On the headline alone, this looks more like a discussion about management systems than a statement about any legal standard. A useful angle is the difference between better prediction and better governance: a tool may help estimate cash flow, matter profitability or staffing pressure, but the harder question is whether partners can later explain why a financial choice was made and what data shaped it. In a comparison, a spreadsheet with clear assumptions can be easier to challenge than a polished dashboard that obscures inputs, even if the latter feels more sophisticated. That matters for internal disputes, budgeting conversations and checking whether the system quietly reinforces old pricing habits. What information would people want recorded so a firm could meaningfully review an AI-influenced financial decision months later?
