Does it write the commentary alone?

It drafts. FP&A edits and approves, and the CFO signs off the pack.

Can it use our reporting template?

Yes. It writes into your template, not a new one.

How do you measure it?

By the share of commentary FP&A accepts without a rewrite, and the rework rate on the pack.

Is it sold on its own?

Yes, from $12,000, or as part of a finance operations pilot.
