Usage Scenarios

User input: "Explain our Q3 financials to me like I'm a non-finance founder." → Expected output: Plain-English summary — "Sales grew 15% but profit dropped because your cost to acquire customers doubled. Your cash runway is 14 months at current burn. The biggest risk is that 40% of revenue comes from 2 clients."
User input: "What questions should I ask my CFO about these financial statements before the board meeting?" → Expected output: 15 board-ready questions organized by theme — growth quality (customer concentration, churn-adjusted revenue), profitability (gross margin trend, unit economics), cash (working capital efficiency, CapEx ROI), risks (covenant compliance, FX exposure).
User input: "Compare our financial health to our top competitor using their public filings." → Expected output: Comparative financial analysis — side-by-side on revenue growth, gross margin, operating margin, cash conversion, leverage, ROIC — with strengths/weaknesses commentary and strategic implications.

Scenario 2: 买股票前怎么看公司财报

User input: "我在雪球上看到有人分析财报，我想学但一看利润表就头疼。怎么快速看懂一家上市公司有没有问题？" Expected output: 散户财报速读四步法——第一步：打开同花顺/东方财富App，找到这家公司的"财务"页面，只看3个关键数字（营收增长率≥10%、毛利率≥30%、ROE≥15%）；第二步：检查现金流（经营现金流净额是否为正值、是否大于净利润，连续为负要警惕）；第三步：看负债（资产负债率≥70%要小心，短期借款是否超过现金储备）；第四步：看刺客（商誉占总资产比例≥30%小心暴雷、应收账款增长率远超营收增长率说明客户回款困难）。每次买股票前用这4步筛一遍，通过再考虑深入研究。
