The report

  1. Foreword: The Inversion. Fifty to sixty days. Every claim made about AI accounting has to survive contact with that number.
  2. Chapter 1: Chapter 1 — The category is mid-rebuild. The old answers are still standing. The new ones have not finished arriving. What a category in mid-rebuild looks like.
  3. Chapter 2: Chapter 2 — Why the noise exists. The noise is loud because the forces underneath are real - and none of them are what the vendor decks say they are.
  4. Chapter 3: Chapter 3 — Systems of record. The ledger is no longer the place where accounting happens. It has started to sink into the infrastructure.
  5. Chapter 4: Chapter 4 — Systems of orchestration. A new control layer is forming above the ledger. The cohort that captures it reshapes the economics of the firm.
  6. Chapter 5: Chapter 5 — Systems of outcome. From record to outcome. The unit of sale - and the unit of work - are both already wrong.
  7. Chapter 6: Chapter 6 — The Call to Arms. Accountants, CFOs, software vendors, investors. Who has to move, what to do next, and why waiting is a decision too.
  8. Chapter 7: Chapter 7 — The Clock. How much time is left before the shape of this market is decided. Possibly less. Probably more. Not forever.
