Building this market:

The problem

Bookkeeping and the monthly close are labour-heavy and control-sensitive; an autonomous mistake is a misstated financial statement and broken internal control.

What you get

Standard entries booked straight-through with segregation of duties; an immutable balanced ledger; non-standard revenue and the period-close lock escalated to a controller.

The flow

Intake to outcome. 🤖 steps run automatically; 🧑‍⚖️ steps are where a named human signs off the judgment calls.

Human checkpoints

  • Controller / accountant — A controller signs off non-standard entries, non-standard revenue and the period-close lock

The autopilot escalates the judgment calls to a qualified human — the rest is straight-through.

Why it's safe to let it run

Every autonomous decision is logged — who · what · confidence. Signed human checkpoints and a built-in compliance reviewer enforce the rails, so the outcome holds up to an audit, not just a demo. Every irreversible action runs only after a human signs — the autopilot does the volume, never the point of no return on its own.

🧑 Accountable owner: Controller — one person answers for what this autopilot does.
