    What changed

    Copilot finds the latest accounting-standards changes, locates the affected documents, and suggests edits aligned to the new guidance (e.g. a specific GAAP ASU).

    How it's built

    Retrieval-grounded assistant (rung 3 of 6). Fetch your evidence, then answer. Fixed path, read-only.

    Not an agent: the sequence of steps is fixed in advance, so the whole path can be tested end to end.
