Power BI + AI/ML

Reusable analytics delivery IP for bringing predictions and risk scores into your Power BI reporting.

REUSABLE ACCELERATOR · ANALYTICS

Make model outputs usable in Power BI

Power BI + AI/ML brings reusable analytics delivery IP to model-output integration and reporting. Linkfields adapts this IP to your business requirements; Microsoft Power BI remains the reporting platform.

An existing model can supply the outputs, or model development can be scoped separately through the Predictive Analytics Suite. Assess your predictive reporting use case: share the report, intended decision, Power BI environment and whether a model already exists.

PRE-BUILT AND TAILORED

Predictive insight in Power BI

AI/ML in Power BI

Adapt model-output integration to the agreed data contract and reporting environment.

  • Reuse scope - analytics integration IP
  • Configure - model source, measures and refresh
  • Output - predictions beside business measures

Predictive dashboards

Build a forecast view that gives users the context needed for planning.

  • Reuse scope - predictive reporting IP
  • Configure - horizon, actuals and forecast context
  • Output - actual and forecast comparison

Risk scoring visuals

Build a risk-review view that lets authorised users compare and prioritise cases.

  • Reuse scope - risk reporting IP
  • Configure - score context and review criteria
  • Output - prioritised risk-review view
Scope at assessment

Agree the reusable asset set and supported integration approach. Model development, hosting and licences are not implied by the reporting accelerator.

ARTEFACTS AND ACCEPTANCE

Start with the decision, then the dashboard

Reuse avoids starting each reporting integration from a blank design; the data contract, report configuration and acceptance tests remain client-specific.

01

User and decision brief

Identify report users, their decisions and the actions a forecast or score should support.

  • Reuse - applicable reporting IP
  • Accept - user and decision brief
02

Model and data contract

Check output meaning, data access, model limitations and refresh needs.

  • Tailor - source and measure definitions
  • Accept - validated model/data contract
03

Configured report

Configure views and test the reporting environment before user review.

  • Tailor - report, refresh and permissions
  • Accept - refresh and security test results
04

User acceptance and handover

Validate interpretation with users and assign model/report monitoring owners.

  • Tailor - training and operating guidance
  • Accept - user sign-off and handover
Illustrative forecast review

Historical demand and a model forecast → actual and forecast comparison for an agreed horizon → a planner reviews assumptions and model limitations → a stock or capacity decision is recorded. This is an engagement example, not an actual dashboard screenshot or measured client result.

TIME TO VALUE AND FIT

What your Power BI environment needs

First value is a report that users can interpret and accept. Model availability, data contracts, licensing, refresh and access controls determine the delivery plan.

Platform and data

Confirm that the reporting environment can support the intended use and data access.

  • Agree - Power BI licensing and capacity
  • Check - data permissions and source access
  • Define - refresh mode and reporting scope

Model source and hosting

Decide whether the model is already available or needs a separate development scope.

  • Identify - model owner and output contract
  • Agree - hosting and integration boundary
  • Record - limitations and validation evidence

Security and support

Keep access and ownership clear across reports, data and model outputs.

  • Agree - permissions and row-level security
  • Test - refresh and authorised access
  • Name - report, model and support owners
Buying boundary

Accelerator adoption is scoped separately from software licensing. Agree the [engagement model](/company/our-approach#engagement-models), reuse and handover rights, licence dependencies and ongoing support before delivery.
