Signals are scheduled briefs and conditional alerts that run in the background. Describe the brief you want each morning or the condition you want watched — CentSight builds the plan and delivers it as a [Report] or [Alert], in-app and by email.

What It Does
Most founders check their numbers when they remember to — which is rarely the moment something needs attention. Signals flip that around. You tell CentSight what you want to know and when, and it runs the work in the background and brings the answer to you.
A Signal is either a recurring brief — “every weekday at 8 AM, send me cash, burn and runway” — or a conditional alert — “tell me when any invoice goes 30 days overdue.” Briefs run on the cadence you set; alerts are evaluated on every sync. Either way, the result lands in-app and by email, tagged [Report] or [Alert], with a link to the full report.
CentSight reads QuickBooks Online and your bank through Plaid — read-only, always. Signals never move money or write back to your books; they watch, summarize, and tell you what changed. Pair them with real-time dashboards and you have both the live picture and the scheduled summary.
How Signals Work
Describe it
Tell CentSight in plain English: “Every weekday at 8 AM, send me a morning brief on cash, burn and runway,” or “Alert me when any invoice goes 30 days overdue.” Give it a label, the task, and the cadence — recurring brief or conditional alert.
Generate the plan
The Generate Plan advisor turns your request into a Generated methodology — exactly what the analyst will check each time it runs — and confirms when it's ready. You review it, adjust the output notes, and set it Active.

It runs on cadence
Active Signals run in the background on the schedule you set; conditional alerts evaluate on every sync. No dashboards to babysit. You can Run Now any time and review the full run history.

Delivered to you
Each result arrives in-app and by email, tagged [Report] for a scheduled brief or [Alert] for a triggered condition, with a “View full report” link. The numbers come with you — no logging in to find out what happened.
Use Cases
Start every weekday with cash, burn, and runway in your inbox. A recurring brief runs at 8 AM and lands as a [Report] before your first meeting.
Ask CentSight to alert you when any invoice crosses 30 days overdue. The condition is checked on every sync and arrives as an [Alert] the moment it trips.
Close out the week with a burn summary — spend by category, the month-over-month delta, and what moved. Scheduled once a week, delivered as a [Report].
Set a runway floor and let CentSight watch it for you. When runway drops below your threshold, you get an [Alert] early enough to raise, cut, or collect.
Get a heads-up when an unusually large charge clears, so a five-figure debit never surprises you on a statement two weeks later.
FAQ
In-app notifications and email — that's it. Each one is tagged [Report] for a scheduled brief or [Alert] for a triggered condition, with a “View full report” link straight to the detail.
A brief runs on a fixed cadence — daily, weekly, whenever you choose — and summarizes the numbers you asked for. An alert is conditional: it's evaluated on every sync and only reaches you when the condition you set is met, like an invoice crossing 30 days overdue.
No. CentSight connects to QuickBooks Online and your bank through Plaid in read-only mode. Signals watch and summarize — they never move money or write back to your accounting software.
