Frequently Asked Questions

A managed service, run by people — with AI on a short leash.

VORXI is not software you self-serve and not an AI agent making decisions on its own. It's a managed service: senior finance and analytics professionals, using AI-native tooling under strict human sign-off, so nothing reaches your board or lenders without a person accountable for it.

Managed, Not Self-Serve

A dedicated VORXI team runs your engines, your close, and your reporting cadence — you're never handed a login and left to configure a platform alone.

Human Sign-Off, Always

AI drafts, flags and accelerates. It does not post journal entries, finalize numbers, or send anything externally without a named person approving it first.

Verified, Auditable Trail

Every figure that reaches a board or lender pack traces back to a source system and a sign-off record — nothing is a black box.

Managed Service, Not Software
Is VORXI a piece of software we buy and self-serve?

No. VORXI is a managed decision-support service. You don't get handed a dashboard license and left to configure data pipelines, build reports, or maintain integrations yourself. A VORXI delivery team — senior FP&A, analytics and finance-process specialists — sets up, runs, and continuously operates the engines on your behalf, on a fixed monthly cadence.

The four intelligence pillars (FP&A Managed Services, BI & Analytics, Capital Project Intelligence, and Finance Process Automation) are delivered as an ongoing service relationship, not a self-service tool. See the Delivery Model for exactly what happens week by week.

Does VORXI replace our internal finance team?

No — VORXI augments your team rather than replacing it. Your controller, CFO, or finance leads stay the decision-makers and remain the named approvers on every close, forecast and board package. VORXI supplies the senior capacity, the verified-data foundation, and the analytics engine so your existing team spends less time assembling numbers and more time acting on them.

Who actually does the work — people or automation?

Both, in a specific order: automation and AI handle the repetitive, high-volume work — reconciliations, variance flags, EAC trending, exception detection — and senior VORXI staff review, interpret and approve the output before it's delivered to you. Every deliverable has a named human owner, not just a system log.

What if we want more control or want to bring parts of this in-house later?

That's a normal evolution for a managed service, and VORXI is built to support it. Because the verified-data foundation, reporting logic and sign-off workflows are documented and auditable from day one, transitioning specific processes in-house — or scaling VORXI up as you grow — doesn't require starting over. Talk to your delivery lead about a transition plan whenever it's relevant.

AI Governance & Human Oversight
Will AI make financial decisions or take actions on its own?

No. AI at VORXI never has autonomous authority over your numbers. It does not post entries, submit filings, approve variances, or send reports to your board or lenders on its own. Every AI-assisted output — a forecast draft, a flagged exception, a suggested elimination — is routed to a senior VORXI reviewer and, for anything customer-facing, to your named approver before it goes anywhere.

This is the same principle behind VORXClose's "verified-data trust mark": no number reaches a board or lender pack without a human-approved, auditable trail back to source.

What specifically does AI do inside VORXI, then?

AI is used for well-scoped, reviewable tasks — not open-ended decision-making:

  • Pattern detection — flagging ERP exceptions (SM13, MRBR, MIGO, FB08), cost overruns, or netback anomalies for a human to investigate.
  • Drafting — producing a first-pass variance narrative or forecast scenario that a senior analyst edits and approves.
  • Reconciliation support — matching intercompany balances and surfacing imbalances, with the elimination journal still requiring sign-off.
  • Synthesis — summarizing cross-engine signals (VORXCap, VORXField, VORXFin) into a single executive view for a reviewer to validate.

In every case, AI narrows the field and speeds up the work; a person makes the call.

What guardrails stop the AI from "running amok" — acting outside its lane or compounding an error?

Several layers, by design, not as an afterthought:

  • No standing write access. AI components operate on read/flag/draft permissions against your financial systems, not on direct posting or transmission rights.
  • Mandatory sign-off gates. Month-end close, board packages, lender reporting and any externally-facing output all have a required human approval step before release — this is built into the VORXFin close-orchestration workflow itself, not a manual add-on.
  • Verified-data foundation first. Every engine traces back to a governed, reconciled data layer (VORXI CORE), so AI is reasoning over verified inputs, not raw or unvalidated feeds.
  • Senior human review by default. A VORXI delivery lead reviews AI-assisted output before a client ever sees it — clients then apply their own sign-off on top of that.
  • Full audit trail. Every number carries a record of what produced it and who approved it, so anomalies are traceable and correctable, not silently propagated.
What happens if the AI gets something wrong?

Because AI-assisted output is never released without human review, the intended outcome is that errors get caught before they reach you — that's the point of the sign-off gate. If something is still flagged as incorrect after delivery, your delivery lead is the accountable point of contact: VORXI corrects the output, traces the root cause through the audit trail, and adjusts the review process so the same class of error is caught earlier next time.

Who is accountable if a number is wrong — VORXI, or an algorithm?

VORXI, and specifically a named senior team member, is accountable — never "the algorithm." That's the entire reason for the sign-off model: accountability has to sit with a person you can talk to, not a system.

Data & Security
What's the difference between vorxi.co, vorxi.io and vorxi.tech?

The three domains map to three different layers of VORXI:

  • vorxi.co — the site you're on now: the VORXI story, the four intelligence pillars, delivery model and how to get in touch.
  • vorxi.io — the live engine platform (vorxi.io/cap, /field, /fin, /close) — where your team signs in to work day to day.
  • vorxi.tech — the verified-data and AI infrastructure layer underneath all of it — the pipelines, governance and sign-off tooling every engine is built on.
What data does VORXI need access to, and how is it protected?

Access is scoped to what each engine needs — typically finance, ERP, production and operational data sources mapped during the Week 1–2 Data Architecture Review on the Delivery Model. Access is granted deliberately and documented, not open-ended, and runs through the same governed vorxi.tech data layer every engine relies on.

Is our data used to train external AI models?

Your financial and operational data is used to run and improve your VORXI engines — not to train general-purpose external models. Specific data-handling and confidentiality terms are set out in your service agreement; ask your delivery lead for the current data-processing terms during onboarding.

Can we audit exactly how a number was produced?

Yes — this is the purpose of the VORXClose decision intelligence layer, running on vorxi.io. Every figure in a board or lender pack carries a trail back to its source system, the process that generated it, and the person who signed off on it.

Getting Started
How long does it take to get up and running?

From signed agreement to a launched reporting cadence is typically 90 days, run in five stages — data architecture review, engine configuration, a parallel run against your existing reporting, go-live, and a first performance review. Full breakdown on the Delivery Model page.

Do we have to adopt all four pillars at once?

No. Most engagements start with one or two engines — commonly VORXField or VORXFin — and expand as trust in the verified-data layer builds. Explore FP&A Managed Services, BI & Analytics, Capital Project Intelligence, and Finance Process Automation individually.
