Excel supports formulae that are difficult to read. Though we can use a VLOOKUP, we have to engage our brains to make sure we understand what it's doing. And when we see a formula that's a mile long grabbing data from multiple worksheets and workbooks, well it just make us want to take up market gardening.
Packola's reduced instruction set means you can't do those sorts of things. It's instant to see how any number's come about. The colour of the cell type tells you a lot. Precedent squares are a direct copy of a number calculated on another board. Formulae work only on the squares on the current board. And there's no VLOOKUP at all.
Reduced instruction set means reduced confusion. That leads to confidence and clarity.

Complexity is Easy
Complexity is easy to create. You just keep adding to what was there before. Before you know it, you have a complex system. Checking that a complex system is correct is very time-consuming. When it's wrong, it may take an age to find out where it's wrong. And you don't have an age, do you?
Packola deliberately keeps things simple. Simple formulae act on clearly visible source data. When two years of account use the same method they share that method, one's not an old copy of the other. Packola helps you find the annoying adjustments that just had to be made. And all the data's live all of the time, you don't even have to click save.
