How EDDA and ORA work
Two layers of intelligence, built for the Office of the CFO
EDDA: the engine beneath the suite

Frequently Asked Questions
No. EDDA and ORA operate human-in-the-loop: the AI proposes and your team validates. Nothing is posted, submitted or finalised without a person’s approval.

EDDA is the intelligence platform, the engine that automates, detects anomalies and encodes the suite’s know-how. ORA is the conversational AI, the named voice that puts EDDA’s intelligence into natural language you can ask questions of.
Yes, but the improvement is yours alone. EDDA learns exclusively from your team’s validations and decisions, your close patterns, your rules, your judgment. We don’t use your data to train external models or benefit other customers. Instead, the actions you take sharpens EDDA’s logic for your organisation. ORA similarly learns your finance team’s terminology and workflow, becoming a more effective conversational partner with each interaction. Your approval patterns remain your competitive advantage, making your close process faster and more efficient over time, for you, not others.
