- BoK. Method, decisions, recipes and data for the topic, ready to adapt to your case.
- The implementation
- Services. The Arcogi team and the CoE apply the recipes to your case, as contracted.
- Where the operation runs

What the market is facing
Finance needs a single number, reconciled with operations, to decide and to close the period.
Pains the cookbook solves
Each pain has an answer in recipes applicable to your case.
What it costs today: Local metrics that do not match the corporate number.
What the cookbook changes: Parity between local metrics and the corporate financial grammar.
What it costs today: Cost and benefit of decisions with no attribution.
What the cookbook changes: Attribution of cost and benefit by decision.
What it costs today: Forecasts without explicit assumptions.
What the cookbook changes: Scenarios with declared assumptions.
Executive view
Decisions gain method, indicators defined beforehand and a reading of the effect afterwards.
Recipes in the cookbook

- Investigate reconciliation breaks and decide an adjustment
- Project forecast and scenario with explicit assumptions
- Close the effect and record economic learning
What your leadership receives
- Prioritized decisions, with an owner and a baseline.
- Recipes applied to your case, first in shadow operation.
- Indicators defined beforehand and measured afterwards.
- The proposal for the next step, with an exit criterion.
Indicators tracked
Revenue, margin, cost to serve, working capital, cash, provision, credit and realized value
Technical view
Which data goes in, how the recipe is organized and where it connects.
Data and source systems
- Accounting and controllership
- Billing and receipts
- Costs and budget
- Operations and commercial metrics
Connections
Open to adapters and connectors with the ecosystems you already use, such as Snowflake, Databricks, AWS, GCP, Microsoft and others. Connections are defined in each project.
What comes with each recipe
- Problem and decisionGoal, context, alternatives and expected result.
- Data and indicatorsSources, definitions, quality and starting reference.
- People and agentsOwners, activities and approvals.
- Application and evidenceAdaptation roadmap, tests, exceptions and measurement.
How to start
From the first case to continuous operation, a ladder with an exit criterion at each step.
Organize and govern what already runs
Organization & Agents
Organize and govern the agents that already exist, each with an owner, an accepted limit and a record of every act.
Structure the first case
VÉRTICE Executivo
A critical decision is read end to end: data, owners and baseline. It ends with the chosen recipes and the proposal for the next step.
Apply a capability
Decision Sprint
One to three recipes run in shadow operation, beside the human decision, on the baseline.
Operate and follow
MDC · Managed Decision Cell
The recipes start operating under supervision, and the effect is tracked against the baseline.
Recipes guide adaptation and supervised implementation. Scope, integrations and acceptance criteria are defined in the proposal; examples and screens use synthetic data.
Which part of your operation needs to move forward?
Start with a recurring decision or an outcome that matters. Together we identify the data, people and first capability required.
