audit trail to source documents

A fast-growing AI cybersecurity company had a fragmented view of revenue across CRM, billing, and finance systems. Contracts, products, segments, geographies, and opportunities all lived in different sources with no reconciliation between them.

At a Glance

  • Unified customers, contracts, products, segments, geographies, and opportunities.
  • Reconciled ARR, NRR, GRR, and ACV to contract-level truth.
  • Analyzed margin and growth by product line and segment.
  • Linked opportunities through closed contracts to recognized revenue.
  • Made every metric drillable to the record it came from.

Challenge

Leadership couldn't confidently answer basic questions about which products were growing, which segments had retention issues, and where geographic concentration risk lived because the underlying data was unreconciled and not auditable. Each board cycle required re-deriving the same numbers from scratch.

Solution

Cord delivered a re-imagined operating data layer:

Customer ontology
A single linked model of customers, contracts, products, segments, geographies, and opportunities, with every record traceable to the underlying source document.
Reconciled revenue
ARR, NRR, GRR, and ACV roll-ups tied to contract-level truth, not CRM estimates or spreadsheet snapshots.
Product and segment economics
Margin and growth analyzed by product line and segment, with attribution to specific contract events.
Pipeline-to-revenue linkage
Opportunities linked end-to-end through closed contracts to recognized revenue, closing the loop between GTM and finance.
Full audit trail
Any metric in any report drills back to the contract, line item, or transaction it came from.
