What is the Financial Engine and how does driver-based modeling work?

The Financial Engine is an institutional 3-statement modeling cockpit that connects revenue growth, R&D capital allocation, headcount capacity, and operating leverage drivers to real-time cash flow and 5-year DCF projections.

How do autonomous code velocity and R&D capital efficiency impact software valuations?

The Financial Engine models how autonomous engineering velocity, 1-year lagged R&D return on investment, and ASC 350-40 internal-use software capitalization compound EBITDA and 5-year free cash flow.

Can I export audit-ready Excel models and executive memos?

Yes, the Financial Engine supports instant exports to 5-tab audit-ready Excel workbooks (.xlsx), 1-page PDF executive memos, CSV data tables, and scenario comparison bridges.

How do I run the 150 financial workflows and export a 3-slide presentation deck?

Prompt the Financial Copilot in plain English (for example, 'Model the deferred revenue waterfall workflow' or '/problem 12') or open the 150 Financial Workflows view to compare the before-and-after workflow, quantify annual P&L drag and recoverable EBITDA, and print or share a 3-slide executive deck.
