Revenue Recognition Entries for the current period total $31,200 less than what Invoices show as billed, mostly in contracts renewed last quarter with amended terms. Worth reconciling before you close.
How an agent works
An agent watches one thing and acts on it. Not a workflow, just a standing watch that usually does nothing and acts the moment it should.
You stay in control
An agent does what you'd do, and only what you've authorized.
The same trusted numbers
It acts on the same governed metrics as your dashboards, and every action is logged and traceable.
You approve anything that writes
It alerts and recommends on its own; anything that changes data is yours to approve.
Try it on a test channel first
Point a new agent at a throwaway channel and watch its judgment before it touches anything real.
No false alarms
It remembers what it already flagged and waits before acting again, so it won't alert you about the same thing twice.
What you can put an agent on
Tie your recognized revenue to billings and the bank
It reconciles your SaasOptics revenue schedules against what was actually billed and what landed in the bank, and flags the gaps before close, so the revenue on your board deck is a number you can defend. You're never explaining a recognition discrepancy you found too late.
Surface renewal risk before the contract lapses
When a contract is approaching its renewal date and the usage or billing pattern suggests risk, it tells you which customer, how much ARR is at stake, and what changed since the last term, so you can act before the renewal quietly lapses into churn.
Watch the deferred revenue waterfall for surprises
It tracks your deferred revenue roll-forward period over period, and tells you when the balance shifts in a way that doesn't match the booking pattern, so you catch the scheduling error or the amended contract before it compounds through your financials.
Run any Python it needs to get the job done
Beyond alerts and write-backs, an agent can run arbitrary Python, so it can do whatever the task actually requires: call an API, kick off a job, reshape the data, or wire into your own tooling. The action space is yours to define.
Why not just build it yourself?
You could rig one of these with a cron job and a Slack webhook in an afternoon. The watching is the easy part. Here's what you'd own forever, and don't, here:
- →The cross-source join: not one tool's data, but it reconciled against the rest of your stack
- →A trusted, consistent metric: the same number your dashboards use
- →The investigation into why, when something fires
- →A full audit trail of everything it did
- →The upkeep, when the schema drifts or the script breaks at 2am
The data it works from
Every SaasOptics object, modeled and query-ready the moment you connect.
It runs on your real SaasOptics account (the amended contracts, the mid-term upgrades, the recognition schedule adjustments and all), not a tidy demo.
Where it acts
Slack
A message in the channel you choose, with the context and a button to act on it.
A summary in the inbox of the people who need to see it.
Webhook
A payload to your own systems, to wire the agent into whatever you already run.
Warehouse write-back
A flag written back to your warehouse for everything downstream to pick up.
Hand off to Fi
Kick the question to Fi to investigate the why and propose the fix.
MCP
Expose it to your own agents and tools over MCP, and drive it from your stack.
Run it in your own VPC or fully self-hosted. Everything it does is pure SQL and Python you can inspect.
