Forecasting Suite
Driver-based forecasting, scenario modeling, and budgeting for R&D trial planning and financial visibility.
Overview
The Condor Forecasting Suite is a financial planning and forecasting system built for biopharma R&D. It combines driver-based forecasting, dynamic scenario modeling, and Compass-powered budgeting in a single platform, designed for finance, accounting, and study teams that need visibility into trial spend and budget performance.
The suite covers use cases ranging from forecasting investigator grants to comparing vendor projections with actual spend. It offers portfolio-wide visibility, ERP integration, and AI-enabled data ingestion, allowing teams to adjust plans in real time and track spend against milestones.

- Includes multi-variable scenario planning with the ability to forecast by region and cohort, add custom line items, and adjust activity drivers.
Budget vs. Actual Reporting
- Tracks planned versus actual spend across studies.
- Runs variance analyses to identify cost drivers, spot trends, and improve forecast accuracy.
Look-Back Analysis
- Compares past study performance against original plans.
- Supports refinement of future budgets and informs site and vendor negotiations.
Real-Time Reporting and Analytics
- Provides up-to-the-minute reporting through exportable dashboards and tables.
