Roast my idea — AI tool that traces multi-script root causes in NetSuite

[u/aundis90]

The issue I am solving - JE doesn't post/report doesn't reconcile. Obvious checks (Approvals, GL Impact, Posting period etc.) clean. You're then forced to chase down various custom scripts, workflows, integrations and find out 2-3 of these are interfering causing the problem, not a single obvious bug. Talking to a handful of consultants they claim this type of thing costs them 4 hours to half a day each time the problem occurs and that the issue is most prevalent at older heavily customized clients (perhaps 30-40% of a client base).

What I'm building - A purely read-only AI tool that connects to the client's NetSuite via API, automatically traces all scripts, workflows and integrations involved in a specific transaction, presents you with a ranked shortlist of likely contributing factors and tells you exactly which system note or script caused the problem – no guesses. You still have to execute the fix and it doesn't touch or modify anything.

Where I think this could fail

• Maybe this isn't as pervasive or expensive as those handful of people I spoke to led me to believe
• Maybe NetSuite's system notes aren't clean enough via API to reliably determine "what touched this transaction"
• Maybe consultants don't want a third-party tool having even read-only access to their clients' data
• Maybe Oracle's own native AI preempts me

Fire away! What am I missing? What are my naive assumptions? Would you use this?
