Variance analysis that needs root cause and financial impact.
[ Pluvo vs general AI ]
Pluvo vs. Claude and ChatGPT
General AI is excellent at language — explaining a formula, drafting commentary, summarizing a model. Pluvo is built for the moment finance needs the answer itself to be computed, traced, and trusted, not described.
Alternative
Claude & ChatGPT
Pluvo
Finance compute
Deterministic computation for finance figures, not probabilistic number generation.
Answers grounded in connected source systems, not in pasted context or prompt instructions.
A persistent finance ontology the model reasons through, not context re-explained every session.
[ The wedge ]
General AI predicts the most likely text. Finance needs the correct figure. The difference is whether a number is generated or computed.
Board reporting where the number has to survive review.
Recurring finance workflows that should run the same way every time.
[ Evaluation table ]
The questions to ask before trusting a general model with the number.
| Question | Claude & ChatGPT | Pluvo |
|---|---|---|
| Where do numbers come from? | A model's interpretation of pasted context or prompt instructions. | Connected source systems, defined metrics, and reproducible calculation paths. |
| Can the result be audited? | Only if the analyst preserves the prompt, the sources, and the reasoning by hand. | Each important answer can carry source context, logic, and a reconstruction path. |
| What happens when the business changes? | The context has to be re-entered and re-explained for each new question. | Metric definitions and entity relationships live in a shared model that agents use consistently. |
| Who is it built for? | Anyone using a general assistant to move faster. | Finance, accounting, and strategy teams that need governed answers across systems. |
[ FAQ ]
Common evaluation questions.
Can we still use Claude, ChatGPT, or Copilot?
Yes, for what they are good at: language, drafting, and exploration. Pluvo handles the part those tools are not built for — computing and tracing the figure itself.
How does Pluvo avoid hallucinated numbers?
Pluvo does not ask a language model to produce the number. It routes every calculation through a deterministic compute layer over your connected data, so figures are reproducible and traceable to source.
