Post-event analysis (PEA)
This content is for Spring ’26. Switch to the latest version for up-to-date documentation.
Post-event analysis (PEA) measures how a promotion actually performed once it has finished. It compares planned figures from planning tools (such as Promotion Builder and account plans) to actual orders, spend, and accruals from execution-covering baseline, uplift, revenue, trade spend, and ROI in one place.
PEA replaces manual spreadsheet reconciliation with in-system variance so you can see which tactics, products, and accounts over- or under-delivered.
Dimensions typically include:
- Volume
- Revenue
- Trade spend
- COGS
- Net revenue
- Contribution margin
- ROI
For each metric the system surfaces a variance between plan and outcome.
