CFO's Copilot — conversational finance dashboard for non-finance execs that explains metrics, sources the numbers, and flags uncertainty
A daily-briefing-style web/Slack app for founders and finance leads that turns raw accounting/sales data into plain-English summaries — every figure linked back to the SQL and source table, with confidence flags on shaky numbers.
Founders and finance leads at 10–200 person companies who check metrics daily but don't want to live in spreadsheets
- Daily morning brief: 'revenue up 8%, but two of those segments are flagged as low-confidence — click to investigate'
- Plain-English explanations of unfamiliar metrics with drill-down to source data
- Anomaly detection that explains *why* a number moved, not just that it did
- Audit-ready export: every number traceable to a query and timestamp
The repo's confidence-scoring and traceability framework is exactly what finance leaders have been begging AI vendors for — visible provenance and explicit 'don't trust this' signals rather than hallucinated confidence.
