How to do it
- On the Figures tab, go to The essentials and click the purple bar, then "Explain in plain language".
- After a few seconds the text appears, with labels you read at a glance.
- Next time the text is there right away, as long as there are no new accounts.
How the annual accounts in plain language are written
The figures follow the Belgian format of annual accounts, which builds on the European Accounting Directive.
An AI model (Claude, by Anthropic) gets the figures of the last five financial years and a few CBE details, nothing else: no news, no rumours. It describes what the figures say, without advice. The labels come from fixed rules, not from the AI.
New annual accounts give a new text. If the AI is briefly unavailable, you get a summary based on fixed rules.
Can the text be wrong?
The model can phrase something wrongly. The figures themselves are always in the charts and the table, and those prevail.
Language and access
In the language of the page. The full explanation is part of Pro; without Pro you see the first sentence. The same text is in the financial report.
