The user value from the Planners Lab is the ability to make recommendations for the future with a greater confidence of being right. With the Planners Lab decision makers know that options have been adequately evaluated. The results are fewer mistakes and fewer surprises as the future turns into history. Decision makers ask many "What If" questions during presentations that recommend courses of action. This always results in meeting adjournments for analysts to return to their spreadsheet software to "crunch some more numbers". The Planners Lab solves this problem by answering questions when they are asked. The Planners Lab is best suited for the analysis of new projects with two characteristics. One characteristic is that the new projects involve investments, trade-offs, alternative solutions, and uncertainty. The second characteristic is that there is benefit for decision makers to be able to change assumptions, i.e. ask "What If" questions, and immediately see the results of those changes.
