Executive use case 02

Run board and MBR packs from live data - not from last week's spreadsheet.

The board pack is the most expensive document the business produces every month - and the most fragile. Helm generates board and monthly business review packs from the live twin, with narratives grounded in source systems and every number traceable back to where it came from.

What it does

The pack assembles itself from the model.

01 / PACK STUDIO

Board, ExCo & MBR templates

Your existing pack structure, encoded once. Sections, tables and commentary slots that refill from the twin every cycle.

02 / LIVE NUMBERS

Numbers straight from the twin

No re-keying, no copy-paste, no version drift. Every figure is pulled live from source through the model.

03 / NARRATIVE

Auto-drafted commentary

Twin-grounded narrative for each section - what moved, why, and what is binding - drafted for human review, never asserted blind.

04 / LINEAGE

Every number cited

Each value links back to source data and twin lineage. Drill from a board slide to the underlying transaction in two clicks.

05 / CONSISTENCY

One source of truth

The same number means the same thing across operations, finance and the board. Reconciliation stops being a job.

06 / CADENCE

Built for month-end

Regenerate the whole pack when the numbers change on Friday afternoon - in minutes, not another lost weekend.

Walkthrough

From source systems to a board-ready pack.

The Analyst opens the pack template, refills every section from the live twin, drafts the narrative against the drivers that actually moved, and leaves the executive team to review and approve - not rebuild. A live walkthrough of this workflow is in production and will be published here.

  • Pack template encoded once, refilled every cycle
  • Commentary drafted against twin drivers, then reviewed by a human
  • Every figure carries lineage back to source

How it works

Encode the pack once. Regenerate it every cycle.

STEP 01 · ENCODE

Encode the pack

Your real board and MBR structure is mapped to the twin once - sections, tables, KPIs and the commentary slots that go with them. No new template to learn; we model the one you already use.

  • Existing pack structure preserved
  • Sections mapped to twin metrics
  • Commentary slots defined
STEP 02 · GENERATE

Generate from the twin

At each cycle the pack refills from live source data through the model. The Analyst drafts the narrative for each section against the drivers that moved - variance, constraints, initiatives - in plain language.

  • Numbers pulled live, not re-keyed
  • Driver-anchored narrative drafted
  • Charts and tables built to template
STEP 03 · REVIEW

Review & approve

The executive team reviews a complete draft instead of building one. Every number is traceable to source, edits flow back, and the approved pack ships with full lineage intact.

  • Review a draft, not a blank page
  • Drill any number to source
  • Audit-ready lineage retained
Used by

CFO. Company secretary. FP&A. Investor relations.

Anyone who has ever spent a Saturday rebuilding a deck because the numbers changed Friday afternoon - and anyone who answers for those numbers in the room.

Outcomes our customers report

  • Days, not weeks from period close to a reviewed pack.
  • One source of truth across operations, finance and the board.
Where this lives

Pack automation is part of the Understand pillar.

Performance explained by the model - with board, ExCo and MBR pack automation drafted from the same twin that answers the questions.
