Business Decision Analysis API
Compares a business decision against the evidence and constraints you supply.
Answers: "Can an engine compare our options against the evidence we already have?" For operators and leaders preparing a decision.
Analyses only the brief you supply. It does not fetch market or company data.
Available today
ImplementedImplemented: runs on the shared runtime with supplied material. One bounded development check on 2026-10-12 took 168.7s with 15 model calls and ended "incomplete". That is a development signal, not an evaluation. Customer access is by approved account.
What you send
- Question
- Supplied text material
- Text material up to 150,000 characters per run
What comes back
- Decision memo with options, evidence, uncertainties and next steps.
- Findings with the located quote and a support status from claim review
- Release status: released, incomplete with reasons, or failed
- Executed roles, usage and measured cost
Sample
Authored illustration. Written by Encevra to show the workflow. Not customer data and not a recorded model output.
Should we move customer support from email to a shared help desk tool this quarter?
Current: 3 agents answer 1,900 emails a month, median first reply 14 hours. Help desk quote: $45 per agent per month, 2 week setup. Agents report 20% of emails are duplicates. CEO note: "We cannot afford new tools until Q3." Q2 tooling budget remaining: $1,500.
- Options compared: keep email, adopt help desk now, defer to Q3
- Conflict: help desk cost against the stated budget freeze
- Missing evidence: how duplicate emails were counted
The real response shape is documented in the API reference.
How the workflow operates
Each role is a responsibility in the workflow, served by a third party language model. More roles are not automatically better; depth and routing decide which run.
Built with
Models this engine uses: OpenAI (GPT), Anthropic (Claude). Specialists run on OpenAI models and the claim review and final brief on Anthropic models. If a provider has a temporary failure, the step can fall back to an OpenAI model, and the run records that.
Problem Framer
Define the decision, objectives, constraints and the questions the material leaves unanswered.
Evidence Analyst
Extract the facts that bear on the decision and check each one is supported by the material as written.
Alternatives Analyst
Develop feasible options from the material, always including keeping the current approach.
Assumptions and Counterargument Analyst
Challenge the premises behind each option and build the strongest objection the material allows.
Decision Analyst
Compare tradeoffs between options and state what evidence would change the recommendation.
Evidence and deployment
Evidence
This engine reads the text you send in the request. Each released finding carries the exact quote and its character span in that text, located mechanically before release. Quotes that cannot be located are labelled Insufficient evidence and never shown as source verified. Interpretation is reviewed as a separate step, and gaps such as a missing clause describe what was searched instead of citing text that is not there.
Deployment
Runs on Encevra hosted infrastructure using the third party models listed above. Every model call and fallback is checked against the deployment policy first. Private cloud and air-gapped deployment are planned; discuss deployment requirements.
What it does not handle
- Decisions without supplied evidence
- Personal, medical or legal advice
- Uses only supplied material. No freshness guarantee beyond the documents provided.
- Required for every output during trials.
How to integrate
Send "engine": "reasoning" with your question and material from your server. Keys stay server side.
How to evaluate it
No published result for this workflow yet. Build a small answer key from your own work and compare against a strong single model baseline. See the evaluation checklist and method.
Cost and rights: pricing and licensing. Showing outputs to your own customers needs a written agreement.
