Bacenik CIQ™

Cost Intelligence Quotient

How it works

Clarity Before Commitment—bring evidence, check readiness, approve as a team, and keep a lasting record.

From evidence to memory

Four steps to a clear decision

Bacenik CIQ™ helps you assure cost decisions before you commit. It is not a general ledger and it does not post journals.

  1. 01

    Bring your numbers in

    Import ledger evidence from a spreadsheet, or connect QuickBooks when your workspace is set up for it. Map accounts and dimensions once. Bacenik CIQ™ works with your books—it does not replace them or post entries.

  2. 02

    Understand the commitment

    Review cost health, run a focused scenario, and see what drives the number before anyone commits capital or spend.

  3. 03

    Check readiness, then decide

    Decision Assurance™ shows whether the package is ready, where confidence is strong, and what still needs attention. Your team approves. Review notes may flag gaps—they never decide for you.

  4. 04

    Keep the record

    Every material call becomes a CIQ Decision Record™. Later outcomes feed Decision Memory™ so the next board conversation starts with what you already learned.
