Ask this in both demos

01Are you a SaaS company, or do you span multiple verticals (services, manufacturing, healthcare)?

02How married is your finance team to Excel as the working surface?
Why it matters: Vena IS Excel; Drivetrain is a modern web app that deprecates Excel for daily work.
03Do you need AI agents for variance + driver discovery, or is Copilot-style assist enough?
Why it matters: Drivetrain ships dedicated forecasting agents; Vena Copilot is closer to natural-language assist on top of Excel models.
