Management control and investment appraisal / MADERAS DEMO
Financial intelligence
From profitability to investment decisions. Performance, budget, cash and an industrial project appraisal, connected in an interactive financial experience.
Open interactive experienceMaderas Demo case study. January–September 2026 is a closed synthetic historical period; the investment is a separate simulation in millions of Chilean pesos. It is not connected to an ERP and does not represent a real company’s results.
01 / The challenge
The starting point.
Sales alone cannot explain margins, available cash or the case for an investment. This demonstration brings these questions together, makes assumptions visible and distinguishes business performance from the incremental cash flows of a project.
02 / The solution
An integrated response.
The laboratory compares performance with budget, explores contribution by product family and reconciles opening and closing cash. A second path assesses an industrial improvement using discounted cash flows, scenarios and sensitivity. Every indicator comes from a shared model; the data are synthetic and investment assumptions can be changed.
03 / Solution architecture
How the solution connects.
- 01
Case foundation
Synthetic financial series for January–September 2026; three product families and a monthly budget
- 02
Management model
Revenue, contribution, EBITDA, net income and cash reconciliation across operating, investing and financing activities
- 03
Investment model
CAPEX, savings, incremental expenses, depreciation, assumed taxes, working capital and residual value
- 04
Decision
NPV, IRR, payback, annual cash flows and a sensitivity matrix; editable scenarios and a printable report
What the case helps analyse
performance and budget with product-family detail
sources and uses of cash movements
value, recovery and sensitivity to assumptions
IMPLEMENTATION PROPOSAL
How to extend this case with AI.
The demo calculates profitability, cash flow, NPV and IRR deterministically. AI-assisted explanation is a proposed extension.
- 01
Process sources
Results and budget · Cash movements · Investment assumptions
- 02
Proposed assistance
Assistance to draft explanations grounded in verified calculations, identify open questions and compare scenarios without changing the model’s figures.
- 03
Pilot output
A financial reading with explained variances and visible assumptions.
- 04
How to assess the contribution
Analysis time and agreement between the explanation and calculations. Acceptance criteria to be defined.
