Bringing clarity, structure, and intelligence to the spreadsheets finance depends on.
AI is transforming the way finance teams work — from drafting insights to accelerating analysis. But the models that drive financial decision-making still live in spreadsheets, and these spreadsheets contain logic that generic AI tools often struggle to interpret accurately.
This complexity exists at two levels:
1. The logic inside a single spreadsheet
Even one workbook can include nested formulas, hidden sheets, long calculation chains, and structures that require precise, context-aware interpretation.
Coherent is purpose-built to read and interpret this logic faithfully — which is why our Excel Analyzer outperforms general AI tools when analyzing individual models.
2. The logic that emerges across an entire spreadsheet estate
Finance teams rarely work from one model. They rely on hundreds or thousands of interconnected spreadsheets over months and years. These models carry institutional knowledge, business rules, ownership, versions, and dependencies that form a much larger system of logic.
This is where the Coherent platform creates a step change — by structuring, connecting, and governing that logic at scale.
When spreadsheet logic becomes both accurate at the file level and connected at the estate level, finance teams — and the AI tools that support them — can operate with dramatically greater clarity and confidence.
The Coherent platform enables exactly that.
The Opportunity: Understanding Both the Model and the Estate
General-purpose AI tools handle individual file uploads well enough to generate summaries or surface observations, but they were not designed to interpret Excel logic with precision — especially when formulas become complex or flow across sheets.
Coherent’s Excel Analyzer was designed specifically for this challenge.
It reads calculation chains, formula dependencies, and rule logic the way a domain expert would — producing structured, explainable insights from a single model.
But the real transformation comes from what happens next.
Finance teams don’t just manage one file. They manage ecosystems of models.
The Coherent platform elevates this reality by connecting models across teams, versions, years, and business processes — revealing how your spreadsheet estate truly functions.
Uploading a file is simple.
Understanding a financial model — and the system it belongs to — is not.
This is where Coherent is fundamentally different.
| With Coherent, You Get... | With Generic AI Tools, You Get... |
|---|---|
| Accurate, purpose-built analysis of individual spreadsheets | Summaries of uploaded files without formula-level accuracy |
| Connected intelligence across your spreadsheet estate | No visibility beyond the single file you upload |
| Enterprise-grade lineage, ownership, and risk mapping | No understanding of how models relate to each other |
| Governed APIs that operationalize your financial logic | One-off outputs with no path to integration |
| Defensible, evidence-based results for regulators and auditors | Unverifiable interpretations |
