Not all AI demos are created equal, especially for finance and ops teams. Most default to generic dashboards and surface-level summaries that skip over the complexity these teams actually deal with. We wrote up what leaders should look for, what to demand, and where most demos miss the mark.

Traditional business intelligence and most financial AI tools are effective at calculation but remain static in their understanding of a business. Sapien’s Company Engine takes a different approach by continuously learning a company’s structure, data semantics, and business logic over time rather than treating each analysis as an isolated request. This enables analysis that explains not only what changed, but why it changed, using the definitions and priorities the business actually operates on.
