It's about identifying the gaps in your financial structure or governance early on so you don't get blindsided later.

It turns a complex set of requirements into a straightforward evaluation. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Check my revenue health with ARR of $150M, NRR of 115%, and Gross Margin of 75%. ``` **Response:** ``` ### Revenue Health Check **Status:** Healthy Your revenue metrics are solid.
