Pigment’s “Explain the Formula” Feature Redefines How FP&A Teams Learn and Build
Pigment’s new “Explain the Formula” feature brings AI-powered transparency to financial modeling. Learn how it helps FP&A teams understand, govern, and accelerate their planning models.
The Allocations Construct: Turning Shared Costs into Clear Accountability
The Allocations Construct distributes shared costs or revenues across departments, products, or entities. Learn how this core FP&A logic creates transparency and alignment in Pigment.
The Multi-Dimension Reclassification Construct
The Multi-Dimension Reclassification Construct moves data across accounts, departments, or entities to keep financial reporting aligned with business reality. Learn how Pigment enables traceable, multi-dimensional adjustments.
The Roll-Forward Construct: Building Continuity Across Time
The Roll-Forward Construct tracks how values change over time—starting with a beginning balance, applying inflows and outflows, and ending with a reconciled result. Learn how this logic drives continuity in FP&A models built in Pigment.
The Pareto Segmentation Construct: Focus Where It Matters Most
The Pareto Segmentation Construct applies the 80/20 rule to FP&A models—focusing effort on the customers, products, or drivers that matter most. Learn how Pigment handles top-tier modeling efficiently.
The Cohort Modeling Construct: Turning Time-Based Data into Insight
Cohort modeling groups customers, employees, or assets by start period to analyze behavior over time. Learn how this construct reveals retention, churn, and growth dynamics in Pigment.
The Capacity Planning Construct
The Capacity Planning Construct reverse-engineers business goals into operational inputs—headcount, productivity, and utilization. Learn how this logic connects strategy to execution in Pigment.
The Cross-Reference Data Mapping Construct: Connecting Operational Detail to Financial Logic
Cross-reference data mapping connects operational detail to financial models. Learn how this construct links source data to drivers in Pigment, improving consistency and transparency.
The Snapshot Evolution Construct
The Snapshot Evolution Construct tracks how objects change over time—employees, deals, or cost centers. Learn how this algorithm preserves continuity and drives time-based FP&A analysis.
The Date Spreading Construct: Making Time-Based Logic Transparent
The Date Spreading Construct distributes values across time using start and end dates. Learn how this core planning algorithm powers accurate, scalable FP&A models in Pigment.
The Ramp Construct: Modeling Growth Toward Steady State
The Ramp Construct models growth toward a steady state — whether it’s sales productivity, customer adoption, or production efficiency. Learn how this core planning algorithm powers scalable FP&A models in Pigment.
11 Universal Planning Constructs for Nearly Any FP&A Use Case
Every FP&A team relies on the same underlying algorithms—allocations, roll-forwards, ramps, and more. Bright Point’s 11 Planning Constructs define these reusable patterns and show how they drive scalable financial models.
