Ask about a forecast assumption, revenue variance or dashboard card in the same place it appears, so every reply keeps its financial context.
When someone challenges a number, the question needs its context. Keep the discussion with the metric and the period.
Questions, answers and decisions anchored to the exact number they are about.
HOW IT WORKS
A question is easier to answer when the metric, period and scenario are already part of the conversation.
01 / Start in contextComment on the number
Not in a chat channel
A question about Q4 hosting costs stays attached to that variable and period instead of disappearing into a general chat channel.
- Threads on a cell, variable or board card
- Metric, period and scenario attached
- Mention the person who owns the number
02 / Build the explanationDecisions stay
With the assumption
When the assumption changes, the thread preserves why it moved and what the team agreed to do.
- Reasoning kept beside the assumption
- Decisions recorded in the thread
- Context ready for the next review
03 / Move togetherFrom comment to task
In one step
Resolve a question in context or hand off the follow-up without copying model links into another tool.
- Resolve a thread once it is answered
- Assign the follow-up to an owner
- Hand off without copying links
What can we discuss with Comments?+
Comments support discussion around the assumptions, numbers, and work your team shares in Oculon.
How does this help cross-team collaboration?+
The team can discuss the work with its financial context close by, instead of reconstructing the same question across separate files and messages.
Are Comments the same as an audit record?+
No. Comments capture discussion and reasoning. Audit Trail records changes and activity for a different purpose.
