POVA / ORE

Observed Rules Engine

We mine your operational data for the rules that actually govern performance. Capacity constraints. Timing effects. Factor combinations. The patterns hiding in plain sight.

What is ORE

Your organization
has rules.

Not the rules in your policy manual. The real rules — the ones that actually determine why some days flow smoothly and others don't. Why some teams hit targets and others struggle with identical resources.

These rules are buried in your operational data. ORE extracts them.

Example discovered rule

"When warehouse staffing drops below 12 during the 2-6pm window, next-day fulfillment rates fall by 34% — regardless of total daily headcount."

Capacity rule Timing effect

Like mining for ore.
The value is there. It just needs extraction.

Your data contains thousands of operational insights. Most analytics tools show you dashboards of what happened. ORE discovers why — the underlying rules that, once known, let you optimize deliberately instead of accidentally.

What We Discover

Rules that matter.

speed

Capacity Rules

Where resource levels create inflection points. Not linear relationships — the thresholds where performance changes dramatically.

Examples

  • • Staffing minimums by time window
  • • Queue depth breaking points
  • • Processing volume thresholds
schedule

Timing Rules

When timing changes everything. The windows that matter, the sequences that succeed, the delays that compound.

Examples

  • • Optimal processing windows
  • • Delay cascade patterns
  • • Seasonal performance shifts
join

Combination Rules

Factor interactions that aren't obvious alone. The combinations that predict success — or failure.

Examples

  • • Team composition effects
  • • Product-channel fit patterns
  • • Multi-factor triggers
reorder

Sequence Rules

Order dependencies that change outcomes. When A before B succeeds but B before A fails.

Examples

  • • Process order optimization
  • • Approval chain effects
  • • Onboarding sequences
block

Constraint Rules

Hidden bottlenecks and binding constraints. The real limiters that aren't where you think they are.

Examples

  • • True bottleneck identification
  • • Hidden dependency chains
  • • Resource contention patterns
stars

Excellence Rules

What top performers do differently. Not opinions — statistically validated patterns of success.

Examples

  • • Best practice validation
  • • Outlier success factors
  • • Replicable excellence patterns

How It Works

Deep extraction.
Not surface dashboards.

ORE runs on the POVA engine — the same deep analysis infrastructure that powers our fraud detection. It examines your organization from every point of view, testing millions of potential rules against your actual operational data.

01
database

Ingest

Your operational data — transactions, workflows, resource logs, performance metrics. Everything that records how work actually happens.

02

Applications

Where ORE delivers.

Operations

Process Optimization

Discover which process variations actually perform better. Find the real bottlenecks. Understand why some days flow and others don't.

Workforce

Staffing & Scheduling

Uncover the staffing rules that matter. Not just headcount — the specific configurations, timing, and compositions that drive outcomes.

Performance

Branch & Unit Analysis

Understand why some locations outperform others. Extract the operational rules that separate top performers from the rest.

Cost

Activity-Based Insights

True cost drivers discovered from data. Not allocated overheads — the actual operational factors that determine resource consumption.

in your data?

Your organization has patterns it doesn't know about. Constraints it can't see. Opportunities buried in the noise. Let's find them.
