TIERS AI: Product Tour
AI-led digital operations that enable small teams to deliver complex engagements with ease, speed, and accuracy.
The AI Operator: Second Wind understands goals, composes workflows, builds capabilities, and can explain every result.
The Engine: A hardened, reality-tested calculation engine that produces the same answer from the same inputs, every time, at any scale.
THE AI OPERATOR
SECOND WIND
Second Wind is your reliable digital coworker.
An advanced runtime entity, Second Wind combines a Mind that reasons, a Runtime that acts, and a Memory that preserves.
With access to the same TIERS capabilities that human users enjoy, Second Wind operates as a careful, tireless, always-available colleague.
92.9% on 2,400 CPA exam questions
In October 2025, we conducted an informal benchmark against 2,400 CPA exam multiple-choice questions sourced from multiple years and regulatory regimes.
Going in blind, Second Wind answered 2,230 correctly (92.9%), with most errors relating to uncertainty over the applicable regulatory regime.
SECOND WIND FOUNDRY
Second Wind is not only a system operator, but also a software factory.
Second Wind can extend TIERS’ capabilities without alteration of its deterministic tax logic.
Under our team’s direction, Second Wind has developed reliable and repeatable new capabilities, including:
K-1 package and PBC ingestion with deep data extraction and analysis
K-1/K-3 reconciliation with cross-walk ontological mapping
1065 e-file XML comparisons and reconciliation against data sources.
Historically, problems like these, which require both deep engineering expertise and expert professional judgement, could only be addressed incompletely and at considerable expense.
Building new workflows that combine deterministic automation with its own cognitive capabilities, Second Wind quietly eliminates these problems altogether.
THE ENGINE
HIGH-PERFORMANCE CALCULATIONS
TIERS’ calculation logic follows hard-won and reality-tested patterns learned over the past 25 years.
Our domain-driven design is conceptually founded in the Internal Revenue Code, Federal Regulations, and State Statutes.
We make no simplifying assumptions.
TIERS’ calculation engine employs cloud computing, parallel processing, and in-memory analysis techniques.
Speed and tax technical accuracy are our hallmarks.
Built-in visual tools and open data structures support near-realtime business intelligence.
Slice, dice, roll-up, drill-down, and pivot in the browser.
When a question is especially difficult, simply ask Second Wind to extract the source data and create a new analysis pipeline using Python, Excel, Alteryx, or any other toolset of preference.
AUTO ORGANIZATIONAL CHART
TIERS’ org chart dynamically displays the full legal entity tiering structure, key system calculation results, and status metadata.
Engagement ANALYTICS
Team administrators can create widget-based dashboards and customize them to each unique engagement.
Widgets are included for both tax calculation-related insights and critical engagement progress metrics.
K-1, K-3, and footnote generation
TIERS directly produces K-1s, K-3s, footnotes, and ancillary documents in PDF, white paper, and AI-first “smart” formats.
Documents may be generated in bulk or in parts, across all entities and investors, based on any single snapshot of system outputs.
The consistency of rendered documents with source data is guaranteed and directly verifiable.
Individual documents can also be generated on the fly for instantaneous pro-forma review.
Form 1065 and e-file XML generation is planned for a future release.
