How the work flows

  1. Step 0101

    On Monday, the managing partner opens the firm view: what is drifting comes first, with the reason.

  2. Step 0202

    They open a figure and see the matters and time entries behind it.

  3. Step 0303

    Before hiring, they run the scenario and see the effect on cash.

  4. Step 0404

    The decision is recorded in the register, with its documents.

What the AI prepares

  • The managing partner's weekly brief.
  • The explanation of a variance: which matters, which teams, which reason.
  • Anomalies: a matter burning its budget twice as fast as comparable ones.

What stays with you

  • Objectives and their thresholds.
  • Decisions of the managing partner and the board.
  • The allocation between partners.
