02 / Control Shift
→

Show the finance mess getting sorted into usable structure.

This section uses a filing-machine style animation instead of basic before/after cards. Red alerts rotate on the left,then the sorter visual points toward the cleaner green state on the right.

Before

Finance pressure points
Restricted fundsMoney is not clearly separated.Leadership cannot quickly see what is restricted,committed,or available.
Grant codingExpenses are hard to map.Grant budgets and reimbursement categories do not connect cleanly to the books.
Payroll allocationStaff costs need manual fixes.Program and grant splits get handled late,creating reporting pressure.
Board reportingReports take too long.The team rebuilds numbers from too many files before meetings.
→Black Cato sorts the system
