How do I get a flow-of-funds diagram from the chat?

Last updated

Ask Daystrom to trace the money and it draws a flow-of-funds diagram showing where cash came from and where it went, built from your client's real data.


A flow-of-funds diagram is the picture attorneys ask for most: money comes in on one side, splits across the middle, and lands on the other. Daystrom can draw one from the client's real transactions, so you can show a judge or an expert where the cash actually went.

How do I ask for a flow-of-funds diagram?

Ask Daystrom to trace or map the flow of money. Any of these work:

  • "Draw a flow of funds for their paycheck: where does it go each month?"

  • "Show the flow from income into spending categories."

  • "Trace the money out of the checking account."

Daystrom builds the diagram from the processed ledger, so the bands match the actual amounts. You can open it larger, focus on the biggest flows or a date range, and save it as a PNG image for a filing.

Note

A flow-of-funds diagram reads in one direction, from sources to destinations. If money moved both ways between the same two accounts, Daystrom nets it out or splits the account into an "in" side and an "out" side so the picture stays clear.

When is a flow-of-funds diagram the right view?

Use it when the story is about movement: tracing a transfer to a spouse, showing how a deposit was spent down, or laying out how funds passed between accounts. When the story is about totals instead, a bar or line chart reads better. Either way, once you have the answer you can export the underlying transactions to a spreadsheet to back it up.
