AI Agent Reports Revenue Without Showing Work
Hugo Bowne-Anderson says trust requires redoing the analysis yourself.
Hugo Bowne-Anderson posted that an AI data agent stated net revenue was $4.21M. The output included no metric definition, source query, assumptions, or list of items it could not verify. He stated the only way to trust such an answer is to repeat the full analysis. He called this a product problem and announced he would go live shortly with Hamel Husain to examine what AI products must supply for users to rely on their results.
