The Problem

Most spreadsheet risk is invisible

Excel doesn't warn you. It just keeps calculating. The risks compound silently until someone presents the wrong number to the board.

💥

Formulas that silently break

A cell gets deleted, a column shifts. Your model keeps calculating — just with #REF! errors nobody noticed.

🕵️

No one knows how it works

The person who built the model left. Now it's a black box. Any change could collapse the whole thing.

🔗

Hidden dependencies everywhere

Five workbooks daisy-chained together. One update breaks three downstream reports. Nobody mapped it.

🔥

Hardcoded values masquerading as logic

Tax rates, thresholds, multipliers baked into cells. They drift from reality. Auditors ask questions.

What You Get

Everything you need to understand your Excel estate

Risk Intelligence

Know exactly what's broken — and why it matters

SheetSift runs 15 parallel checks: broken references, hardcoded values, circular deps, volatile functions, external links, hidden elements, and more. Each finding is scored by business impact, not just presence.

  • Weighted risk score — not just a count
  • Sheet-level heatmap shows where complexity clusters
  • AI deep-dive explains what the risk means in plain English
Dependency Mapping

Visualise the hidden wiring inside your workbooks

SheetSift traces every formula dependency — inter-sheet flows, cross-file references, and circular chains — and renders it as an interactive lineage diagram. Finally see the chain before you pull the thread.

  • Sankey inter-sheet flow diagram
  • Cross-file dependency detection
  • Critical output traceability from source cell to final figure
Assessment Report

An executive deliverable, not a developer log

Download a branded Excel Hell Assessment Report: risk grade, top 5 drivers in business language, sheet role map, remediation priorities, and a full findings appendix. Designed to go straight to the committee.

  • Risk grade + business-language pain-point summary
  • Prioritised remediation list with effort guidance
  • CSV export for your own analysis
