FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my original budget spreadsheet?

    No. The AI only reads your data to perform calculations; it cannot modify your source files.

  • 02

    Does the AI decide if a pilot was successful?

    No. The AI evaluates the pilot based on the metrics you provide, but you make the final judgment on the results.

  • 03

    What data does the AI need to calculate ROI?

    It needs access to your prize pool totals and the specific outcome data from your pilots.

  • 04

    Can I use this with Claude?

    Yes, as long as you are using an MCP-compatible client like Claude Desktop.

  • 05

    Will the AI delete any of my pilot records?
