The Problem

What CFOs are being asked right now.

What did AI return?

AI tools are now a material line item with no clear link to output.

Is capitalization defensible?

Time sheets and estimates do not survive an audit well.

Where is R&D going?

Spend splits between new features, maintenance and unplanned work are guesses.

FAQ

Questions engineering leaders ask

Does finance need engineering access?
No. Finance users get role based views and scheduled reports.
Is capitalization data audit ready?
Capitalization follows rules you set to identify eligible work and produces monthly reports with capitalized effort, contributors and FTE distribution, with up to 36 months of past reports available. Resource Allocation lets you drill from each cost down to the issues and contributors behind it.
