Every VP says you're aligned, and your P&L says otherwise. Decided checks in weekly with the teams behind each line and tells you which numbers still hold before close.
"Every VP told me we were aligned. Then I'd close the month. Burn up, launch revenue pushed a quarter. Nobody had checked a thing. With Decided, I see it the week it moves." How Decided helps:
Everyone says they're aligned. Finance is where misalignment turns into money: burn, revenue in the wrong quarter, payroll on work nobody funded.
Budget owners send you the optimistic version. Decided asks the people doing the work what changed and shows you where the two don't match. You reforecast that week with a reason and an owner, not at close.
Payroll is your biggest line. Decided shows, priority by priority, which heads sit on work the plan dropped. Before you approve a req, you know whether the team is short of people or stuck on a blocker.
Funded projects stall, decisions wait for weeks, and nobody tells finance while the payroll runs. Decided shows you both, so when the CEO asks if you can afford the next bet, you already know where the money sits.
Clara has a short voice check-in with your leaders, managers and other key people every week. She asks what changed, what's stuck and what needs a decision. Decided puts the answers next to the plan you funded and shows you where they split.
Priority by priority, what the budget assumes next to what each team is actually doing. You see where the money follows the plan and where it doesn't, without walking the halls.
Which inputs moved, what's stuck, which decisions hold up money you're already spending. You walk into the reforecast and the board meeting knowing what to question, before a board member does the math.
At the next check-in Clara asks if the decision was made and who's doing the next step. A cut marked done in the budget review stays open until the teams say it happened.
Revenue was planned on a launch that product already knew would move. Check-ins showed the new date six weeks before the quarter closed. The CFO moved the revenue to the next quarter and brought the reason and the owner to the board.
The CEO wanted to fund a new product line without raising the burn. Check-ins showed two funded projects nobody was working on anymore. The CFO moved their budget to the new bet.
You pay for projects nobody works on anymore. Revenue slips a quarter, and the payroll behind it doesn't. Then a board member finds the miss in your deck.
Those show the numbers and what budget owners report. Decided asks the teams doing the work what changed, which dates moved and what's stuck, then compares that with the plan. It checks the inputs. It doesn't replace your model.
No. It works with priorities, dates, blockers, open decisions and owners. You decide what they mean for burn, EBITDA and the forecast.
Everyone agrees on who sees what before the first check-in, including what finance sees. Decided doesn't score or rank anyone. It shows where the plan and the work split, not who is to blame.
No. Finance sees patterns across teams, not anyone's answers.
A short voice check-in per person each week. No forms, no dashboard to keep up.
Your Google or Outlook calendar for the check-ins, and an org chart you upload. Nothing else.
Start with one line of the P&L you don't trust, such as a launch your revenue depends on or the hiring plan, and the teams behind it. If the first briefs don't change a decision, you have your answer.
