November 15, 2024

New features

  • KPI Heatmap: This is a new feature that shows model predictions and data trends for each vendor mapped to every KPI for a company, allowing you to better scan across vendor models and data at once.

  • KPI Screener: Improved filtering user interface to make it easier to apply filters for beat/miss, models with low error, high hit rate, etc. Any filtering / sorting you apply is also persisted.

September 4, 2024

New features

  • Exabel Models: "Exabel models" are KPI prediction models that are automatically trained and run using the KPI mappings from Exabel's vendor integrations, based on your unique set of subscriptions. This avoids the need for users to run and share models themselves. Note that Exabel models use only Exabel's curated KPI mappings and not any custom KPI mappings that you create - to utilize these, you will still have to run your own custom models. We are working with customers to run these on their companies of interest, but it is also possible to run such models for additional companies by clicking "Run" in the KPI Analyzer.

Improvements

  • KPI Analyzer: Removed the "Mappings" and "Models" columns in the multi-company KPI Analyzer, to streamline the feature for screening of KPI prediction results.
