Give the model a grounded starting point
We define periods, metric meanings, actual inputs, and assumptions before building the model.
How AI changes the work
AI helps organize inputs, construct scenario models, trace calculation dependencies, and revise the model when assumptions or confirmed inputs change.
Reconciliation and historical comparisons test whether the model behaves plausibly. A desired result is not a reason to change assumptions.
The result
The work produced models, scenario summaries, and review records. Saved assumptions make later revisions easier.
My contribution
I define the business questions and challenge assumptions. AI assists modelling; finance and relevant owners verify their source inputs.
