GROW THE KNOWLEDGE IN YOUR TEAM

Models that are easy to understand and to hand over

A trusted model clearly exposes its logic, inputs and outputs, assumptions, transformations and parameters. River structures this knowledge and saves it in the model, without formulas. 

Easy handovers between modelers keep the knowledge in your team. Experts, clients and managers can review and validate the model smoothly. 

• Explore the structure of the model with the visual model map on the left. Zoom out to see the big picture, browse comments, transformations and data connections.
• Visualize parameters of transformations in the configurator  window on the right to understand how they work. All visual, no need to decipher formulas.
• Explore data at any point intuitively in Excel Tables to confirm the results match your expectations. Filter, sort, color, cross-check.
• Model documentation is automaticlally created from the model. No need to repeat it.  Export as a document or PDF.

SCALE THE IMPACT OF YOUR MODELS

Update models efficiently and with confidence

Refreshing input data, changing assumptions and editing scenarios are typical of a model's lifecycle, often done right before (or during) critical meetings. 

River is designed to make all these changes efficiently while keeping confidence in the results. Even modeling logic changes can be done reliably at short notice.

• Update inputs and assumptions without ambiguity: click each yellow and pink block and update the Excel Tables that show automatically. 
• Update scenarios in one click. The scenario manager lets you add or update scenarios in one click, without having to touch a formula.
• Detect issues in new data before they affect results. Built-in quality checks automatically run, showing red warning signs e.g. if a value is missing where it shouldn't.
• Change logic without rebuilding the model. The model map lets you swap built-in operators or reroute data with confidence. The error detectors will let you know if something is off.

RADIATE EXPERTISE BEYOND THE SPREADSHEET

Share your model, keep control of the logic

Most Excel models end up as a static report. The logic you spent months building stays locked in cells, only its author can really read it, and most people only ever see a chart of the result.

River turns that logic into something you can reuse, share and build on.

• Widen your audience. One click publishes your model as a web app for your colleagues, clients or the public.
• Control what they can change. Decide whether viewers only explore your scenarios or build their own by adjusting assumptions and inputs. The model's logic stays exactly as you built it, so results are never hallucinated.
• Unlock the knowledge in your model. Every assumption, driver and relationship is explicit. Export the model as Markdown and AI tools can write complete, reliable documentation from it.
• Make it code native. Extract the model's logic and data as SQL code and CSV files, and plug them into your own data pipelines, applications and tools.
