1️⃣Insight Type 1 - Based on Contribution

The first type of insight PresightIQ suggests to you is the direct sub-segment of the metric where there was the biggest gap between its expected contribution to the metric value and its actual contribution.

For example:

Sales of Region Europe - based on historical trends, seasonality and levels - was expected to contribute 50% to Total Sales for March 2023. But when the numbers came back, it actually contributed only 30%, and thus we have a gap of 20% (50% - 30%).

Comparing this 20% with results of similar calculations for other segments, we see that 20% is the biggest gap. Presight will then recommend Region Europe to you for this first type of insight.

To make sure that all of our recommendations are meaningful to your diagnosis of the anomaly, all segments need to pass a certain threshold of significance in value. So when we say "biggest", think biggest of all the significant enough segments.
