Why this works

Monthly income statement commentary follows the same structure every month. AI builds the framework from your data; you refine with business intelligence.

Risks & review

Risks: AI may infer incorrect causation. Always validate drivers against actual business knowledge. Control: Controller reviews all commentary before distribution.
