QBR Preparation AI Agent

Source each figure where it was produced, put its as-at date on the slide with it, mark whatever moved since last quarter, and hold the pack for the account manager who presents it.

What this agent does

Assembles the pack, never presents it

In
01

A pack is assembled, and each figure on it arrives with the system it came from and the day it was true.

02

A number is placed on a slide, and the source behind it is recorded there rather than remembered.

Reason
03

A figure has moved since it was last shown, and both readings appear with the reason the earlier one changed.

04

A chart is carried over from a previous pack, and it stays unpopulated until its source is read again.

05

A comparison period is chosen, and the rule that chose it is stated rather than left to the assembly.

Decide
06

A slide rests on a system the customer cannot open, and that limit is marked on the slide itself.

07

An export ages past its term, and each slide leaning on it is flagged for re-sourcing before assembly.

Out
08

A deck is quoted back a quarter later, and the pack still holds the source and the date behind each figure.

09

Execute write actions only inside the approval boundaries agreed during implementation.

Product statement

Assembly, sourcing and restatement marking belong to the agent. What the customer is told belongs to a named account manager, who chooses the narrative and sends the pack.

Example workflow

One QBR pack, sources to sign-off

AgentHuman
1Source material receivedProduct telemetry, support records, billing systems, CRM and the last pack shown
2Figures sourced and datedEach figure, the system of record it came from, the day it was true and the pack it last appeared in
3Slides assembledThe slides, the figures on them, what moved since last time and confidence
4Controls appliedSource checks, as-at date checks, restatement checks and sourcing confidence
No human action required

Stages 1 to 4 run unaided, and nothing reaches a customer at any of them — the agent is assembling, and the account manager lane opens at the sourcing gate.

5DecisionSplits at the sourcing gate
Every figure sourced

Goes to the named account manager.

Anything unsourced

Adds a reporting review first.

Manager review

The pack is held with its sources, the dates behind them and what moved since the last review.

Approve · Append source · Send to reporting review
Approved — by the account manager
6Reporting and CRM records updatedOnly where write access and records policy allow it
7Outcome evaluatedSource coverage, restatement rate, manager corrections and what review found
Corrections

Each manager correction is counted in the evaluation.

Example output

One QBR slide, annotated

This serves an account team who will have the numbers in this pack quoted back at them a quarter later; below is one slide exactly as the agent leaves it.

Value

Where AI adds value

The same four claims, placed at the point in the workflow where each one applies.

Where the value landsValue 01 – 04
Every QBR packFrom the sources of record
03Evidence

Where the pack is used

The operational-reporting agent in Operations reports a number to the company that owns it; this pack is shown to the customer, who checks it against figures of their own.

01Approved path

The deck is not the account

A pack is a selection — which metrics appear, which period is shown, which comparison is drawn — and each of those choices is set by you, not baked in.

02Human review

What was checked, and not found

No figure here is presented as one the customer has agreed: their own reporting may compute the same measure on a different basis, and where the two do not meet, the gap is reported rather than a single number neither side supports.

04Build an evidence trail

The slide, the number on it and the source that produced it stay together.

Integrations

Typical integrations

Five system groups connect to the same agent. Which of them are in scope is decided in discovery.

How Nestack evaluates it

Evaluate the whole assembly — not only the pack that comes out.

Coverage runs the whole depth of the workflow, and every layer is cut by slice.

Surface — the pack a customer sits through
Depth of coverage ▼
E1Final-output evaluationDid each figure carry the source it was actually drawn from?
E2Step-level evaluationDid the agent read the right system, the right period and the live sourcing rules?
E3Tool evaluationDid it read and write the correct account and the correct period?
E4Confidence calibrationDo low-confidence slides actually attract more manager corrections?

Affected slices

Multi-product accounts absorb the corrections

An account-level source-traceability figure can read clean while multi-product accounts carry most of the unsourced slides. Nestack reports the correction rate by account, not only in total.

Evidence-linked improvement

What an unsourced slide costs

The loop shuts when the unsourced slide is a regression case. That suite is what the next deck assembled is measured against.

Improvement cycle · five stagesSwitchback — the path turns at Improve and returns at Learn
01Detect

Correction rate rises on multi-product accounts.

02Diagnose

The number on slide nine that three people in the room could each source differently is taken apart until one source is left standing.

03Improve

Every change goes out numbered, with the decks that caused it attached.

04Verify

Nothing releases while one touched deck case is still red.

05Learn

The case stays on, and the sourcing rules are rewritten alongside it.

Learn → DetectThe return edge. The next pack is measured against a suite one case longer.

Typical build scope

Twelve workstreams across six weeks

The build scope read against the delivery timeline. Week structure follows the six-week plan — discovery, sources, pack assembly, evaluation, integration, then production validation and handover.

Next step · Customer Success AI agent

Build a QBR preparation agent around the number your last pack could not source.

Show us one account you review each quarter and its last pack. Not the figure that felt right on the day. The figure with the system it came from and the date it was true on, because somebody will hold you to it a quarter later. An unsourced slide comes back as a finding.
