Ask Operator

Start it in a sentence

Ask Operator in chat. It drafts the plan for your fund, and nothing runs until you release it.

  • You

    We called the wrong amount from one LP on the last call, fix it.

  • You

    Cancel call 14 and reissue it at the right amount.

  • You

    This LP’s commitment was cut before the call, correct their notice.

The outcome

The wrong call is cancelled and its booking reversed, a corrected call is sent, what the LP paid is applied to it, and the LP knows why.

What it proves

  • Finds the commitment change behind the error and proposes the exact correction.
  • Cancels, reverses and reissues nothing until you or your accountant approve the exact change.
  • Carries the corrected amount and the payment already made from step to step, with no retyping.
  • Leaves the note to the LP in your mailbox, for you to send.
  • Leaves the decision on any excess with you.
