> AI standardizes TB data across periods, builds the QoE model, identifies add-backs with source-document evidence, and drafts the data-book — senior analysts focus on judgment calls, not reformatting.

## The Problem

Quality-of-earnings work for Individual Tax targets starts with 18 months of trial balances and a dozen schedules that need normalization before any adjustment can be proposed.

## What We Build

AI standardizes TB data across periods, builds the QoE model, identifies add-backs with source-document evidence, and drafts the data-book — senior analysts focus on judgment calls, not reformatting.
