Steering committee packs for consulting, IT and engineering firms
Your firm does not run on Excel.It runs on 40 versions of Excel.
Drop the staffing file, the budget file and the tracker exactly as they are. A model reads them the way a good analyst would, reconciles them, and returns your steering committee pack — live link, pack PDF and editable deck.
Merged cells, dead tabs, three spellings of the same consultant, a #REF! hiding in the revenue total. The mess is the input, not something to fix first. Every number we could not resolve is named rather than guessed.
The first pack is free: up to 3 files, one full pack, no card, no account. Your work email is asked for once, at the end, after the pack exists. Or read a finished pack first.

01 · the input
Forty versions of the truth, reconciled by hand on Thursday night.
Every week someone opens the staffing file, the budget file, the tracker, and the copy a colleague made just in case. The numbers disagree. Nobody sees the consultant booked at 130% or the project at −22.7% until close. This is what a firm actually drops on us, verbatim.

No tool wants to touch input like this. A suite requires the mess to have been cleaned up before it arrives, and a BI layer breaks the moment a column moves. We treat the mess as permanent.
02
02 · the consolidation
A model reads your files. Then it says what it found.
It infers what each tab and column means, reconciles people and projects across files, recomputes margin and allocation, and flags what it cannot resolve instead of guessing. Between 60 and 180 seconds. You can close the tab; the pack finishes anyway.
Nobody has to change how they work, so there is nothing to adopt and nothing that can fail to be adopted. Next cycle, drop the same files with new numbers and regenerate.

The flagging is the product, as much as the consolidation.
“These two names are the same person, and she is at 130%” is a finding a partner will pay for, and no suite will ever produce it — because a suite needs the mess cleaned up before it arrives. One sentence per finding, with the sources it came from.
“Sarah Laurent” and “S. Laurent” are one person — booked at 130% across 2 files.

What we refused to guess is written down and asked as a plain question. Answer it or skip it; the pack is delivered either way, and the answer is remembered for every future cycle.
- Two Budget tabs disagree by $18,400. Which one is current — Budget or Budget_new?
- Is “Nair P.” in the tracker the same person as “P. Nair” in staffing?

05 · instead of
What everything else asks of you first.
The real incumbent is not a suite. It is the analyst rebuilding the same deck on Thursday, plus the freelance PMO consultant a firm pays €800 a day to build it again.
| Approach | What it asks of you first | Where it stops |
|---|---|---|
| An ERP or professional-services suite | Months of implementation, data entry and change management | The first report arrives after the rollout, if the rollout lands |
| Power BI or a consolidation tool | Clean, stable inputs and a schema that never moves | It breaks the week a column moves or someone saves a new version |
| A generic spreadsheet AI tool | One tidy file and a prompt | You get a chart, not the pack a partner reads |
| The analyst on Thursday night | One consultant-day a week, forever | Too busy reconciling to notice the 130% booking or the −22.7% project |
| Operations Cell | The files you already have, exactly as they are | It does not stop at a chart: link, PDF and editable deck, with the unresolved named |

07 · data and next
Drop the mess. Read the findings.
No migration, no implementation, no column mapping, and nothing for your team to learn. The first pack exists before any commitment does.
The drop zone takes files, not a signup. Nothing is charged on the first pack, and there is no waitlist to join.
data handling
- We never keep the spreadsheet itself: it is read in memory and discarded.
- What we do keep is encrypted at rest and never used to train models.
- One button deletes every source and every consolidation immediately, and states exactly what went. Written confirmation from ope@nanocorp.app on request.
- Packs already produced stay readable, even after a Pass ends.
