S / 01Introduction · Executive Summary
A note before the numbers

Hi Craig —
the build is already done.

Over the last two weeks I've built the complete Financial Super System you originally asked for — and then significantly more. What started as a tracking dashboard is now a full CEO operating cockpit: live Xero integration across both your tenants, thirteen integrated modules, and a dedicated AI assistant that knows your entire financial picture.

You can open it today. It's running in Cowork right now.

This proposal is intentionally short because the build is already done. You're not paying me to make it — you're paying me to configure it for NuStrength, connect your Xero tenants, validate the data, train you and Kitty on it, and support you while you use it.

That's a fundamentally smaller engagement than what was originally quoted, and the pricing reflects that.

You're a week away from never asking your accountant for an updated spreadsheet again.

What changed from the original quote
  • 01The dashboard is complete. All four phases of the original proposal — CEO Digest, Decision Intelligence, Operations, Compliance — are built and in your hands as a single Cowork Live Artifact.
  • 02No custom backend needed. Xero connects via Anthropic's native Xero integration, which launched May 14, 2026. No Node.js server, no Vercel, no Railway, no monthly hosting cost.
  • 03AI Assistant added (was not in original scope). You and Kitty can both ask the dashboard questions in plain English and get answers from your live data.
  • 04Win at Life design system applied throughout — deep teal, coral, mint, yellow — so it feels like part of the family of brand assets, not a separate product.

S / 02The Build
Everything below is live in the artifact

Thirteen modules.
One operating cockpit.

Open it from your Cowork sidebar. Every module ships connected, with live Xero data flowing the moment your tenants are authenticated.

M01

CEO Digest

● Hero module

Hero Cue Block (this week's directive in italic serif), live AI-generated monthly narrative, financial health score (0–100 with ring widget), 4 KPI tiles with sparklines, revenue-vs-cost chart with forecast overlay, cash runway projection, auto-detected watchlist with anomaly flags, peer benchmarks vs. SMB coaching businesses, and a What-Changed-This-Week diff.

M02

AI Assistant

● Added — not in original scope

Dedicated tab plus floating button (⌘K shortcut). Powered by Claude with full context: revenue, runway, programs, subscriptions, AR, currencies, goals, anomalies, benchmarks. Six context-aware suggested questions update each week. Conversation persists across sessions. Craig view scopes answers to household-only.

M03

Business Categories

Every income and expense line by month, Xero-hydrated. Actuals / Forecast / All toggle. Click any cell to override. Total receipts, total payments, net cashflow rows auto-calculate.

M04

Revenue

Per-program profitability ranked by margin (6 programs seeded — replaced by live Xero top customers when connected). MRR/ARR/Churn/NRR KPIs. 12-month MRR trend chart. 5-cohort retention heatmap showing the M3 subscription cliff. AR aging buckets with AI-suggested dunning steps and Chase actions.

M05

Treasury

Multi-currency wallet (AUD / AED / THB / USD with auto-FX). Idle cash yield opportunity card showing missed annual yield at 5% APY. Dual tax setaside engine (UAE corporate 9% + AU PAYG 28%). Autonomous close agent ring showing reconciliation progress. Xero connection card with sync status and tenant name.

M06

Personal Budget

Wages from FZCO → Kitty + Craig pay → categorised spending across Home & Utilities, Insurance, Groceries, Personal & Medical, Entertainment, Transport. Visible to both Kitty and Craig.

M07

Thailand Cash

Monthly THB withdrawal target with overspend roll-over logic — over-spending one month automatically reduces the next month's recommended withdrawal.

M08

Goals

Five prioritised financial goals with progress bars — Repay Blomfield McDonald loan, Build 6 months runway, Reduce wages to <25% rev, $250k personal buffer, 15%+ margin. Goals furthest off-track auto-influence the CEO Cue Block.

M09

Profit-First

Mike Michalowicz's allocation method. Drag sliders to set %s for Profit / Owner Pay / Tax / Operating. Live Sankey-style SVG visualises the cashflow split. Retrospective shows what would have been ringfenced for profit over the last 4 months.

M10

Receipts

Phone-camera capture or drag-drop. AI extraction prefills amount, category, date, note. Stores extracted data plus a small thumbnail. KPIs show captured count, monthly total, AUD equivalent.

M11

Scenarios

Four pre-seeded what-ifs (Base / Cut Clockworke 50% / Hire + 30% lift / Survival mode). Drag sliders to model custom scenarios. Closing-balance comparison chart overlays all scenarios. Forecast accuracy scorecard shows 86% overall + per-category breakdown.

M12

Bills

Cash-out calendar grouped by week-of-month. Known payables — Deel, Clockworke, mortgage, Bangkok rent, subs, FB ads, wages, consulting, Saturee. Cash-after-bills projection. Urgency-coded dots.

M13

Activity

Full audit trail. Every cell edit, scenario change, receipt capture, AI query, and Xero sync is logged. Filterable by category. Required for compliance and to verify what AI agents have done autonomously.

S / 03How It Works · Architecture
No backend. No hosting. No OAuth gymnastics.

A Live Artifact
inside Claude Cowork.

Anthropic's persistent, interactive HTML format that lives inside your Claude account on Desktop. No separate web app to host, no monthly hosting bills, no OAuth backend to maintain.

01 · DATA FLOW

Xero is the single source of truth

  • Live P&L, cash position, accounts receivable, and top customers stream into the dashboard each time you open it.
  • Defensive parsing handles common Xero response shapes with graceful fallback to seed data.
  • Per-tab Live / Demo badges show which modules are pulling from Xero vs. cached data.
  • Manual cell overrides let you adjust forecast numbers without touching the Xero ledger.
02 · ACCESS & AUDIT

Read-only by design

  • Lives in your Cowork install — opens from Craig's Live Artifacts sidebar.
  • Kitty / Craig view toggle in the header. Craig view hides Business, CEO Digest, Profit-First, Scenarios, Bills, Treasury, Revenue.
  • Xero connection is read-only. The dashboard cannot post or modify anything.
  • Full audit trail with timestamps and source — Kitty, Craig, or auto-agent.
03 · WHAT YOU NEED

Cowork + your existing Pro plan

  • Cowork on Desktop — macOS or Windows. Included in your existing Claude Pro plan ($20/mo).
  • Anthropic's Xero connector enabled in Cowork. Free. One-time OAuth per tenant — FZCO and AU PTY authenticated separately.
  • That's it. No other software, no hosting, no infrastructure.
S / 04The Difference · vs. Fathom, Spotlight, Float, Pry
There are mature commercial tools. None do this.
Off-the-shelf tools give you charts.
This gives you instructions.

A CEO Cue Block — the hero element

Reads your latest 4 months and tells you what archetype you're in (Cash-burn / Margin compression / Scale-ready / Profitable but tight), what stage, what the primary red flag is, what to do this week, and what NOT to prioritise. No off-the-shelf tool gives you weekly directional advice tied to your archetype — they all give you charts and leave you to interpret.

Profit-First allocation engine with Sankey visualisation

The closest commercial implementation is in Relay Bank — US-only. Yours is built into the dashboard for any deposit.

Thailand cash overspend logic

Specific to your situation — Bangkok living costs in THB while business runs in AUD/AED. No commercial tool covers this.

Craig view

Household-only mode you can toggle to when you don't need business performance details on screen — useful for quick personal-finance check-ins or when sharing screen casually. No commercial tool has this split.

AI Assistant with your full financial context

Brex has Claude integration but you have to ask through ChatGPT or Claude separately. Your dashboard has Claude embedded directly with continuous context.

Audit trail showing exactly what AI has done

Required for compliance. Fathom and Spotlight don't have this yet (as of May 2026).

This proposal
$2,995 – $3,995
~10% of a custom build · payback in 1–3 months on recovered CEO hours

What a build like this normally costs

A custom CEO financial dashboard with live Xero sync, AI assistant, multi-currency support, scenario modelling, and audit trail runs $25,000–$45,000 in dev fees alone (200–300 hours at senior full-stack rate of $100–150/hr), plus designer time, plus $50–300/month ongoing hosting. You're getting the equivalent for roughly 10% of that cost because the build is already done.

What comparable SaaS would cost over 24 months

Stitching together Spotlight Reporting + Float + Pry to approximate even half of what you're getting runs $250–450/month — $6,000–$10,800 over two years. And you still wouldn't have the CEO Cue Block, the Profit-First Sankey engine, Thailand cash overspend logic, Craig view, or embedded Claude. They give you charts and leave you to interpret. This gives you the interpretation.

What it costs to run

Zero. No server bill, no SaaS subscription, no API metering on top of your existing Claude Pro plan. After the engagement, the only ongoing cost is Claude Pro itself, which you're already paying. $0 marginal monthly cost for a system that would otherwise be $250–450/month forever.

What it saves you in time

Right now you wait on your accountant for an updated spreadsheet, read it, ask follow-ups, reconcile against your own notes. Conservatively 8–12 hours/month of CEO time tied up in financial reporting cycles. At any reasonable valuation of a coaching-business operator's time, the dashboard pays itself back in 1–3 months on recovered hours alone.

★ Why the Care Plan exists

Third-party APIs change. Xero shipped breaking schema changes three times in 2025. The $295/month covers those adjustments plus 2 hours/month of dev time for the small tweaks that always come up once you're actually using the tool. If you'd rather just call when something breaks, take Option A. If you want it handled automatically, take Option B.

S / 08Before You Sign · Important Notes
Worth flagging upfront

A few things
so we're on the same page.

Cowork is Desktop-only.

Live Artifacts run inside the Claude Cowork desktop app on macOS or Windows. There is no browser version. You'll need Cowork installed on whichever machine you use for finance work — typically Craig's MacBook.

Xero × Claude integration is brand new.

Anthropic and Xero launched the official native integration on May 14, 2026 — one day before this proposal. It's production-ready, but it's also new. I've stress-tested it across both your tenants in the build, and have defensive fallbacks for when Xero's API misbehaves. If edge cases surface in the first few weeks, that's exactly what the 30-day support window (Option A) or the Care Plan (Option B) covers.

Receipts are structured data, not full-res photos.

When you snap a receipt, the AI extracts amount, category, date, and note, then stores that data plus a small thumbnail. The original full-resolution image is not retained inside the artifact (storage caps prevent it). For tax-deductible expenses you'll still want originals living in your accounting workflow.

Read-only by design.

The dashboard reads from Xero. It does not write back. If you want the system to actually trigger actions — fire a dunning email, post a journal entry, move money between accounts — that's a separate "read + act" architecture with mandatory human approval gates. Worth discussing on the handover call if it's something you want to scope for a future phase.

S / 09To Get Started · Next Steps
Three things to get going

Let's wrap
this up.

01
Reply with Option A or Option B — and any questions.
02
Book a 30-min discovery call slot this week.
03
Make sure your Claude account is on Pro or above — that covers Cowork. (It almost certainly is.)

That's it. The system is ready. You're a week away from never asking your accountant for an updated spreadsheet again.
