Case Study
$1B+ public company deploys agents on Dough.
Three agents a public-company finance team deployed — and what using Dough enabled for each one.
Agent 01
SG&A Forecast Agent
Drives the 3+9 SG&A re-forecast — builds an initial forecast from roster files, open roles, and committed POs, then iterates with department leaders to refine assumptions.
Key Dough enablement
Department-scoped data security — each leader sees only their own payroll and vendor-spend detail.

Agent 02
Coupa Approval Agent
Pulls every pending Coupa approval, scores each against FY budget and prior committed spend, and returns an Approve / Return / Discuss report with drafted comments posted back to Coupa.
Key Dough enablement
Governed access provisioned by Dough — a Coupa key, Anaplan budget data, procurement-policy context.

Agent 03
Convertible Note Memo Agent
Runs daily, watching Gmail for new PwC convertible-note valuation reports — decrypts the PDFs, extracts figures, and drafts a fair-value memo per instrument.
Key Dough enablement
Audit-ready by default — full logging of the reasoning chain and token cost behind every memo.

Architect
Get the architecture right before a single agent runs — stand up the data foundation and map every core system.
→Normalized data warehouse & data lake
→ERP, AR/AP, billing & FP&A mapped
→Context layer & access scopes defined
→Direct integrations, not inefficient MCPs
→
02
Build
Use Dough to build agents (or have our FDEs build them for you). Dough's primitives and development framework turn workflows into agents in days.
→Primitives — data tables, files, pages
→Dough development framework & patterns
→Shared skill & agent repository prevents redundant work
→Evals to harden before you deploy, ensuring your agents work in production
→
03
Deploy & Govern
Ship to production with governance built in.
→Agents work off the most up-to-date context
→Hosted agents write back to core systems
→Full audit log + token-spend ROI
→RBAC, SSO & SOX controls
→Governed approval workflows
