Building this market:

The problem

Source-to-pay is labour-heavy and leaks 2–5% of spend to fraud, duplicate invoices and weak supplier controls; one bad payment can be a sanctions violation.

What you get

Suppliers onboarded and screened; invoices three-way-matched and paid straight-through under threshold; sanctions hits hard-blocked; large/flagged payments escalated.

The flow

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

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.
