Engines for the decisions that matter

Fable connects the systems of record you already run to forecast what happens next, compare the permitted actions and recommend what to do now.

Across revenue, cash, supply, workforce, operations and risk, for UK and US upper-mid-market and enterprise operators.

01EvidenceERP, CRM, billing, vendor-management, workforce and operating records joined at the cutoff02ForecastOutcome, timing and uncertainty estimated before action03DecisionNamed action tied to authority, constraints and expected effect

From five systems to one decision.

Follow one project through the Project Margin Rescue Engine as it joins the cross-system record, forecasts margin with production ML and prices each permitted action through financial attribution.

01Join the operating record

Five systems describe one project five ways. Fable joins them at the weekly cutoff and strikes the figure that no longer holds.

02Forecast the outcome

Production models forecast margin at completion as a range, with the likely timing of a breach and what is driving it.

03Recommend the next action

Every permitted action is priced in margin and cash. One is held for capacity, the rest re-rank and the top action gets an owner.

04Measure the result

Exposure, expected effect and observed outcome are tracked separately, so finance can recognise what the action changed. Every result is fed back to the engine.

Legacy Business Intelligence vs Fable Decision Engines

Reporting remains useful. Fable adds the forecast, constraint logic and action recommendation required to change the next decision.

How it works.

Start with the records already running the operation. Fable makes the decision path visible, measurable and usable inside the existing workflow.

01

Map the decision

We identify the recurring choice, accountable operator, constraints and value at stake.

02

Join the systems of record

Fable connects the ERP, CRM, billing, workforce, supply, asset and operational records that inform the choice.

03

Work the recommendation

Your team receives a named action with evidence, uncertainty and expected effect inside the existing workflow.

Operational software built around the business.

The Fable Systems Library provides annual software for CRM, scheduling, finance, accounting, quoting, billing, workflow, portals and integration. It can provide the workflow and evidence base that a Decision Engine needs.

  • Production software with defined users, records and controls
  • Built around the client's data model, workflow and commercial edge
  • Suitable as the workflow and evidence base for future Decision Engines

Questions worth answering before a pilot.

Enterprise decision software has to work with the systems, controls and commercial model already in place.

Fable works alongside your existing software and supports standard enterprise data protection protocols.

We already have ERP, CRM, BI and specialist systems.

Keep the systems that run the business. Fable works across their records, adds forecast and constraint logic, and makes the next decision explicit without creating another passive reporting layer.

Custom software deployments take months and disrupt operations.

Integrating enterprise data takes effort. Our team requires focused access to your technical records. Initial setup demands internal engineering time. We run a scoped pilot first to prove financial uplift before full deployment.

We cannot expose operational data without strict legal review.

Data privacy is critical. Enterprise security reviews take time. Compliance sign-offs usually add two to three weeks to our onboarding timeline. We support standard enterprise data protection protocols.

Your software uses a value-share commercial model.

Our model includes an implementation fee plus an annual licence tied to performance. Fable collects roughly 30% of the calculated financial uplift in year one. That share drops to 10-20% in following years. If your operational spend is small, this pricing model will not make financial sense.

What size organisation is Fable built for?

Fable is designed for upper-mid-market and enterprise organisations operating across commercial, financial, supply, workforce, operational, capital and risk decisions.

What is a Decision Engine?

It is operational software that combines machine learning, cross-system evidence, fixed constraints and financial or operational attribution to recommend a specific action.

How long does implementation take?

Initial opportunity assessments and pilots take a few weeks. Full software deployment timelines depend on the complexity of your enterprise data stack.

How is Fable priced?

We charge an initial implementation fee plus an annual software subscription. The fee structure scales based on the financial uplift created by the engine.

Do we need to replace our systems of record?

No. Fable works across your existing software infrastructure and pulls together the records already used to make the decision.
