360 spreadsheet collaboration

Your spreadsheet review does not belong in email. It belongs in the model.

Rockhopper brings every comment, review question, and sign-off back into the spreadsheet so finance teams can close with clarity.

The problem

Review happens everywhere except the spreadsheet. Comments in email, questions in chat, markups in meetings, approvals on calls. Critical finance review workflows become disconnected and impossible to reconstruct.

01 · Email fragmentation

Comments die in email threads

A reviewer flags a key assumption. The question moves to a long email chain. By resolution, people are acting on different versions of the answer.

"Did anyone reply to Sarah's question about the headcount ramp?"

02 · Missing context

No certainty on who said what, or when

Native spreadsheet comments show text, but not full review context. You cannot see version lineage, response history, or whether the issue was resolved.

"This comment says fix this."

"Was it from Q2?"

"Is it still open?"

03 · Version drift

Reviews do not survive version changes

Teams leave detailed feedback on one version and continue work in another. Notes drift away from current cells, and reviewers lose trust in what still applies.

"Controller notes are from two versions ago."

"I do not know what still applies."

04 · Audit gap

No defensible trail of what was reviewed

When leadership or audit asks who reviewed a critical assumption, teams know it happened but cannot prove it quickly with a clean evidence trail.

"We reviewed this."

"I cannot show where review lives."

How it works

Every conversation is anchored to the exact cell and version that caused it. Rockhopper replaces disconnected review workflows with one collaboration layer across Excel and Google Sheets.

01 — Cell-level comments

Comment exactly where question starts

Click any cell, leave context-rich feedback, and tag teammates directly. Comments are tied to exact data points, not vague file-level threads.

Cell anchor @mentions Context-rich notes
02 — Instant responses

Resolve review loops in same thread

Reviewers ask questions and owners answer in place. No side channels, no duplicate copies, no lost follow-ups.

In-thread replies Fast resolution No Slack handoffs
03 — Version threading

Every thread bound to right model version

Threads stay attached to version where they were created. Teams can move to new versions without corrupting prior review context.

Version context Zero ambiguity Clean handoffs
04 — Permanent history

Keep every comment, reply, and sign-off

Rockhopper stores complete collaboration history so finance teams can retrieve proof of review instantly months later.

Infinite retention Audit evidence Sign-off traceability
In-product collaboration

One thread from first question to final answer.

Teams review inside model with full context. Every reply remains attached to the right cell and version so collaboration stays clear as model evolves.

  • Use cell and range references to point at exact assumptions
  • Tag owners with @mentions and notify them instantly
  • Track reply status, open questions, and resolved items
  • Move between versions without losing thread intent
  • Keep decisions visible to every stakeholder in workflow

Close cycle scenario

From first question to CFO sign-off in one place.

This is what clean close collaboration looks like when review happens inside spreadsheet instead of scattered across email and chat.

  • Controller raises assumption question directly on source cell
  • Owner responds in-thread with updated rationale and data
  • Reviewer confirms fix and marks item resolved
  • Leadership sees full review trail before final sign-off
  • Audit evidence is already documented by default

“We used to have a 47-reply email thread to review one assumption. Now the conversation lives on the cell. The CFO asked who reviewed the revenue model and we showed the thread in 10 seconds.”
