- requirements and context
- existing standards
- failure and edge cases
verify: outputs + checks + handoffWhy a specialist workflow matters
A polished financial model is not useful if its assumptions, timing, signs, sources, and reconciliation cannot be traced.
Finance work links income statements, balance sheets, cash flows, operating drivers, market information, and business judgments.
These skills help Codex separate historical facts from assumptions, preserve calculation flow, test scenarios, and state uncertainty without presenting projections as guarantees.
