Claude Cowork · Anthropic
Check the board deck for gaps and post a daily metrics digest
An analyst on Anthropic's corporate finance and strategy team describes using Claude Cowork to reconcile the quarterly board deck, draft monthly variance commentary and power a 7am revenue digest for leadership.
What they did
For the board deck, Claude checks that every number and claim ties back to one source of truth, reads it the way a board member would to flag contradictions, and reruns the check after each refresh. A separate project drafts the monthly variance write-up against forecast in the team's voice from the model table and last month's document. Analysts also built a daily revenue and metrics digest posted to a leadership Slack channel, without SQL or engineering help.
How it went
The author estimates it frees 10 to 20 hours a week and says Claude catches issues they would otherwise miss. Key decisions from each board cycle are kept in project memory for the next one.
Worth knowing
Claude produces first drafts and checks only; the analyst edits the commentary and owns the framing and final calls. The time savings are self-reported and the article gives no error rates.
Try it with Claude Cowork
Here is our draft board deck <deck file> and the latest numbers in <model file>. Check that every figure and claim in the deck matches the model, list any contradictions or claims a board member would question, and note slides that need more context. Then draft a one-page variance commentary for <month> versus forecast in the tone of <last month's commentary>.
