What Playbooks do

Playbooks hold the SOPs that guide Ask Yarken through recurring analysis workflows.

They help teams keep analysis consistent for workflows such as:

  • Budget variance analysis.

  • Cloud spend reviews.

  • Vendor reviews.

  • Forecast reporting.

  • Financial root cause analysis.

Playbooks guide analysis. They do not override permissions, create missing data, or change source records.

The Playbooks screen includes:

  1. Agent SOPs.

  2. Uploaded Files.

  3. Add New.

  4. Upload.

  5. Edit and delete actions.

  6. Download action.

Use Agent SOPs to create, review, update, or remove SOPs.

Use Uploaded Files to check uploaded SOP-related files and load status.


When to use Playbooks

Examples:

  • Explain actuals versus budget.

  • Review cloud spend against forecast.

  • Identify vendor cost movement.

  • Prepare a monthly finance review.

  • Investigate financial root cause.
