The honest version. OperatorIQ sits between the spreadsheet graveyard you live in today and the rip-and-replace platforms you can’t justify - the governance of a planning system, without leaving Excel.
96% of FP&A teams run on Excel - and the model always ends up lost in v30, with broken links and no memory of what changed since v25. The reporting layers bolt dashboards on top of that chaos; the enterprise platforms make you abandon Excel entirely for a six-figure proprietary engine. OperatorIQ takes the third path: keep the spreadsheet, add the version control, diffing, and decision-memory it never had.
We fact-checked the whole field. Datarails, Cube, Anaplan, and Pigment all keep version history now - that part is table stakes. But not one of them captures the decision behind the change: who moved the assumption, why, and what it broke. OperatorIQ pairs a real visual diff with decision-memory on every model - what Git did for code, finally brought to the models your business runs on. That’s the row no competitor can check.
