FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my actual financial records?

    No. The AI only reads your data to perform calculations. It cannot edit or delete your original files.

  • 02

    Does the AI decide my budget for next year?

    No. The AI provides the efficiency ratio, but you are responsible for all budgeting and strategic decisions.

  • 03

    What happens if my ARR and burn numbers are in different currencies?

    The AI will flag the discrepancy. You must ensure the data is normalized to a single currency before the calculation runs.

  • 04

    Can I use this with any AI client?

    Yes, as long as your client is MCP-compatible, like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

  • 05

    How does the AI know which efficiency tier I am in?

    The AI uses the ratio of net burn to net new ARR to match your performance against standard industry tiers.
