Use cases

Know what it costs to build your intangible assets.

Bring people, AI, contractor and project costs together around the assets your business is creating. Give finance the evidence to assess value and decide which costs qualify for capitalization.

Talk through your process

See the full cost behind an asset.

Connect the work and its costs across teams and systems. Keep recorded costs visible even when finance hasn’t decided how they should be treated.

Measure what changes.

Track cost coverage, evidence quality and preparation time. Finance approves the accounting treatment. Measure any effect on reported EBITDA separately from operating savings.

We agree the baseline with you, build around your systems and keep improving the application as your work changes.

Practical questions

What to know before you start.

Does linked activity automatically establish accounting treatment?

No. Linked records support review. Finance still needs to assess the work against the accounting policy that applies and approve its treatment.

What should the evidence retain?

Keep the work description, project, timing, source records, allocation basis and review decision together. Separate approved treatment from draft classifications.
