Beyond the fragile 13-week spreadsheet
Move weekly cash reviews from fragile spreadsheets to API-backed signals while keeping human ownership of assumptions.
13-week models break when one broken link cascades. APIs do not replace judgment — they replace brittle plumbing by standardizing inputs and outputs each week while humans still own scenario assumptions.
Hybrid operating model
Keep scenario knobs in your planning tool but ingest Cashytics JSON for baseline cash tension signals each Monday. Diff week-over-week drivers automatically when narratives shift materially.
Assign one owner for envelope definitions so category mappings do not drift between treasury and FP&A copies of the model.
Roll-forward reconciliation
Tie each week’s opening balance to the prior week’s closing with explicit adjustment lines for timing — auditors ask for this even when the tool is automated.
Committee packs
Embed QR or internal links to archived JSON in PDF packs so board members who want detail can self-serve without emailing analysts.
Migration path
Run API-backed baselines in parallel with legacy spreadsheets for two cycles before you retire tabs — that builds trust and catches mapping bugs early.
