Five stages. Only two of them pay.
Most vendors show you the first number and stop. We publish all five, including the one we have not reached.

Schreiber Foods is one of the world's largest cheesemakers, with plants around the world. Its markets reprice every trading day. Its plants, its commercial teams and its risk desk do not.
We started with one decision in a group of its European plants. The distance between what we modeled and what has been verified is the honest cost of turning a model into an operating practice. The thing that closes it is governance, not software.
| Modeled On paper | Reached |
| Built In the tool | Reached |
| Live In someone's day | Reached |
| Verified Audited by the customer | Reached |
| Booked In the accounts | In flight |
Every one of them reads the same market data, on the same day.
- 01
Make
What should we make today?
Values the milk, fat and protein mix against current markets each morning, and prices the cheapest recipe that still meets the order. Live in its European plants.
- 02
Sell
What is the right price for the value?
Combines Schreiber's own costs with external market and competitive signals, so every price stays consistent with the contract and the value delivered.
- 03
Risk
What is our exposure?
Quantifies commodity market exposure with value at risk and guides hedging, so teams act while a decision is still open.
What each stage means, and what it takes to pass it.
- 01
Modeled
On paper
The size of the gap, measured from your own past records. No systems touched.
What it takes to pass: Your data, not ours. Fourteen days, and a number your finance team can check.
- 02
Built
In the tool
The decision runs in software and produces an answer a person can defend.
What it takes to pass: Explainability. Show the floor, the target and the ceiling, or an analyst will not use it.
- 03
Live
In someone's day
A named team uses it to make a real decision, on a real cadence.
What it takes to pass: Adoption. One team, one decision, a clear owner. Not a rollout.
- 04
Verified
Audited by you
Your finance team separates the gain from market noise and signs off on the method.
What it takes to pass: Attribution by design. Logging and comparison built in from day one, not fitted afterwards.
- 05
Booked
In the accounts
The gain appears in reported results. This is the stage almost nobody reaches.
What it takes to pass: Internal inertia is the enemy. The status quo wins by default unless someone owns the change.
Fourteen days, your own past records, no access to your systems.
How often does your cost floor update, and how often does your market move?
The value at every stage of this ledger comes from the gap between those two answers.
Fourteen days to size the gap in dollars.
We use your own past records, with no IT work and no access to your systems. You keep the analysis whether or not you buy anything.
Start the proofStage status as of October 2026. Verified means Schreiber Foods' own finance staff signed off on the method. Booked remains in flight. We do not publish customer figures.
