Unpack Close Email Thread

Rebuilds chaotic month-end reply-all threads into four blocks: decisions made, open issues, named owners when assigned in text, and stated deadlines. Surfaces contradictions. For controllers who need a standup-ready story without rereading dozens of messages.

Month-end close is when your inbox becomes an archaeological dig without a map. Reply-all chains swallow decisions, reverse them later, and leave everyone guessing which deadline is real. Checklist tools help only when people use them; most truth still lives in forwarded threads nobody wants to reopen. This agent reads one full close thread and returns a sober narrative of what was decided, what is open, who owns what only when assigned in email, and which dates were stated. It flags contradictions instead of hiding them. The output is what you paste into standup when the CFO asks what happened Tuesday. It does not replace your subledger; it buys back the hour you would spend rereading the same fight.

Controllers and accounting managers triaging close traffic in email when formal workflow tools lag.
