About This Automation

Automation extracts and validates input data, audits formulas and unit conversions, spot-checks results, and verifies report formatting in parallel. Reviewers receive a detailed audit log and can focus on exception handling and final approval rather than routine verification.

Key features
Extract and validate input values against source documents and project contracts automatically
Inspect spreadsheet formulas, verify unit conversions, and flag calculation errors with an audit log
Spot-check key results and confirm outputs match documented calculation methods
Validate report structure, heading consistency, table formatting, and figure labelling against company template
Route submissions with findings to reviewers for exception handling and final sign-off
Log all QA decisions and audit trails in a centralized tracker for compliance
