ConceptFrom Inbox to Finished Budget
Budgets arrive as email attachments, created with the industry's budgeting tools. The planned agent fetches them straight from the inbox: import, map, then have its own result checked once more — by the same second opinion that has already proven itself at the film fund.
The result is deliberately a draft, not a fact: what the agent prepares, a person reviews before it counts.

Why Two Agents
The first agent does the grunt work: spot the attachment, read the file, map the line items to the chart of accounts. The second checks what the first has built with an independent eye — the same invisible-second-opinion architecture that is already running in production elsewhere.
That a system may not sign off on its own output is not a detail here; it is the point. Only the separation of producing and checking turns an impressive demo feature into a tool that holds up.
