An example on a fictional company · for owners, CEOs and boards

Ask your numbers why.

Your ERP, CRM, ledger and bank data can be connected to Claude. Then you can click any number, ask a question, and get the answer with its sources in seconds. It doesn't run the company or tell you what's wrong. It lets you ask your own questions directly, instead of sending a request to finance and waiting days.

✳ Claude · Nordhalde reporting Fictional company

€4.6M free on the credit line.
Berlin needs €2M.
Can we?

A scripted example: one question at a time, with Claude and the company's own numbers. Space pauses, → skips ahead.

A scripted example of how such a conversation can look. The numbers come from a fictional company's generated ERP, CRM, ledger and bank data, and the answers are condensed for this page. Making it work like this on a real company's data takes real work: connecting its systems, building the calculations with its own rules, and checking every number.

What this approach is, and what it isn't

It is

  • Check a decision before you make it.“Can we fund Berlin from the credit line?” Each question costs seconds, so you can afford to ask the next one, and to be wrong.
  • Answers you can check.Every reply shows the arithmetic and the records it read: which system, which table, which clause.
  • One view across systems, and your contracts.ERP, CRM, ledger and bank data read together with the agreements behind them.
  • What-if in plain language.“What if we take the €2M in November anyway?” and the forecast recalculates.

It isn't

  • An AI running your company.It doesn't decide, approve or act. You ask; you judge; you decide.
  • An oracle that finds problems for you.It doesn't know what matters to your business. Your instinct picks the question.
  • AI doing your accounting.Every number is calculated by ordinary code from the company's data. Claude reads and explains the results; it doesn't invent or re-compute figures.
  • A replacement for your finance team.You would stop waiting for answers; they would stop building one-off reports, and spend the time on the conversation that follows.

What it takes

1 · The company's data

ERP, CRM, ledger, bank

Read-only access, nothing is changed. Every company's systems are different, so this is built for each one.

2 · Calculation layer

Every number, computed

Statements, aging, borrowing base, forecasts: ordinary code with the company's rules, not AI.

3 · Claude

Reads and explains

Answers your question from those numbers, shows the arithmetic and cites the records.

4 · You

Judge and decide

Pick the next question, or pick up the phone. The decisions stay with you.
