Meet Agent Dhara, the AI analyst built for incentive operations.

Dhara helps teams ask business questions, investigate disputes, trace plan changes, understand performance, and move from insight to action across the Incentivate platform.

Not a chatbot placed on top of incentive data. Dhara is built on the business context, semantic understanding, plan history, payout logic, roster data, territory alignment, transactions, documents, and workflows that compensation teams actually work with every day.

01Business Questions

Ask business questions in plain English.

Incentive platforms sit at the intersection of sales, products, territories, quotas, crediting, finance, disputes, rosters, and performance. Many of the questions compensation teams receive are not narrowly compensation questions — they are business questions.

What users ask
What Dhara understands
Which state sells the most home insurance?
Product category, geography, transaction history, ranking logic
Why did this rep's payout drop?
Plan rules, credits, roster, alignment, output changes
When did the auto rate change?
Plan documents, versions, rate language, effective dates
Which territories may need quota relief?
Sales performance, territory context, possible external impact
Question

Which is the top state that sells home insurance policies?

What Dhara does

Identifies the product category, queries policy transaction data, groups performance by state, ranks the results, and summarizes the answer in business language.

What makes it different

Dhara does not stop at the answer. It suggests the next useful question — whether the same pattern holds for auto policies, producers, branches, or time periods.

02Investigation

Built for the messy, investigative work behind incentive operations.

Incentive questions rarely live in one table. To resolve a dispute or explain a payout, an analyst may need to check transactions, credits, plan rules, rate tables, roster history, territory alignment, account assignments, eligibility rules, manual adjustments, prior disputes, payout outputs, and plan documents. That work is slow because the analyst is not simply looking for data — they are reconstructing a story.

Dhara does not remove the analyst from the process. It gives the analyst a faster path to evidence, explanation, and action.

03Guided Action

Guidance when something needs to change.

Many incentive questions end with an operational action. If a commission rate needs to be changed, a parameter updated, or an eligibility condition corrected, the analyst still needs to know where to go, what to update, and what to check afterward.

User asks
> We need to update the auto policy commission rate for the Producer Plan. Where should I make the change?
Dhara helps identify
  • The relevant plan or component
  • The parameter or rate table where the value is maintained
  • The effective date that should be considered
  • Any downstream calculations or reports that may be affected
  • Checks to run before closing the change
The analyst remains in control. Dhara provides guidance, evidence, and next steps — governed users make the final change.
04Plan History

Trace changes across plan documents and versions.

Plan history is often hard to analyze. Rates change, rules change, product categories change, and sometimes the only way to answer a question is to compare old documents manually. Dhara retrieves historical plan documents, compares the relevant language, identifies changes, and summarizes the timeline.

> When did we change the auto plan commission rates last?
Plan version Effective period Auto commission rate Change detected
Producer Plan, January version Jan – Jun 3.5% Baseline
Producer Plan, July version Jul – Dec 3.5% No rate change
Producer Plan, New Year version Jan onward 7.0% Δ +3.5%

05Verification

Designed for verification, not blind trust.

In incentive management, a fast answer is not enough. Payouts affect compensation, finance, trust, sales motivation, and dispute resolution. Analysts need to understand where an answer came from before relying on it.

The auto commission rate appears to have changed from 3.5% to 7.0%, effective starting in January, based on the most recent Producer Plan document.

The previous two plan versions (January and July) both carried 3.5%. The New Year version introduces the increase.

06Semantic Layer

AI needs business meaning, not just database access.

Enterprise source-system data is often cryptic. A column may be named ZCREV13 but the business meaning may be "recognized revenue for eligible home insurance policies." A generic AI agent cannot reliably infer that. Dhara is supported by a semantic layer that describes what data means, how fields should be interpreted, how tables relate, and which business concepts matter.

Without semantic context
  • ZCREV13
  • PRD_TYP_CD
  • ALGN_FLG
  • CR_ADJ_AMT
With semantic context
  • Eligible revenue
  • Product type
  • Alignment status
  • Credit adjustment amount

07Skills

An agent your team can keep teaching.

Every incentive environment is different. Each company has its own plan language, exception patterns, approval processes, and operational habits. Dhara is built as a skills-based system — teams add or update capabilities by writing Markdown skills that define how Dhara should handle specific questions or tasks.

## Steps
1. Retrieve the dispute record and prior history
2. Pull related transactions and roster state
3. Check alignment and eligibility for the period
4. Compare against the applicable plan version
5. Summarize likely cause with linked evidence

Dhara becomes more valuable as more institutional knowledge is captured into reusable skills.

08Investigation Flow

When business context changes, Dhara helps analysts investigate faster.

Some of the hardest analyst requests do not arrive as clean tickets. They start as business questions from leadership — a market disruption, a regional event, an unusual sales decline. Dhara helps structure the investigation, surface comparisons, and prepare a defensible recommendation.

Leadership
"Should we consider quota relief for XYZ territories?"
  1. Step 01
    Identify affected territories
  2. Step 02
    Review performance before & after
  3. Step 03
    Compare with unaffected peers
  4. Step 04
    Check product-level impact
  5. Step 05
    Temporary or recurring?
  6. Step 06
    Prepare summary for review

Where external research or live news context is required, Dhara helps structure and support the investigation alongside the analyst — it does not replace external context.

09Governance

Enterprise AI with governance built in.

Incentive management is a high-trust function. AI here must respect permissions, preserve auditability, and support human review. Dhara is designed to support governed operations — helping users investigate, explain, and act with better context while the right humans stay in control of decisions and changes.

Role-aware access
Dhara respects the same permissions and visibility rules already enforced across Incentivate.
Source-backed answers
Every answer can be traced to the records and documents it relied on.
Human approval
Operational changes go through governed users; Dhara provides guidance, not unchecked action.
Auditability
Actions, prompts, and outputs are versioned and timestamped.
Workflow compatibility
Dhara fits inside existing approval flows, SLAs, and QA practices.
Skill governance
Skills are reviewable, versioned, and controlled — extensibility stays accountable.
