Step 1: Upload the Source Document

  • Upload the company's pitch deck, business plan, or loan application into Data Agent


Step 2: Extract Forecasted Metrics


  • Create a Simple Columns to extract: Projected Revenue, Business Credit Score, Requested Loan Amount from the uploaded file.

  • Create a Smart Column to analyze and manipulate extracted data:

    Based on available information in the document calculate a Financial Health Score on a scale of 0-100, where higher scores indicate stronger financial standing.


Step 3: Research Additional Insights Online

  • Create a Smart Column with prompt:

Step 4: Compare Internal Forecasts to Public Data

  • Add a Web Search Column with prompt

    Compare information provided as a source document to company's public fillings on SEC and if any discrepancies found output result in a format: "X Discrepancies", if no discrepancies found write "No Discrepancies" If unable to check write "Manual Check Needed"


  • Optionally, apply conditional formatting to flag major differences.


Step 5: Ask Follow-Up Questions Using Table Chat

  • Use the built-in AI chat to query the dataset for deeper insights.

  • Example Follow-up Questions:

    Which companies have best financial health?

    List businesses with the highest reported liabilities compared to assets.

    Summarize companies that have highest business associated risks in next 12-24 months?

Best Practices

  • Target official sources (SEC.gov, Yahoo Finance, Bloomberg) in web search prompts for highest reliability.

  • Refine prompts if data returned is inconsistent or incomplete.

  • Keep uploaded documents clean and structured to help extraction accuracy.
