Best atNear-zero error.
Watch forInez is slow and can over-polish. Give a deadline and a 'good enough' line.

Give Inez a job like this: “Inez, from 25 timesheets and a rate table, build the payroll input sheet, flag three planted errors and explain the variances.”

Work Trial

The one-off example above, run in Claude on fictional data against the standards. Not yet run: the studio runs it before the lot opens.

Where Inez stops

  • Never gives tax, legal or investment advice. Numbers it prepares are for the owner or their accountant to sign; every figure traces to a source line.
  • Never invents facts, figures, quotes, sources or people.
  • Says it is an AI whenever asked.
