Yes, absolutely. I am offering to provide this now, provided there is genuine community interest in it. To clarify the origin, this is entirely Neil Aggarwal’s report. Neil requested it, developed the logic, provided the sample data, and demonstrated its utility. While I was initially skeptical it could be done, I supported the view that it belonged in Scheme and handled the conversion process. My accounting background isn't strong enough to formally classify the specific financial report type, but practically speaking, it is highly flexible and accommodates the business dimensions I use. It fits cleanly into Reports -> Examples. Dropping it there allows users who need to report on filtered text dimensions to use it immediately, without requiring any changes to existing documentation, database structures, or core terminology. As an isolated example report, I would be glad to assist with user feedback and basic upkeep so it remains a low-impact addition for the core team. Regarding the code framework: I used a standard, iterative development approach with piecemeal AI assistance, testing comprehensively as I went. The code is fully human-reviewed and verified. It aligns strictly with our working draft AI Policy, so the code is ready without requiring an AI warning header.
