How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerController asks in Slack with an identifierSlack
  • LogicParse contract/customer and period
  • ActionQuery recognition detail for the entityGoogle BigQueryBigQuery
  • ActionExplain the timing varianceOpenAI
  • OutputReply in the Slack threadSlack

What it does

Gives the controller a self-serve way to investigate a single contract or customer's recognition timing without writing SQL. They ask in Slack, the workflow runs the lookup, and an explained answer comes back in the same thread.

When to use it

Use it during close reviews or audit prep when someone asks "why is this customer's recognized revenue off?" and you want an answer in seconds rather than a ticket to the data team.

How it works

  1. 1A Slack message or slash command with a contract or customer identifier triggers the workflow.
  2. 2A logic step parses the identifier and period from the request.
  3. 3BigQuery returns recognized vs. scheduled revenue and the recognition schedule detail for that entity.
  4. 4OpenAI explains the timing variance, the driver, and whether it self-corrects in a future period.
  5. 5The explanation and figures post back as a threaded Slack reply.
