EXPLAINABLE MODELS

Focus on the logic

Your model is a diagram, not a trail of references across dozens of sheets. Group the steps, name them, annotate them. The structure is the documentation.

You can explain it to a client in a meeting, hand it to a colleague who is not an Excel specialist, and pick it up yourself three months later without an afternoon of reverse-engineering.

NO FORMULA LANGUAGE TO LEARN

Configure operations instead of writing them

Configure each operation with visual parameters. River handles the calculation details so you don't have to deal with formulas. 

For instance, in River a Lookup only requires to select the columns to match in the two tables. No risk of error. 10x faster.

BUILT-IN TRUST

Never forget a quality check

River validates every step of your model automatically: inputs, calculations, lookups. If a data update breaks an assumption or silently drops rows, you know immediately instead of finding out in the final numbers.

Update your data with confidence. Spend your time on analysis rather than debugging.

SAFE MODELING

Complex operations made safe

River gives you a toolkit for the operations that are hardest to get right in Excel or in Python.

• Scenario and assumption management
• Multi-column table merges
• Reshaping data (pivot, unpivot, transpose)
• Iterative calculations
• Forecasting

Think VLOOKUP or JOIN, without the risk of a wrong match, and updating automatically when the data changes. 

AI YOU CAN RELY ON

AI leverage, deterministic results

AI is good at producing formulas quickly. It is not good at guaranteeing they are right. With River, the model logic stays deterministic and auditable. 

From there AI can help you make your results distinctive, for instance with the web app publishing feature.

PRODUCTIVITY

Powerful for analysts, not just engineers

River shows you the data at every step, right in the Excel grid. No black box, no guessing what a script is doing.

Excel data goes in and out freely, so you keep charts, formatting and dashboards. And the calculation engine handles tables of millions of rows, well past the point where formulas slow to a crawl.
