Scenarios
A scenario is DigitalCore’s structured answer to a decision. It lives inside a decision case and lays out the options, the assumptions behind each one, and the projected impact.
A case can carry one scenario or several — for example, an initial set generated when the case opens, plus a refined set after stakeholder feedback.
What a scenario contains
| Element | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Question | What is being decided. Inherited from the case. |
| Options | Two to four distinct courses of action. |
| Assumptions | The variables behind each option, such as rates, volume, or timing. |
| Projected impact | Per option: revenue, cost, margin, KPI changes, and risk shift. |
| Recommended option | The suggested choice, with reasoning. |
| Status | Proposed, Approved, Declined, or Applied. |
Generating a scenario
From the decision case, click Generate Scenario. DigitalCore will:
- Read the case context: engagement, linked signals, risks, priorities.
- Pull the relevant data from your portfolio.
- Propose options informed by similar past decisions in your AI Use Cases.
- Stamp each option with assumptions and projected impact.
- Write a short rationale.
You can refine: change assumptions, regenerate options, or ask for an angle the assistant missed.
Approving and applying
| Action | Effect |
|---|---|
| Approve | Marks the chosen option. Status becomes Approved. No data changes yet. |
| Apply | Updates rates, plans, or scope. Creates follow-ups on the parent case. Status becomes Applied. |
| Decline | Records the decision and the reason. Status becomes Declined. No data changes. |
Approve and Apply are kept separate on purpose. Approval is a governance moment. Apply is a data moment. Splitting them lets you sign off in advance, then apply on a future date.
Comparing options
When a scenario has multiple options, the comparison view stacks them side by side:
- Margin impact
- Capacity impact
- Risk shift
- KPI projection
- Implementation effort
Use the comparison view in stakeholder reviews and renewal conversations.
