●Ending cash Q4 FY27: $121.3M, against $119.8M in the plan.

It’s not built for agents.
The agent can calculate an answer. In this session, it has to trace relationships across five sheets, then start another search for the follow-up.
We rebuilt spreadsheets for agents.
Spreadsheets are useful for humans because they’re two-dimensional and tactile. Agents work faster in n-dimensional space. We built REAM, a spreadsheet infra designed specifically for agents.
