NET CHANGE

Total ARR movement

COMPONENT

The AI separates the movement into categories like new logos, upsells, and churn. This shows you exactly where the money came from or went.

DATA

The AI identifies the specific customer accounts responsible for the largest swings. You get the names behind the numbers.

HUMAN

Strategic decisions

The AI provides the math, but you decide how to react to the churn or expansion trends it uncovers.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my billing data?

    No. The AI only reads your data to perform calculations. It cannot edit, delete, or create records in your billing system.

  • 02

    Does the AI handle currency conversion?

    The AI calculates based on the raw data provided in your billing source. It does not perform independent currency conversions unless the data is already normalized.

  • 03

    Can I ask for a breakdown of a single customer?

    Yes. Once the data is connected, you can ask for specific details on any account's revenue changes.

  • 04

    Will the AI automatically run reports every month?

    No. The AI only performs the analysis when you explicitly ask it to via your AI client.

  • 05

    What happens if my data is missing a month?

    The AI can only bridge the data it can see. If a month is missing from your source, the AI cannot calculate the delta for that period.
