This capability inherits the Financial Planning Analyst's pricing model. The role's launch fee + monthly retainer + role-level usage cover every capability under the role. Adding this capability to an active deployment does not change the price.
What this capability handles
Revenue Recognition reads contract terms from CRM and billing, applies revenue-recognition rules (ASC 606 / IFRS 15), and produces schedules with traceable rationale — flagging judgement cases for review.
Workflow summary

When this capability shows up
Patterns where revenue recognition is part of the launch set, with volume and pricing anchored to each company profile.
Services firm with monthly FP&A pack and rev-rec complexity
Services · 200-400
100 / mo
A 350-person services firm runs monthly FP&A packs with variance, rev-rec, and segment P&L. Assembly takes a week; rev-rec takes another. Material variances surface too late.
Financial Planning Analyst activates all four capabilities. Cash forecast runs weekly; variance analysis ships with commentary; rev-rec schedules generate with traceable rationale; the monthly pack assembles with review-ready drafts.
Expected outcomes: monthly-report lead time down 40-60%, rev-rec cycle down 50-70%, forecast cadence weekly, material variances surfaced in time for action.
Monthly cost
€4.0k–€15k
vs human anchor
€4.7k–€21k
Savings

Upper-mid SaaS with complex rev-rec and multi-entity reporting
SaaS · 400-800
200 / mo
A 700-person multi-entity SaaS company runs 200 FP&A outputs a month spanning entity P&Ls, segment variance, ASC 606 rev-rec, and a board pack. Rev-rec alone takes a week; material variances surface after decisions are already made.
Financial Planning Analyst activates all four capabilities. Cash forecast refreshes weekly; variance ships with entity-level commentary; rev-rec schedules generate with contract-level rationale; the board pack assembles review-ready.
Expected outcomes: monthly-report lead time down 40-60%, rev-rec cycle down 50-70%, forecast cadence weekly held, material variances surfaced in time for action, every output traceable to source data.
Monthly cost
€8.0k–€30k
