Input -> UX -> Report workflow

The product experience buyers should see before and after upload.

Input	Required CSV fields are visible before upload; sample CSV and mapping template are available.
UX	Buyer sees preview, column mapping, source-fit checks, validation, sample mode, and private diagnostic path.
Diagnostic	FinanceMind AI runs deterministic checks and attaches source-backed evidence before scoring.
Report	FinanceMind AI Working Capital Report separates uploaded-data evidence, assumptions, limitations, confidence tiers, and owner actions.
Governance	No ERP write-back, no autonomous remediation, human review, audit metadata, and score-history context stay visible.
Next action	Run the engine, review evidence, assign owners, and repeat the diagnostic cadence for score movement.

How the diagnostic works

FinanceMind AI must make the buyer journey inspectable before, during, and after the pilot.

Finance sees inventory value but not the operational evidence needed to defend recoverability, carrying cost, or renewal value. The product standard is not a feature list; it is a governed decision path from input data to reportable action.

Input readiness Minimum upload: Material Id, Stock Value. Engine-specific context adds Description, Quantity, Unit Cost, Duplicate Family, Carrying Cost Rate.

Workflow clarity Sample data, private upload, column mapping, validation, diagnostic run, review, report, action, and rerun stay visible.

Evidence quality Evidence must expose stock value, duplicate exposure, carrying-cost assumption, review status, recovery scenario with reason codes, review levels, and source context.

Report value Output contract: FinanceMind AI Working Capital Report. It separates uploaded evidence, assumptions, limitations, and actions.

Governance boundary No ERP write-back, no autonomous remediation, owner review, audit metadata, and owner assignment remain explicit.

Competitive defense Buyer may compare Anaplan, Oracle EPM Cloud, SAP Analytics Cloud, Workday Adaptive Planning. AI2COE must prove low-risk diagnostic evidence before larger spend.

Enterprise Product Comparison

FinanceMind AI is positioned against the alternatives buyers already evaluate.

The comparison lens is intentionally fair: some buyers need a full MDM suite, EAM/APM platform, source-to-pay workflow, AI governance platform, or advisory program. AI2COE should run first when the buyer needs exported-data proof, review levels, report output, and no ERP write-back before committing broader spend.
