Beacon
Board-ready prose, grounded in the record.
Beacon is the intelligence layer that interrogates the system. Every answer traces back to contracts, snapshots, and deterministic data. It accelerates the work of explaining what moved — without fabricating certainty.
Forecast ARR moved +$148.4K between V4 snapshot and V5 snapshot, driven primarily by a closed expansion at Belknap & HartC-0142 and a confirmed renewal at Ashbury & Vance HealthC-0098.
A loss at Threnody & Coole LogisticsC-0211 partially offset the gain, and the renewal timing for Halberd & QuinnC-0177 shifted from Q3 to Q4 — reducing the period contribution by $67.2K.
AI that guesses is worse than no AI at all.
Finance teams have been handed AI assistants that hallucinate numbers, fabricate confidence, and produce prose no CFO would put their name on. The output looks polished. It can't be defended.
Board commentary doesn't need creativity. It needs accuracy, traceability, and the ability to survive scrutiny. Every sentence should be reconstructable from the underlying record.
Ask the system. Get a contract-grounded answer.
Beacon understands HarborOS natively — contracts, lifecycle state, snapshots, variance. Ask why renewals slipped, where expansion came from, which assumptions moved. Answers cite the records they came from.
The question stays in plain language. The answer stays in the data.
Three renewals shifted state between V4 snapshot and V5 snapshot. Combined ARR exposure: $612,400.
Board prose, drafted from the diff.
When a new snapshot lands, Beacon drafts the variance commentary from the underlying movement. You read it, confirm it matches judgment, and send it. The system writes the first pass. You stay the author of record.
The draft is a starting point — never a substitute for the CFO's signature.
Forecast ARR moved +$148.4K over the cycle, ending at $17.53M. The net is composed of one closed expansion, one confirmed renewal, one renewal lost, and a single timing shift.
The largest contributor was the Belknap & HartC-0142 expansion of $180K closed mid-cycle. The Ashbury & Vance HealthC-0098 renewal landed at full contract value. Offsets came from Threnody & CooleC-0211 (lost at renewal) and a Q3 → Q4 timing shift at Halberd & QuinnC-0177.
Gross retention held at 96.4%; net retention rose +1.2 pts on the expansion.
Every answer carries its receipts.
Beacon never produces a sentence without the underlying evidence attached. Every claim links to the contract, the snapshot version, or the deterministic computation behind it.
Trust is mechanical, not asserted.
Net new ARR of +$148.4K traces to expansion at Belknap & HartC-0142, renewal at Ashbury & Vance HealthC-0098, churn at Threnody & CooleC-0211, and timing slip at Halberd & QuinnC-0177 — all reconciled against the V5 snapshot.
A CFO should never put their name on a sentence they can't reconstruct. Beacon writes the first draft. The record writes the truth.
Beacon reads from every surface. It is the system speaking back.
