Executive intelligence for stronger margins · Navetra™

Price your people drag.

Navetra™ turns people drag into a priced risk line item on your P&L. The MAR-T engine converts leadership misalignment, cross-functional drag, and hiring friction into risk bands and hot spots executives can act on.

What is MAR-T? It is your margin at risk in the next 3–12 months due to people-driven execution drag, expressed in dollars and risk bands so it can sit next to your P&L, not buried in a slide deck.

Why it matters
Internal inefficiencies quietly erode margin in mid to large firms. Navetra turns that drag into a priced risk line item so leaders can decide what they are willing to carry.
What Navetra does
Models people-driven drag across ten domains, prices it as MAR-T, and generates industry-validated recovery playbooks using a neurosymbolic, AI-plus-rules engine.
Who it serves
CEOs, COOs, CFOs, and HR leaders in asset-heavy, complex and multi-plant operations who need a clear line of sight from people decisions to margin and risk.
01 · The problem
Hidden inefficiencies erode margin and resilience.
+

Long before shortfalls show up clearly on the P&L, executive teams feel the drag in decisions, projects, safety, and customer commitments.

  • Critical roles open or churning for months
  • Plants, functions, and sites arguing over priorities and capacity
  • Chronic overtime, rework, and shutdown overruns
  • Knowledge stuck in one senior person or one site

Drag is the recurring gap between what your people and systems could deliver and what actually lands, driven by misalignment, friction, and missing capabilities across roles, teams, and sites.

Key insight
In many industrial firms, internal inefficiencies quietly erode margin. Navetra treats that as a priced risk line item, not a soft issue, so leadership can decide, “Which part of this drag are we willing to carry?”
02 · Product
What Navetra actually does.
+

Navetra turns people-driven execution drag into three assets executives can use immediately: a priced risk number, a prioritized recovery plan, and a live radar across plants, projects, and functions.

Risk engine

MAR-T risk engine (AI/ML + actuarial)

Uses AI/ML and Monte Carlo simulation, grounded in actuarial logic, to estimate MAR-T, volatility, and tail scenarios, giving you ranges and risk bands instead of static scores.

Recovery

Industry-validated recovery engine

Turns each risk pattern into a practical playbook drawn from sector data and expert practice. A neurosymbolic layer blends pattern recognition with rule-based constraints so recommendations stay realistic and context-aware.

Drag in dollars

Performance drag by domain

Shows annual drag in dollars across leadership, collaboration, knowledge transfer, hiring, and onboarding, creating a clear margin leak map by domain and business unit.

Risk radar

Risk and performance vs benchmarks

Compares your risk profile to sector benchmarks so you can see where you are carrying more people-risk than peers for the same revenue.

Execution loop

90-day MAR-T loop and 3-phase roadmap

A path from critical fixes (0–3 months) to high-impact moves (3–6 months) and structural shifts (6–12 months), each with indicative dollar recovery and risk reduction. Every cycle tightens the link between MAR-T and how you run the business.

03 · How it works
From scattered signals to a 90-day operating rhythm.
+

Navetra plugs into the KPIs and leadership or team input you already have and turns them into a single, defensible view of MAR-T for the C-suite.

Step 0 (optional)

Mini MAR-T scan

Run a short scan to get a colour-coded MAR-T band (green, amber, or red) and gauge whether people-driven margin risk is material enough to warrant a full deployment.

Step 1

Data connection and light-touch inputs

Short leadership and team surveys plus a focused set of KPIs such as scrap, rework, overtime, vacancy, and attrition. A live data pipe, not a one-off survey.

Step 2

MAR-T pricing and live console

As soon as new data is submitted, Navetra reprices MAR-T in seconds and updates risk bands and hot spots by plant, function, or network, providing a live risk map instead of static decks.

Step 3

Debrief and 90-day action plan

Your CEO, COO, CFO, and HR leader receive an executive debrief plus a prioritized 90-day slate and 6–12-month moves, with indicative dollar recovery and risk reduction for each.

Step 4

Quarterly margin and execution rhythm

Every 90 days, your executive sponsor and Navetra champions review MAR-T trends, what moved the needle, and the next three to five actions per plant or business unit. Renewal becomes a discussion about risk and return, not shelfware.

Who owns Navetra internally?

Executive sponsor

Usually the COO, CFO, or CHRO. Brings Navetra into quarterly business reviews, budgets, and board discussions as the source of truth on people-driven margin risk.

Operations champion

Uses the MAR-T view to focus improvement work, track drag across sites, and connect risk signals to changes on the floor.

People or HR champion

Connects hiring, onboarding, capability, and engagement signals into Navetra so people decisions are framed in financial and risk terms, not just satisfaction scores.

Finance or FP&A partner

Links Navetra outputs to the P&L, challenges assumptions, and helps quantify ROI so each cycle strengthens the business case for staying the course.

04 · Sample use case
How a multi-plant manufacturer de-risks growth.
+

Situation

A $450M multi-plant industrial manufacturer is missing EBITDA targets despite strong demand. Plants are fighting for headcount, overtime is spiking, and the CEO is hearing different stories from every site.

What Navetra surfaced

The MAR-T engine priced a double-digit share of margin at risk, concentrated in leadership alignment across plants, slow hiring for critical roles, and knowledge trapped in two senior experts. The recovery engine proposed a 90-day playbook validated against similar firms.

90-day outcome

After one 90-day cycle, overtime and rework costs dropped, vacancy days in key roles fell, and executive reviews now start with the MAR-T view. Navetra became the shared reference point for “Where is our margin and execution risk this quarter?”

The result is not another dashboard. Navetra becomes the way the leadership team holds a single, defensible view of people-driven margin risk across plants, projects, and functions.
05 · Why it sticks
Why Navetra becomes your ongoing margin radar.
+

Fast, continuous time-to-value

Minimal data burden at the start, then live updates. MAR-T reprices in seconds whenever new data comes in, so leadership conversations stay tied to the latest picture instead of last quarter’s survey.

Executive language, analytics underneath

Outputs are framed in dollars, ranges, and risk scenarios that boards and lenders can use, while AI/ML and actuarial models do the heavy lifting behind the scenes.

Built into your operating rhythm

Navetra sits alongside your monthly P&L and quarterly reviews: one MAR-T view, a 90-day action cadence, and simple artefacts your champions can carry into every leadership forum.

Compounding value over time

Each cycle adds trend data, benchmarks, and “what worked here.” Over time, Navetra becomes institutional memory for execution drag and people-risk rather than a one-off project.

Once MAR-T and recovery paths are visible and baked into a 90-day rhythm, it becomes hard to justify running on gut feel alone.

06 · Industries and leaders
Who Navetra is for.
