The one capability that lands you
Sign Formula Block
Attest a contiguous range sharing the same R1C1 formula — the analyst signs once for the whole block. Each block carries a signature hash over scope + master R1C1 + variants; R1C1 divergence on any cell in the block surfaces as drift on next verify.

Demo comingWhat changes for you
Three concrete shifts.
- 01
Sign the entire output block once instead of cell-by-cell sign-off.
- 02
TrustLens and CalcScope give inherited models a structured formula readout before the team edits or signs them.
- 03
CalcScope, Classic Pretty Print, and Sensitivity tornados ship the deliverable, not just the work.
Supporting capabilities
Other features this persona uses regularly.
Same product, same install. The 8 features below are the ones Investment Banking & PE buyers tell us they reach for after the lead capability.
Export Proof Certificate
Snapshot the workbook's current Proof state into a portable certificate (JSON, PDF, or branded export) anchored to the ledger head hash. Any tool that can compute SHA-256 can recompute the certificate hash and confirm tamper-evidence — Node's built-in crypto, OpenSSL, Python hashlib. (Distinct from Replay Proof, which signs an output-delta replay rather than a workbook snapshot.)
TrustLensCtrl+Shift+I
Attestation-aware formula workbench reachable from Worksheet Map, Cell Search, Compare drill-in, Formula Explorer, the ribbon, and Ctrl+Shift+I. It combines formula explanation with proof state: Bound / Signed / Unattested / Drifted summary chips, per-node badges for stale or tampered evidence, Result values on nodes, active PATH / OFF branch flags, counterfactual Path reasoning, Proof timeline, Refs timeline, and Live Dependents with cross-sheet counts and navigation.
CalcScope
Floating formula explainer for the selected cell. It builds a step-by-step tree with live values, branch highlighting, a verified calculation explanation bar, navigable rows, find/edit controls, copy output, and no-write what-if sliders when the formula has eligible leaf inputs. TrustLens audits trust and diagnostics; CalcScope explains the math.
Classic Pretty PrintCtrl+Shift+Y
The classic multi-line indented formula view with syntax highlighting and clickable refs. It remains the Ctrl+Shift+Y shortcut path and never routes through CalcScope.
Sensitivity AnalysisCtrl+Shift+S
Multi-output sensitivity in one form. Auto-detects the model's outputs (≥0.9 confidence joins via the same TopologyDiscoveryService MCI uses) — switch between IRR / NPV / DSCR / LLCR / PLCR / MOIC / Payback / Equity Return without rebuilding. Up to 100 drivers per output, each perturbed at six levels (±1% / ±5% / ±10%) — not just ±1% — to show non-linearity. A Quick-Scan pre-pass with a 0.5%-impact diminishing-returns cutoff trims dead drivers before the full run. UI: Top-N filter (10/20/50/All), hide-zero, hide-outliers, click-bar to navigate to the input cell, "Copy Data" export, ETA-aware progress on a background task so Excel stays responsive.
Compare Workbooks
Formula-aware diff of two Excel files. Headline metrics split the delta into five buckets (Total / Formula / Value / Formatting / Structural). A Workbook TreeView navigator inside the results window with per-sheet change counts colour-coded by density. Aligned-sheet detection flags sheets whose structure matches between versions so positional changes don't register as structural. Change grouping collapses near-identical edits — 2,730 cells all moving from `=-Cons!X39` to `=-Cons!X40` become one reviewable item. Per-change tagging uses five impact levels (None / Low / Medium / High / Critical), a Significant flag for material financial moves, and Data Validation as a separate change category. Smaller sheets process first so the first results land fast on huge models. Highlight all changes inside Excel itself with one click.
Smart Format SelectionCtrl+Shift+J
Precision, on demand. Select a range and Smart Formatting first separates inputs from formulas. Then it applies the right notation inside each category: Number, Date, Percent, Factor, Ratio, or Flag. COD becomes a date. DSCR becomes a ratio. WACC and fees become percentages. Exchange-rate labels become factors.
Direct style shortcutsAlt+Shift+N/P/D/F/R
Skip the classifier when you already know the answer. Alt+Shift + N / P / D / F / R apply Number, Percent, Date, Factor, or Ratio directly to the selection. Inputs auto-route to the input variant so the look stays consistent.
