The spreadsheet gives you the figure; Redijo gives you the figure you can trace

The company brain you can audit. Spreadsheets and dashboards answer what was already modelled; Redijo lets you ask in plain language, traces every figure to its source cell, and checks each fragment's permission at synthesis time.

Spreadsheets, BI & accountantstoday's way of answering 'what is the number?' — a cell, a dashboard, or a person

The spreadsheet, the BI dashboard and the accountant are today’s way of answering “what is the number?” Each solves part of the problem — and each leaves a gap. The spreadsheet gives you the figure, but nobody knows if the formula is still right. The dashboard answers fast, but only what it was modelled for. The accountant brings judgement, but isn’t available at 2 a.m. before the board meeting.

Redijo starts from a different question: “where did that number come from?” The answer exists only if the source exists, and every figure carries back the file, the sheet and the cell behind it.

The spreadsheet nobody audits

Spreadsheet errors are common and hard to trace: a formula that broke, a range copied wrong, a cell overwritten by hand. The number looks right until someone asks where it came from. In Redijo the calculation is deterministic, kept off the AI’s path, and every number already carries its source cell. You review — you don’t trust.

Ask in plain language

A BI dashboard answers the questions it was modelled for. The new question — the one that surfaces in the meeting — waits for an analyst to build the model. In Redijo you ask in plain language and the answer arrives with its source attached, no backlog queue.

Where the status quo has the edge

In fairness: for governed, repeatable, already-modelled reporting, BI tools are strong, and Redijo does not replace them. The accountant, in turn, brings judgement and accountability no tool replicates — Redijo hands them a number that is already traceable, so they review it faster.

Permission at synthesis time

Redijo checks each fragment’s permission at the moment the answer is composed — what is outside your access never enters, not even aggregated inside a total. Your files are hosted with international-transfer safeguards.

Data residency

International-transfer safeguards and a DPA that support data-protection alignment — not local servers. The governance your auditors and your customers' data demand.
