Online · Agent Dhara · v2.4 · Semantic layer active # 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. [See Agent Dhara in Action →](#section-cta) [Explore AI at Incentivate](#section-1) D Ask Dhara \> Which state sells the most home insurance policies? Texas leads home insurance policy sales for the selected period, followed by Florida and California. The result is based on policy transaction data grouped by state and filtered for home insurance products. Answered in 0.8s · 3 sources You may also want to ask Which state leads auto policy sales? ↗ Top producer in Texas? ↗ Quarterly change by state? ↗ 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. Before Dhara 12–20 min 1. 1 Open payout report 2. 2 Check transaction table 3. 3 Check roster 4. 4 Check territory alignment 5. 5 Check plan eligibility 6. 6 Check rate table 7. 7 Check prior disputes 8. 8 Write explanation manually With Dhara < 1 min 1. 1 Ask the question 2. 2 Dhara checks relevant sources 3. 3 Dhara explains the likely cause 4. 4 Dhara shows evidence 5. 5 Analyst verifies and acts 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% // sources: producer\_plan.v{jan,jul,new\_year}.pdf · 3 versions analyzed 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. Answer Evidence used How Dhara approached 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. * doc Producer Plan (July version) — rate table, section 4.2 * doc Producer Plan (January version) — rate table, section 4.2 * doc Auto policy commission language — page 12 Checked 0.4s ago 1. 01 Located the relevant Producer Plan versions across history 2. 02 Found the lines where auto plan commission rates are mentioned 3. 03 Extracted the rate values and effective dates from each version 4. 04 Compared rates across versions to find the change 5. 05 Summarized the rate movement and the document it appeared in 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 Choose better data sources for each question Reason about relationships across tables Explain answers in business language 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. 01 Dispute investigation Trace records, alignment, and plan version behind a filed dispute. 02 Rate change guidance Walk an analyst through where and how a rate should be updated. 03 Plan document comparison Compare plan versions and surface language that has changed. 04 Territory impact analysis Investigate territory performance against comparable peers. 05 Producer payout explanation Reconstruct the inputs and credits behind a specific payout. 06 Quota relief investigation Structure a defensible recommendation around territory disruption. 07 Credit adjustment review Surface manual adjustments and the rationale behind them. 08 Report wiring assistance Map a requested report to the right tables and fields. skills/dispute-investigation.md ``` --- name: dispute-investigation description: Investigate a filed dispute end-to-end --- ## 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.
