Government Analytics / Mission and revenue forecasting

Government sales and forecasting signals became a mission performance model.

Statewide lottery sales, validation, retailer, and forecasting analytics designed to maximize funding contributions and operational visibility.

Public-sector analyticsForecastingGoverned reporting
Business overview and objectives

The public-sector objective was mission visibility, not a standalone sales report.

The commission needed one governed model that connected lottery sales, validation activity, retailer performance, product mix, forecasting, and education funding outcomes. The business story had to work for executive leaders, finance, sales, operations, and public accountability.

Business objective

Create a secure statewide analytics platform that turns operational data into forecasting, retailer action, portfolio decisions, and mission-aligned funding visibility.

  • Unify sales, validation, retailer, product, and historical data.
  • Support forecasting and scenario views with shared definitions.
  • Connect product and retailer performance to funding goals.
  • Give departments and executives role-appropriate dashboards.
  • Establish governance, quality rules, and release discipline.
  • Prepare the platform for new games, channels, and reporting needs.
