Insights is the product.
The modules stand on it.

Kamino is bought in one order, and it is not an accident. Connect your data, get the operating picture, then turn on the modules the data now supports. Insights, the fabric plus ask, report and dashboards, is what ships and what you buy first. Projects and Planning are paid modules on top of it, and they are being built.

Fabric at the base. Insights over it. Modules off the trunk.

Every domain terminates at one interchange, the data fabric. Insights is what leaves it, and it is the product. Projects and Planning stand on that trunk rather than beside it, and both are still being built, because a module is only as good as the domains feeding it.

A forecasting tool sold on its own asks you to type your assumptions into an empty box. Kamino’s forecast starts from records that already exist. That is the difference between a module on a fabric and a tool on its own.

What each product is made of

Insights is the base subscription and the modules stand on it: three products and 14 components. Three of them are shipped and eleven are being built, drawn solid and dashed in that order, and neither module carries a date.

Insights, the primary product

Shipped. Four surfaces, one set of records.

Kamino sits over the books you already keep and answers operating questions from them. Nothing here asks you to re-enter data, maintain a model, or accept a figure on faith.

Insights is also the part the whole team uses, not just finance: every role reads it through its own drill-down ceiling, set per data domain, so a producer can open project economics without ever reaching an individual cost rate. The modules sit on top of that same fabric and inherit the same ceilings. See the five roles.

The Insights module. A left rail groups the surfaces: Ask Kamino; Dashboards, Reports; Standard Reports, KPIs, Templates; Saved, Shared, Scheduler; and Data Health. The Dashboards screen is open, headed “You go to a dashboard. Live, monitored, at-a-glance, with no narrative. If it needs to come to someone, build a report instead.” A panel titled “Settings limiting this screen” lists three: most reports and KPIs stay locked until their source is connected, with two of six data sources not delivering; periods default to the calendar year, so every period comparison may be wrong; and dashboards fall back to a generic order because company priorities are not ranked. Below it, three dashboards, Monday Morning, Cash & Collections, and Client Health, each showing its tile count, owner, scope and who it is shared with.

Every surface described below is in that left rail. The four are one product, not four purchases.

Data fabric

Eight connected domains, one reconciled set of records.

In the rail above

Settings · Unified Data Fabric, and Data Health

The base of everything. The accounting platform is one line among eight, starting with QuickBooks Online and with more accounting platforms opening. Around it run the systems that actually hold the truth about delivery. The fabric keeps them reconciled so that two questions asked two ways cannot give you two answers.

Ask

The assistant. A question in words, an answer with its working shown.

In the rail above

Ask Kamino

Type the question you would put to a finance person. You get the figure, the arithmetic that produced it, the scope it was measured over and the records it used. If something is unassigned or provisional, the answer says so as an exception rather than quietly rounding past it. The query runs inside the fabric rather than in a chat window.

Report

A 41-report catalogue, run against your own books.

In the rail above

Reports, and Standard Reports in the library

Profit and loss by project. Client contribution. Department utilisation. Ageing that ties to the invoice. You are not designing report layouts at 11pm; you are choosing which of the 41 you want and which scope to run it at.

Dashboards

108 KPIs in the catalogue, scoped the way you run.

In the rail above

Dashboards, and KPIs in the library

Not a wall of gauges. A working picture: which jobs are carrying the quarter, which client is quietly expensive, where hours went. Click any tile and the records behind it open.

Ask it in words. Your records are never handed to the model to search.

Shipped

Every tool in this category can now put a chat box over your books, and most of them do it by handing your books to somebody else’s model to search. Kamino does not. The model receives your question and the shape of your data: table and field names, the scope, the period. It writes the query; Kamino runs it against your records itself.

The assistant inside your accounting platform answers from the ledger. Put one in each platform and each is right about its own system, which is a different thing from being right. Why not just use an agent

That is a fact about the architecture rather than a promise about retention, and it is why the assistant can sit over stitched payroll, cost rates and margins at all. The per-role drill-down ceiling applies to it exactly as it applies to a grid or an export. How the ceilings work

You ask

In words

The question you would put to a finance person, typed as you would say it. No query language to learn, no report to configure first.

The model reads the shape

Schema, not rows

It is given the question, your table and field names, the scope and the period. It is not given a row of your ledger, and it does not search your data to find the answer.

Kamino runs the query

kscript

The model writes the query in kscript, Kamino's own query language. Kamino runs it against your records itself, inside the fabric, under the same per-role ceilings as every other surface.

You get the working

Figure, arithmetic, records

The answer arrives with the arithmetic that produced it, the scope it was measured over and the records it used. If something is unassigned or provisional, it says so rather than rounding past it.

The read-out is written

A summary, not the rows

The paragraph under the answer is written by the model from a summary of the result: the totals, and the largest and smallest entries by name and amount. The rows themselves stay in the fabric.

Paid modules, gated on data

Being built

Projects and Planning are add-ons on top of the base subscription, not alternative products. Neither is available yet. Both are gated on data coverage, and that is the whole point: you cannot forecast cash without receivables and payables, and you cannot say whether a project made money without time, payroll and resourcing. The modules do not merely use the fabric. They are impossible without it.

Module pricing is an add-on on top of a plan. It is quoted rather than published, because the figures are not yet settled against what checkout will charge. Ask, and you will get the number and the reasoning. Neither module is available yet, and neither carries a date. See the pricing page.

Projects

Being built

Cost and vendor questions get answered against the job rather than the account code. A producer can ask what a vendor has actually cost across three projects and open the bills behind the number. It is being built with the rest of the module.

Needs these domains first

Time tracking · Payroll · Resourcing

Whether a project made money is not a ledger question. It needs the hours that went into it, what those hours actually cost once payroll burden is included, and who was committed elsewhere. Until those domains are connected, a project module can only show you what you invoiced.

In scope

  • Budgets
  • Quotes
  • Contracts
  • Delivery
  • Invoicing
  • Resourcing
The Projects module, on a Portfolio screen covering pitches in progress and committed work. Five figures run across the top: gross pipeline, probability-weighted pipeline, committed value, blended margin on committed work, and committed spend to date. Beneath them a “Needs attention” list holds thirteen open conditions, each with the action it wants and the area it came from: a booth over its ceiling, a staff ratio outside its target band, an expired certificate of insurance, an overdue invoice, an expiring master agreement, and capacity booked past a hundred per cent. A note reads that this is state, not an event feed: a row disappears when the condition behind it is resolved, and returns if it comes back.

Planning

Being built

It reads the connected sources for the contradictions a forecast would otherwise inherit: an unassigned cost, a period that does not tie, a source that has stopped delivering. It names them instead of modelling straight through them, and it ships when the module does.

Needs these domains first

Accounts Receivable · Accounts Payable · CRM

A forecast is only as good as the commitments behind it. Cash needs what is owed to you and what you have already committed to pay. Revenue needs a pipeline with real deal records against it. Without those, a plan is just your assumptions retyped.

In scope

  • Company plan
  • Forecast
  • Scenarios
  • Statements
  • Cash
The Planning module, on a thirteen-week cash flow. A stacked bar per week carries receipts and disbursements with a closing-cash line across them and a covenant minimum marked. Each week is split by how firm it is: confirmed, committed, expected, modelled and manual are counted separately along the bottom. A finding beneath the chart reads that cash is held at the covenant minimum from week thirteen because the revolver sweeps to the floor each week, and states plainly that this is the finding, not a data error. A side panel lists every source with how fresh it is: several synced within the hour, one payment-behaviour model fitted in Kamino, one pipeline flagged stale at thirty-six hours, and one payables source marked not connected.

No delivery dates are published against either module. Building means building. Each screen above is a design preview, not a shipped product. It shows what is being built, which is a different claim.

The lines that feed it

QuickBooks Online is where we started, not the spine. Eight domains connect, each by a direct API or the spreadsheet connector: where a vendor ships no usable API, HR being the clearest case, the spreadsheet route lights the domain up anyway. The two lines still to open, AR & Collections and Bank, are drawn dashed because they are not available at launch. We draw a line dashed rather than describe it as if it were running.
