They are the people closest to the decisions that matter. Companies don't pay a premium for code itself. They pay for three things:
Coding is the delivery mechanism. A developer who implements a specification and a developer who defines the specification may write equally good code. But they carry completely different levels of business impact.
AI is making that difference impossible to ignore. As implementation becomes cheaper, the value shifts upward toward people who can define problems, set system boundaries, make trade-offs, and take ownership of outcomes.
Financial forecasting gets treated like a data problem.
It is not.
It is a workflow problem.
The data is already there. Every company has it.
What kills them is the loop: collect it, clean it, structure it, analyse it, build the report, send it out, then do the entire thing again next month. That is where the hours go.
ELECTE was built on that observation. Not another dashboard. A system that runs the loop for you.
