Evidence
A number is a fact only when it is in the file. Source named. Nothing invented to fill a cell.
FIA Labs
The desk for the file in front of you.
A financial-intelligence desk that turns a question and a file into a board-ready record. Facts separated from assumptions. Cash separated from EBITDA. Jurisdiction named. Human judgment remains the authority.

Guest tease: 80 credits. Sign in to keep the file.
Inference
Reasoning from the file is marked as reasoning. Cash is not EBITDA. Form is not substance.
Gap
Missing inputs stay missing. The desk returns a framework and a required-data list, not a fabricated model.
The work
One engine. Three intents. A written record.
Ask
A bounded question. Conservative stays inside the file. Research may name frameworks as inference.
Review
The file plus exhibits. Classifications, capital implications, jurisdiction, risk and confidence.
Deep Review
The same engine, a longer pass. Executive summary through next steps — a record that can sit in a pack.

Demonstration · fictional file
Northwind Holdco — PE / LBO · Delaware
Can the holdco support a 6.5× debt / LTM EBITDA take-out without a twelve-month liquidity event?
- Evidence
- LTM EBITDA of $48m is in the CIM pack. Cash of $11m is on the latest trial balance. Both sit in the file. Neither is a forecast.
- Inference
- Covenant headroom looks thin if working capital is seasonal. That is a reading, not a fact in the pack.
- Gap
- No borrowing-base certificate. No quality of earnings. No revolver draw schedule. The desk will not invent them.
- Record
- Risk: High. Confidence: Requires local validation. Next step is the missing data, not a prettier model.
Seats
The seat pays for the desk. Credits pay for the work.
A quiet month should still cover the house. A heavy month buys packs. Included credits reset with the billing month. Packs do not expire.
Operator
$29/mo
One practitioner. One desk. Enough for a quiet month of Asks and a handful of Reviews — not a full mandate of Deep Reviews.
1,500 credits included
Counsel
$79/mo
A working group sharing files across a mandate. Included credits cover a light month of Reviews; heavy Deep Review months buy packs.
4,000 credits included
Chambers
$249/mo
Firm chambers. Multiple operators under one house. Included credits are a working month, not an unlimited tank.
12,000 credits included
Q&A
Before you open the desk.
- What is CFO Sentinel Pro?
- A financial-intelligence desk that turns a question and a file into a board-ready record. Facts separated from assumptions. Cash separated from EBITDA. Jurisdiction named. Human judgment remains the authority.
- What is Federation?
FIA Labs ships separate professional desks — LIA, MIA, CFO Sentinel, Aquinian Studio, Brandium, ExecMind, Cine-Novelist. Each desk is its own practice. Matters, conversations, files, and drafts stay on the desk that created them. There is no shared workspace and no silent sync.
Federation is the layer that lets one practitioner use those desks as a house, not as seven disconnected logins that cannot speak.
Federation is a room of desks in the domains a matter needs — law, medicine, finance, strategy, brand, theology and ethics, and narrative — without merging their files. You walk to the desk that owns the question. You send an FIA Brief when you want that desk’s view on a packet you authorise. You do not dump the whole matter on the table.
What it is for
Work often needs more than one discipline before you green-light it. A Brandium campaign may need LIA on claims and CFO on cost. An ExecMind decision may need LIA on exposure. Federation is how you send a defined packet to another desk and get a defined reply back, without pouring the whole matter file across the house.
What is shared
- FIA Plan — the seat that turns Federation on for this account.
- FIA credit packs — one fuel tank that can be spent on any shipped desk.
- FIA Briefs — only what you explicitly authorise to send.
What is never shared
Conversations, uploads, exhibits, transcripts, and the matter file. Opening another desk is navigation, not a data merge.
FIA Brief
An FIA Brief is not a client brief, a Crown brief, or a counsel brief. It is a short authorised export you compose: the question, the conclusion you are willing to show, the caution. The receiving desk comments on that packet. The sending desk can read the reply. Governance is the record of FIA Briefs sent and returned — not a copy of either desk’s chat.
How you can tell it is on
- FEDERATION INACTIVE (grey, under the desk mark): this account has no FIA Plan seat. You can still use this desk. Send FIA Brief and FIA Brief inbox stay locked. Operator, Counsel, and Chambers do not include Federation.
- FEDERATION ACTIVATED (green, under the desk mark): this account has an active FIA Plan. You may send an FIA Brief to another shipped desk and receive FIA Briefs those desks send back.
Credits and Plan
The desk seat pays for this practice (on this desk: Operator / Counsel / Chambers). FIA Plan pays for the house layer. Packs are extra fuel and do not expire. Packs do not turn Federation on.
Honest about the product
Decision support. Not a licence.
The desk is not a licensed auditor, tax agent, solicitor, or regulated adviser. Statute-level conclusions are marked Requires Local Validation. We would rather say what is true than borrow a badge we do not have.
Sibling of LIA Pro and MIA Pro. Same product grammar. This domain is finance.
Put a real file on the desk.
Open a matter, attach the pack, ask a bounded question. The record is what leaves the room.
