Capital budgeting ran on spreadsheets and email, with every stage re-keying the same numbers and approvals that restarted from scratch whenever one timed out.
So we made one request one record, from concept to disposal: budget, approval, PO, asset, and depreciation all read from the same place. IRR, NPV, payback, and ROI stay live on every read instead of being rebuilt in the next spreadsheet, and an approval that times out escalates rather than starting over.
Role-scoped AI tools sit on top. Each one proposes, cites the records behind every number, and never writes on its own, so a person stays on the decision. The re-keying and the document hunt are gone.
