The honest AI CFO

The whole C-suite,
in your pocket.

Runs the numbers like a CFO. Watches operations like a COO. Calls the plays like a CEO. Honest like none of them. Real statistical engines read your business and tell you what changed, why, and what to do — with the math attached to every claim.

A preview of the Counsel app: the morning brief reads “Trailing 30 days are up 12% on the 30 before,” a sentinel notes every day is inside its weekday band, and metric tiles show revenue with tap-to-open math receipts.

Receipts, not narratives

The incumbents ship AI that summarizes.
Counsel ships AI that shows its work.

Fluent paragraphs with no error bars are a new kind of risk. Every claim Counsel makes carries the method that produced it, the confidence it deserves, and a tap-to-open receipt. When the math can't support a claim, it says so — refusal over guessing, always.

Them — LLM narratives
Counsel — receipts
“Revenue looks a bit soft this month.”
“Structural break Mar 6, −28%, p < 0.001 — Welch test, your ledger.”
A single forecast number
A range with a confidence band — ranges are the honest answer
“Consider reviewing your pricing.”
“Measured elasticity −0.7 from your own price change; +5% projects ≈ $556/mo. Track it; grade it in 30 days.”

Three rooms, one advisor

The morning read. The statement.
The engine room.

Today — the morning brief

Urgency earns its register

A 5% dip gets calm. Spending at 2× revenue gets urgency — with visible thresholds. The advisor's tone is itself a claim with receipts.

P&L — the statement

The statement owners already read

Revenue by product, expenses by vendor, net by month — every line collapsible to its receipts, plus an honest month-end projection with a band.

Insights — the lab

Nine engines, real milliseconds

Each engine checks in by name with its actual timing. Watch the whole battery run on your phone in under a second — that's Aurora working.

Math with a pedigree

The math your accountant's software doesn't have.

Counsel is powered by Aurora, a glass-box statistical engine whose Rust core is parity-tested against scientific reference implementations. These aren't dashboard tricks — they're the same instruments serious rooms run, sized to your shop and translated into plain English.

Change-points

PELT detection

Finds the exact day your numbers structurally changed — not a dip, a regime change.

The detector genomics labs use.
Survival

Kaplan–Meier

Knows who's quietly gone versus who just hasn't come back yet — the math can tell the difference.

The method hospitals use to read patient outcomes.
Risk

Monte Carlo

Runs a thousand plausible versions of your next 90 days and counts how many go wrong.

How engineers stress-test bridges — applied to your cash.
Inventory

Newsvendor fractile

Balances the cost of running out against the cost of sitting on stock — an optimum, not a hunch.

The model airlines and major retailers run at scale.
Advice with a batting average

Counsel proposes. You commit.
The math grades.

Every insight can become a tracked decision contract: the action, the expected outcome, the dollars at stake, and a judgment date. When the window closes, the outcome gets graded against the numbers — held, mixed, or missed. No other advisor keeps score on itself.

1

Propose

The engines surface computed contracts — “Run the +5% price test · $556/mo at stake.” Never invented, only measured.

2

Commit

One tap moves it to your board: considering → testing → grading. The expected outcome is written down before the result exists.

3

Grade

The window closes and the call gets judged against the ledger — building a track record: “83% held of 12 graded.”

Steady · the calm is earned

“Every recent day inside its weekday band. Quiet is a finding.

When Counsel is calm, it's because the math checked — weekday norms, holiday-aware, robust to outliers.

Critical · act, don't watch

“Spending is running 2.0× revenue — this needs action now, not observation.”

Severity has visible thresholds. The register shifts when the numbers demand it — same handwriting, harder truth.

Private by architecture

Airplane mode works.

That's not a slogan — it's a testable claim. The engines run in your hand, your books stay on your device, and the sync service holds encrypted tokens, never your data.

Analysis on your device

Aurora's Rust core compiled to WebAssembly runs the full battery locally — change-points in milliseconds, no server in the loop.

Tokens, not books

Connect Stripe, Square, Shopify, your bank — read-only. The cloud stores AES-encrypted access tokens only; transactions pass through to your device and are never persisted.

Nothing sold, nothing trained

No ads, no analytics SDKs, no training on your data. Export everything or delete everything, any time, from Settings.

Built for the real economy

It speaks your line of work.

A food truck thinks in service days. A landscaper thinks in job days. A maker thinks in market stalls. Counsel tailors what it leads with — and its working-day P&L — to 44 lines of work.

One business, many pipes. Connect each tool once — a single sync merges every register into one ledger, the bank feeds expenses, and every engine reads the whole picture. Or skip accounts entirely and drop in a CSV — parsed on your device, never uploaded.
