# Adea

> Adea watches a company's numbers, straight from its own read-only database. It answers questions about the business in plain language with sources, checks every number each night against what's normal, explains why a number moved, and turns findings into lists the team works through. Hosted in the EU, never used to train AI. English and Danish.

## What Adea does
- Watch: every important number is checked each night against its normal range for that weekday and season; the owner hears the morning one moves.
- Explain: when a number moves, Adea tests the likely causes (code changes, prices, campaigns, the calendar) and says which one fits and how sure it is.
- Ask: questions in plain words, answered from the company's own systems, with the sources behind every number.
- Lists: an answer or a finding becomes a list of the people behind it, with owners and statuses.
- Guardian: checks every query before it runs; personal data in bulk can be held for an administrator's approval.
