, according to the data you built from. This is the starting point every simulation compares against.

Decision Simulation

Ask what-if questions. Choose a scenario, compare options side-by-side, and read the predicted outcomes for each metric. Every option shows its trade-offs and a Safe / Unsafe guardrail status, so you can see when a choice would violate a known constraint before you act on it.

The Decision Simulation tab
Decision Simulation: a scenario and its options listed against the current baseline. Pick an option and click Run simulation to see the predicted outcomes.

To run a simulation:

Model Map

The heart of the model: the influence graph. Each node is a metric; each edge shows how one metric influences another. Green edges help (a positive influence) and red edges hurt (a negative influence). Edge thickness and opacity reflect the strength and confidence of the relationship.

The Model Map influence graph
The Model Map: nodes are metrics and edges are influences (green helps, red hurts). Use the toolbar to filter, and the Query Console to ask the graph deterministic questions.
Highlights on the Model Map are purely for exploration — running a query never changes the underlying model. The math is fixed at build time.

Model Maturity

A readable breakdown of data completeness and model readiness. Use it to understand how much of your business the model can currently explain and what would make it stronger.

The Model Maturity tab
Model Maturity: a per-metric Known vs Unknown influence breakdown alongside planning-trust and evidence read-outs.

Advanced

A technical inspector for power users, with sub-tabs such as Summary, Matrices (the raw W / C / P matrices), Diagnostics, Source Files, and Raw JSON. Everything the UI shows elsewhere ultimately comes from this underlying data.

The Advanced inspector
The Advanced tab: a technical summary of the build, with sub-tabs for the raw matrices, diagnostics, source files, the Goal-Seeking Planner, the Facts.md inspector, and raw JSON.

7Goal-Seeking Planner (Monte-Carlo)

The Goal-Seeking Planner lives in Advanced → Planning. Instead of testing one option at a time, you state a goal — move a metric toward a target — and the planner searches for the plan most likely to get you there, ranked by probability of success.

The Goal-Seeking Planner
The Goal-Seeking Planner: a probability-ranked plan with its winning lever set, the candidate funnel, and a link to the Facts.md trace behind it.

Under the hood it runs a deterministic funnel: it generates around 500 candidate plans, screens them for feasibility against your approved levers and guardrails, then runs a staged Monte-Carlo tournament to rank the survivors. The result is read-only — running the planner never changes the model.

Running the planner

Stale plans

A plan is computed against a snapshot of your model's inputs. If those inputs change afterwards, the plan is marked STALE — a reminder to Rerun Planner for an up-to-date answer rather than acting on an out-of-date one.

View Facts.md trace

Every plan offers a View Facts.md trace link that jumps to the Facts.md inspector (next section), so you can see the deterministic facts the plan was built from. The Model Assistant answers planning questions from this same cached result.

Planning is a Company-Mode feature: it needs a planning-ready model with approved Business Facts (an objective and lever rules). The planner is deterministic and read-only — no language model ever produces a number.

8Facts.md inspector

The Facts.md inspector is the Advanced → Facts.md sub-tab: a searchable, deterministic read-through of the model's fact graph — the structured statements (relationships, definitions, objectives, levers, and observed values) that everything else in the model is built from.

The Facts.md inspector
The Facts.md inspector: a ranked, searchable table of the model's facts with their dimension, type, evidence class, status, and confidence, plus a facts.md export.

The inspector exists for verification: it lets you confirm what the model knows and trace any answer or plan back to concrete facts. It is a read-through of already-computed data — inspecting it never changes the model.

The Facts.md inspector is a transparency surface, not a source of new answers. It is generated deterministically from the build, and the Used by Chat column simply classifies whether a fact is eligible to ground an answer — the assistant never invents facts.

9Model Assistant

The Model Assistant is the chat panel on the left of the workspace. Ask questions in plain language — "what drives revenue?", "what happens if we raise price 5%?" — and it routes your question to the model's deterministic answers.

The Model Assistant answering a question
The Model Assistant answering “What does this model do?”. Each answer links to its evidence and sources, and is recorded as llm_used_for_analysis = false.

To ask a question:

Crucially, the assistant never computes or invents results. It interprets your question, picks the right deterministic query, and shows you the answer the model already computed — along with where each answer comes from. If a question is outside what the model supports, it tells you so and suggests what it can answer instead, rather than guessing.

Every assisted answer is recorded as llm_used_for_analysis = false. Any language model only helps route your question and phrase the explanation — it is never the source of a number.
