Workflow Map
How buyers should frame the shortlist
01
Controls before automation
Finance AI should reduce manual effort without weakening approvals. Start with policies, audit trails, and exception ownership before expanding touchless workflows.
02
Workflow fit over model novelty
A useful finance AI tool fits the system of record, handles edge cases, and gives reviewers enough evidence to approve or reject recommendations.
03
Proof with historical cases
Use past invoices, forecasts, tax issues, fraud alerts, or quotes to test whether the tool improves the exact metric the buyer cares about.
