AI Agents for Pharma Commercial Analytics

They monitor. They investigate. They alert. You decide.

Stop chasing TRx swings across five systems and a week of analyst time. Deploy AI agents that unify IQVIA, CRM, claims, and payer data into one commercial model — then surface root causes in seconds, not days.

Tellius is an agentic analytics platform purpose-built for pharmaceutical commercial teams. It combines conversational analytics—where brand, field, and market access teams ask complex questions in plain English and get governed, consistent answers—with agentic intelligence, where AI agents monitor your business 24/7, detect meaningful changes, investigate root causes, and deliver insights before you ask. Unlike generic BI tools or AI platforms that require constant hand-holding, Tellius understands TRx, NBRx, payer hierarchies, territory structures, and pharma data complexity natively.

Why Tellius

What Makes Tellius Different

Tellius is the only pharma analytics platform where AI agents investigate automatically. When TRx drops or payer access changes, you don't get a dashboard to interpret—you get a finished explanation showing exactly what changed, why, and what to do next.

The Problem

The part of pharma analytics that everyone pretends is fine

Brand, field, access, patient, and IC all run on different dashboards and different “truths.”

TRx whiplash gets explained three different ways depending on who is holding the laser pointer.

“Covered” payers quietly suffocate starts through PA friction and step edits that no one sees until quarter close.

Reps are measured on call counts while high-value HCPs slowly disappear from call plans.

Incentive comp is held together by spreadsheets everyone hates but no one dares touch.

Traditional dashboards show what happened, not why—and root-cause work still takes days of manual investigation.

Non-technical users can't explore data without submitting IT requests

Field teams spend 40% of their time preparing reports instead of selling

Why commercial teams can't get fast answers from current analytics

Current commercial analytics is slow because analysts end up rebuilding the same “what changed and why” work every week (TRx variance cuts, territory comparisons, payer drivers), and by the time a weekly review shows an NBRx drop, the underlying access or competitor shift is already weeks old. On top of that, Brand, Field, Access, Patient Services, and IC teams often run on different dashboards with different definitions. Non-technical users then rely on analyst tickets for basic “why” questions, and every follow-up adds another 2–3 day wait.

AI-powered commercial analytics solves this: it combines conversational interfaces that let pharma teams ask questions in plain English with agentic intelligence that monitors continuously, detects problems automatically, and explains root causes before you ask. This is what happens when analytics stops waiting for you to notice things. This hub addresses the real questions commercial leaders ask when analyst backlogs delay decisions and five different tools can't agree on what happened.

Start where it hurts most in commercial analytics

We’ve broken the problem into five commercial use cases and two platform layers that mirror how pharma actually runs. Choose your area to explore how we solve your specific pain points.


Analytics Solutions for Every Commercial Function

Field Force Effectiveness

Modern agentic analytics unify CRM, claims, access, and engagement data to monitor performance, explain what’s driving NBRx changes, tell reps which HCPs to prioritize this week, and recommend next-best actions. Real-time insights replace week-old dashboards. Root-cause analysis replaces guesswork. Read this to see how agentic analytics turns claims + CRM + access signals into a ranked call plan and the reason behind it.

Inside: how to redefine high-value HCPs, connect calls to script lift, and compare territories fairly given payer reality

Brand Performance & KPI Drivers

Agentic analytics autonomously investigates TRx swings, decomposes changes across competitors and payers, and delivers root-cause explanations in minutes. Get continuous monitoring that catches formulary risks before they hit NBRx, conversational AI that answers “why” during planning, and resource optimization that maximizes ROI across constrained budgets. Read more to see how AI turns TRx movement into a defensible explanation by payer, competitor, segment, and channel, fast enough to use in the meeting.

Inside: how to read NBRx vs TRx, attribute TRx swings to real drivers, and make driver analysis standard in brand reviews

Market Access & Payer Analytics

Agentic analytics continuously monitors payer behavior, investigates access deterioration, and delivers root-cause explanations fast. Get conversational AI that answers complex payer questions during meetings, plus predictive models that forecast formulary risk 60–90 days early, so you can act while there’s still time. If you’re tired of learning about restrictions after NBRx drops, this page shows how to detect, explain, and respond before the damage spreads.

Inside: how to quantify PA and step-edit impact, rank payers by pull-through, and turn formulary changes into clear playbooks

Patient Journey & Claims Analytics

AI agents autonomously investigate in minutes, quantifying how much came from PA barriers vs. copay issues vs. pharmacy problems. Identity resolution links patients across fragmented systems. Continuous monitoring detects problems weeks earlier than claims lag allows. This page helps you to replace reactive claims analysis with proactive intelligence that intervenes before patients disappear.

Inside: how to find journey drop-offs, build a single claims/hub/SP view, and catch adherence risk early enough to act

Incentive Compensation Analytics

When reps can't trace payouts to specific accounts, rules, and adjustments, they build shadow spreadsheets and flood ops with disputes. AI agents autonomously investigate payout variances and generate plain-English explanations showing exactly how credits flowed to final numbers. Conversational interfaces let reps drill into IC progress mid-period without submitting tickets. Version control makes every calculation reproducible for audit. Read this to replace shadow spreadsheets with transparent, auditable IC systems that make quota attainment feel fair.

Inside: how to set realistic quotas, credit complex account wins, and move IC rules out of fragile spreadsheets


Two Powerful Approaches to Analytics Transformation

Two Powerful Approaches to Analytics Transformation

Combine conversational interfaces for instant answers with agentic intelligence that works proactively—solving both immediate needs and long-term efficiency.

Conversational Pharma Analytics & AI Foundations

Pharma teams don’t suffer from a lack of data; they suffer from a lack of fast, trustworthy answers. Conversational analytics and a solid AI foundation let brand managers, access teams, and field ops ask complex questions in plain English ("Why did TRx drop?”, "Which payers are underperforming?") and get governed, consistent answers instantly. No SQL. No tickets. No three-day waits. Semantic layers enforce single definitions across teams. Read on to eliminate the analyst request backlog that slows every commercial decision.

Inside: how to build a unified pharma semantic layer, expose it via natural-language questions, and kill “export to Excel” culture.

Agentic Analytics: AI Agents That Work 24/7

Commercial pharma teams don't need more dashboards to check every Monday morning. They need analytics that work continuously, detect problems before quarterly reviews, and explain what changed without waiting for analyst tickets. Agentic analytics adds a second layer on top of conversational foundations: deploys AI agents that continuously monitor your business, automatically detect anomalies, investigate root causes across payers/regions/segments, and generate insights before you ask. This page tells you how to stop reacting to last month's problems and start preventing this week's.

Inside: how to let agents watch key metrics, run root-cause analysis on changes, and auto-generate briefs and alerts

Platform & Technology Questions Related to Pharma & Life Sciences

1. Is this just another BI dashboard with a chat interface, or something fundamentally different?

+

It's a decision layer. Under the hood, it's a unified commercial data model and analytics engine that sits across IQVIA, CRM, claims, payer, hub, and SP data. Dashboards are just one interface. The real value is that the same governed logic powers conversational questions, automated driver analysis, AI agent investigations, and IC/FP&A workflows. So every team pulls from one source of truth instead of maintaining shadow spreadsheets with conflicting definitions.

2. How does this work end-to-end—from raw data to “here’s why TRx moved”?

+

Think of it as four steps, all wired together:

1. Unify the data. Connect and harmonize IQVIA/Symphony, CRM (Veeva, Salesforce), claims, payer, hub, SP, and internal systems into one commercial model. No more manual extracts and Excel stitching.

2. Ask in plain English. Brand, field, and access teams ask questions like “Why did NBRx drop in the Northeast last month?” The system maps that to governed metrics and runs the right joins and aggregations.

3. Deploy AI agents. Agents watch hundreds of metrics 24/7. When something meaningful moves, they automatically investigate root causes, quantify business impact, and assemble the story.

4. Receive proactive insights & recommendations. Instead of raw charts, you get a targeted brief: “Prior auth denials increased 18% with Aetna in Q3; estimated TRx impact –$2.3M; root cause: new step-therapy requirement; next steps: escalate to access team and review formulary status across priority plans.”

That’s the real workflow shift: from “pull a report and hunt” to “the system tells you what changed and what to do about it.”

3. Where do conversational analytics and agentic analytics each fit? Do we actually need both?

+

Conversational analytics is the front door: it lets humans ask better questions faster. Agentic analytics is the back office: it keeps watch when no one is asking anything.You start with conversational analytics so people can finally get consistent answers on demand. Once that foundation is solid, agents take over the boring part: continuous monitoring, driver analysis, alerting, and narrative generation. You don’t need agents to get value, but without agents you’ll always be one meeting behind your own data.

4. What kind of ROI should a serious team expect if this is done right?

+

If all you want is nicer dashboards, the ROI will be mediocre. The upside comes when you use the system to:

- Catch access issues and payer changes early enough to protect TRx, not just explain lost quarters
- Reallocate field effort toward high-value HCPs and accounts based on integrated potential
- Tighten IC plans so you’re paying for the behavior that drives scripts

For most brands, that shows up as a mix of protected revenue (less leakage) and freed-up analyst/field time. If the numbers don’t move, you haven’t really changed how decisions are made; you’ve just relabeled the charts.

5. How long does it take to see real impact, and what has to change on our side?

+

You don’t need a multi-year “data transformation.” Most teams see meaningful impact once:

- Priority data sources (scripts, CRM, payer) are wired into a unified model
- Core KPIs and definitions are agreed across brand, field, access, and finance
- A handful of high-value workflows (monthly brand reviews, access risk monitoring, IC design) are rebuilt on top of the new stack

The bigger change is cultural: analysts move from building reports to designing models and workflows; business users stop screenshotting dashboards and start interrogating the live system. If you’re not ready to change how decisions are made, the tech alone won’t save you.

6. How is this different from our current setup: data warehouse + BI + vendor portals?

+

Your current stack probably looks like this: data warehouse in the middle, BI on top, vendor portals on the side, and Excel everywhere. It works, but only if you’re willing to pay with time and manual effort.

Pharma Intelligence assumes that’s table stakes and pushes further:
- One commercial semantic layer instead of every team rebuilding metrics on their own
- Conversational access so questions don’t bottleneck on the analytics team
- Agentic monitoring so the system surfaces issues instead of waiting for someone to notice them

If your existing stack already does all of that, you don’t need this. If it doesn’t, that’s the gap this hub is designed to expose and close.

Unstructured Data Analytics for Pharma: Why Your Richest Intelligence Never Gets Used

Pharma’s most valuable insights live in unstructured content (CRM call notes, MSL interaction reports, payer meeting summaries, slide decks, emails/PDFs), but they rarely get analyzed at scale—so teams end up relying on skims and anecdotes; it then explains how Tellius uses AI agents to connect to those sources, extract entities (products, competitors, objections, sentiment), cluster recurring themes, and answer natural-language questions with supporting citations, highlighting a biotech example where analyzing 15,000+ MSL reports helped surface competitive signals faster and cut manual synthesis from weeks to same day.
