Use Cases

Use Case: Reports and Documents — Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF, as They Are

Board minutes, monthly reports and spreadsheets go in as they are. Trail reads Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF, keeps the numbers, and answers questions about your business with every figure linked to the file it came from.

01

The problem

The examples on this page are illustrations — the answers come from your own documents, not from ours.

The story of a business is written down — in board minutes, monthly reports, Excel exports, presentations and contracts. But it is spread across dozens of files in different formats, and putting the picture together takes a person a day.

Most tools only handle part of it. They read text but lose the tables, or they read the spreadsheet but know nothing about the decision recorded in the minutes.

02

Your files, as they are

Trail reads Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF directly. You do not convert anything or copy numbers into a template. Tables keep their numbers, slides keep their structure, and every piece of knowledge remembers which file it came from.

03

Ask your business, not just your documents

Because the numbers and the decisions sit in the same brain, you can ask the way an owner asks an analyst: «Why did gross margin drop in Q3?» The answer ties the figures to the decisions behind them, and every number links to the report it came from — so you can check each part before you act on it.

Why did gross margin drop in Q3?

What changes for you

A first answer in seconds

, instead of a day spent assembling the picture.

Every figure is traceable

to the file it came from.

No conversion work

The files your company already produces are the input.

Contradictions surface

When two reports disagree, Trail flags it instead of averaging them.

05

What you can count on

Answers with sources

Every answer shows which documents it is built on.

You decide what goes in

New knowledge waits in a queue until a person approves it.

Disagreements are flagged, not hidden

When two sources say different things, someone at your company decides.

Your data stays in the EU

Trail is hosted in Stockholm, Sweden, and answers are written by an EU language model.

Get started

Start with one reporting period: the monthly reports, the board minutes and the spreadsheets behind them. We will show you what it is like to ask your own numbers a question.

Or see it first — the demo asks a brain the question «What changed between the September and October management reports, and why?» and shows the answer with its sources.
