Causal overview

What is Causal?

Causal lets you build financial models effortlessly and share interactive, visual dashboards that everyone understands.

In Causal, you build your models out of variables, which you can then link together in simple plain-English formulae. This makes your models easy to understand and quick to build, so you can spend minutes, not days, on your models.

When you're done, you can share the link to your model with stakeholders. They'll be able to view your model's outputs in a visual dashboard, rather than a jumble of tabs and complex formulae.

Causal makes it simple to incorporate advanced modeling techniques like scenario analysis, sensitivity analysis, and uncertainty in your inputs.

You can also integrate all of your most important data sources, from spreadsheet software like Sheets and Excel to accounting platforms, CRMs, data warehouses, and more.

Cons
“At first I thought they were tongue in cheek about killing the spreadsheet, however they have just about achieved this in our business. Credit to [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and the whole Causal team.”

“It’s somewhat limited in its capacity in certain situations. They have a couple of use cases in mind which makes things somewhat difficult to apply to my unique case.”
