Front Office
Cap
What is committed, what is exposed, and what a scenario costs before you run it.
Who it is for
Cap manager, general manager.
How this is handled today
Roster budgets started moving like a professional front office while the tools stayed where they were. Scenarios get modelled in a spreadsheet one person maintains, sent round as a snapshot, and read after the underlying commitments have already changed.
Exposure is discovered rather than projected. A position group turns out to be over-committed at the point somebody adds it up, which is usually the week it matters.
What changes
Model a deal against live commitments and see what it does to the cycle before anyone signs anything. The scenario is a piece of work in the store, not an attachment.
A scenario is published for approval with its figures attached, so the record shows what the approver actually saw at the time rather than what the sheet says now.

Agents on this surface
None. This surface is figures only.
Whatever loads reaches your own records and nothing else, works out its own figures, and puts them on the screen itself. It never edits a number on the way to you.
