Today And With tp.alp
Where the hours go now, and where they would go. The point is the team's time and the file's defensibility, not another tool.
| Task | Today | With tp.alp |
|---|---|---|
| Who owes a Local File | Totals rebuilt by hand from the ledger, the threshold from memory, the loan by its interest by mistake. | Totals per category from the transactions, the published threshold cited, a loan by its maximum principal, exclusions (tonnage tax, interest-free payables) applied by rule. |
| Benchmarking | A spreadsheet rebuilt each year; accept/reject reasons in a column nobody reads; one quartile formula, unstated. | Each company accepted or rejected with a reason and the sentence relied on; the range by three definitions; the tested party drawn against it; a change reopens the sign-offs. |
| Agreements | Read once, at signing. The 60-day payment term against the policy's 30 is found by the Tax Department. | Each clause set against the policy and the file, mismatches flagged; agreements drafted from the policy, every clause sourced. |
| Financing | Safe harbour rates looked up, a bond yield copied from a website, the threshold checked against the interest. | The circular applied: availability by principal, the borrower's yield fetched from the ECB, the shortfall in points and in euro. |
| Review | Emails saying "looks fine", a PDF initialled, nothing tying the approval to what was approved. | Reviewed, verified, confirmed, each with what was looked at, tied to the exact content; reopened by any change. |
| Next year | Last year's Word file copied and edited, hoping nothing moved. | Roll-forward: what continued, what is new, what ended, which threshold was crossed, which sections need figures and which a rewrite. |
How many hours each saves is not claimed here: it is what a pilot would measure.
