The P&L shows the change. What caused it?
Gross margin fell or expenses rose. Before interpreting the result, check the dates, accounting basis, accounts, and supporting transactions.
The number needs an explanation
A percentage or total does not identify which accounts moved, whether the period is comparable, or which records deserve attention.
Follow-up questions take time
A new question may mean changing filters and exporting again. In Claude, you can ask a follow-up in the same conversation.
The source needs to stay visible
Profit analysis is only useful if the reviewer can trace a material figure back to the permitted accounting records and check it before using it.
