Finance, sales, and leadership operate on different uncoordinated versions of the quarterly forecast, preventing decision-making.
Existing tools (ERP, BI, AI copilot) accelerate forecast creation but don't solve cross-functional coordination and ownership of assumptions and version control.

- Real-time cross-department version sync and conflict detection
- Audit trail of who changed what and when
- Meeting-ready comparison view of all department forecasts
Target Users: FP&A teams and finance ops in mid-to-large enterprises (50-500 employees) who manage quarterly forecasts
Revenue Model: $39/mo per user SaaS subscription
