AI agent for head of operations
Management Reporting Exception Agent
A complete management report on time, with remaining gaps visible.
What it does
Managers spend reporting cycles chasing missing updates from their teams. When a reporting cycle opens, this agent checks each submission for completeness and comparability, such as the right period, units and format. For missing or unclear inputs, it prepares targeted requests in order of importance and cutoff. The department head approves sending them. As corrections arrive, it recomputes the affected summaries and refreshes a factual exception summary. Missing inputs stay visible rather than being filled in. It never changes targets or rates people. Edge case: one team reports revenue in thousands while others report in units, so the agent asks rather than converting.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
