    { "turn": 4,  "speaker": "spk_1", "sentences": { "0": "We pull four exports — the ERP, the POS system, the inventory tool, and a payroll summary.", "1": "Then a Power Query script merges them.", "2": "That part takes maybe two hours a month now." } },

    { "turn": 6,  "speaker": "spk_1", "sentences": { "0": "Before we built the script it was closer to two days.", "1": "The column headers in the POS export kept changing, so we hard-coded a mapping table and the script applies it.", "2": "The vendor changes the format about once a quarter, so we update the table then." } },
    { "turn": 7,  "speaker": "spk_0", "sentences": { "0": "So the merge isn't really a problem anymore?" } },
    { "turn": 8,  "speaker": "spk_1", "sentences": { "0": "Not the merge, no.", "1": "What eats time is reconciliation.", "2": "The POS revenue number and the ERP revenue number never agree, and I spend probably a day every month figuring out which one is right." } },
    { "turn": 9,  "speaker": "spk_0", "sentences": { "0": "Have you looked at tools for that?" } },
    { "turn": 10, "speaker": "spk_1", "sentences": { "0": "A bit.", "1": "We have about twenty thousand a year for team tooling that I can spend without asking anyone.", "2": "Nothing I've seen does the reconciliation the way we need it." } },
    { "turn": 11, "speaker": "spk_0", "sentences": { "0": "If a tool handled column remapping automatically, would that be useful?" } },
    { "turn": 12, "speaker": "spk_1", "sentences": { "0": "Honestly, no.", "1": "We've solved that.", "2": "If it flagged mismatches between sources, that I'd pay for." } },
    { "turn": 13, "speaker": "spk_0", "sentences": { "0": "Does security need to review tools you bring in?" } },
    { "turn": 14, "speaker": "spk_1", "sentences": { "0": "Only if they connect to the ERP directly.", "1": "Anything that just reads exported files, we can use." } },
    { "turn": 15, "speaker": "spk_0", "sentences": { "0": "Thanks, that's very clear." } },
