Section 1
The premise
Most model errors are predictable: missing links, sign flips, broken balance check. AI can run a checklist faster than you can.
What AI does well here
- Walk a checklist of standard linkage errors.
- Suggest where to add a balance-check formula.
- Spot inconsistent sign conventions in described flows.
What AI cannot do
- Read your spreadsheet directly without you describing it.
- Verify the formulas without you pasting them.
- Replace a senior analyst's review.
