Aperio FP&A
An FP&A tool that computes the numbers deterministically and lets an LLM add commentary. Never the other way around.
Why it's built this way
AI is genuinely good at explaining a number and genuinely bad at being trusted to produce one. So the calculations happen the boring reliable way, the model narrates what changed and why, and a human signs off before anything goes out the door.
Pipeline
- Financial data in
- Deterministic calculations
- AI commentary generated
- Human review
- Report out
Decision
AI commentary always runs after the numbers, never inside them.
Why
A wrong number that sounds plausible is worse than an obviously wrong one. The model can explain the output. It doesn't get to become the output.
It's been through a full security and product audit, the unglamorous kind of fix, webhook hardening, server-side PDF export, that nobody notices until it's missing.
