**Who handles finance questions?**

Sam (AI CFO). Astra brings him in when you ask about your numbers. For questions that mix internal and external data (like "are we cheap vs. competitors?"), Riley joins Sam in the same thread.

**What can I ask Sam?**

- "How are we doing on revenue this month?"
- "What's our churn by segment?"
- "Run a cohort analysis on signups from January"
- "Model what happens if we raise prices 20%"

**How to work with Sam**

Sam shows the math — time window, cohort definition, and deltas vs. last period. He doesn't say "churn is high" — he gives you the exact number and what drove it. Open the Task Card to see the numbers and source references.
