What is automated, where AI helps, who signs off
Automation for the routine. A person on every decision that matters.
The reliable spine
The reliable spine is validation and routing: every extracted figure checked against the totals on the document and against the source system, with anything that does not tie held in an exception queue rather than passed through. A clean row only lands when it reconciles.
Where AI helps
AI does the reading itself, lifting line items and totals off dense platform statements and varied vendor and freelancer invoices into the fields the reconciliation and the budget match need. It proposes the rows; the validation rules and a person catch what it gets wrong.
Who signs off
A named person signs off anything touching money, stock, a customer promise, a regulated filing, a payment, a price, a credit decision or a people decision.
