The close that
writes itself.
A continuous monitoring agent watches the GL between closes - baselined by account, cost center, and month-of-year. You teach it what is real in minutes. At month-end, a guarded narrator turns penny-tied variance bridges into board-grade commentary where every number is computed and every judgment cites its source.
The agent notices
Robust month-of-year baselines per GL account × cost center, plus a leg against the active forecast version. Score = statistical surprise × dollar materiality × relevance weight.
You teach it
Disposition each finding - real, noise, known-recurring - with a note. Rules draft themselves; you activate. Agent memory stays visible, and month N+1 provably behaves differently.
The narrator delivers
Rate/volume/mix, headcount×rate, and level bridges that tie to the penny feed cited commentary - per line, per LOB, and a company summary judged against expectation bands.
The guard enforces
Every numeric token in every narrative string-matches a deterministically computed figure, or a deterministic fallback ships instead. The discipline is code, not a prompt.
Notice. Teach. Narrate. Repeat, smarter.
One loop per month. The agent notices intra-month, the analyst teaches it what's real, and at close the narrator writes commentary where every number is computed and every judgment is grounded. The teaching returns to the top of next month's loop - that's the compounding.
Blue chips mark the deterministic layer - the math the narrator is never allowed to do for itself. The dashed blue return edge is the product: a disposition in month N provably changes month N+1 behavior.
Zero LLM-computed numbers.
The claim the whole product stands on, drawn as the pipeline that enforces it.
Notice. Teach. Narrate.
Run the monitor
Scheduled or on demand: 21,585 cells baselined and scored; suppression rules applied with attribution; the top findings briefed by a guarded model.
Disposition in minutes
Real, noise, or known-recurring - with a note. Drafted rules wait for your activation; every verdict becomes retrieval memory.
Run the close
Bridges compute, expectations judge, the narrator writes, the guard verifies. The board page renders commentary with citation chips down to the GL transaction.
Notice everything.
Explain every dollar.
Close Intel gives FP&A a monitor that never sleeps, a memory that compounds, and commentary the board can trust to the penny.
