What if the AI win you keep bragging about isn't actually finished?

Eighty percent took minutes. The rest took weeks.

I'm sharing how I built an AI-assisted reconciliation that looked finished in eleven minutes, then broke the moment I tried to run it again, and what it actually took to make that automation hold up under a CFO's scrutiny.

If you're an FP&A team already bragging about your AI win, this is the test to run before you promise anyone a repeat performance.
