Manual journal entry review

Reads manual journal entries, their support, the approval matrix. Produces reviewed entries, exceptions for controllers. Code works out every figure, the Judgement Engine answers the narrow questions, and whatever stays uncertain goes to a person.

What it decides

Narrow questions, each with a check behind it.

Whether an entry is supported, authorised, unusual

Cross-checked: support, approval matrix. A second source has to agree: a register, a contract, a list. When it does the judgement settles; when it doesn't, a person decides.

Illustrative lines. Amber rows are the Judgement Engine's calls; each settles only above its cutoff and when its check agrees.

Questions

What buyers ask

What happens when Sumarity isn't sure?

Nothing settles below the cutoff, or when the check disagrees. The item goes to a person in the inbox with what the engine saw, its best answer and the runner-up. The person's ruling is kept and tunes the next run.

How are its judgements checked?

A second source has to agree: a register, a contract, a list. When it does the judgement settles; when it doesn't, a person decides.

Can we change it to fit how we work?

Yes. Start from this workflow and describe your differences in plain words. The design assistant revises it, the validator checks it, your expert reviews it on the canvas, and your admin publishes it.

Does it read our files as they are?

Yes: spreadsheets and CSV in any layout, PDFs, bank formats and e-mail attachments. Sumarity suggests how each column maps, proves the mapping on a sample and remembers it once a person confirms it.

Where does our data go?

Sumarity runs in Zurich. Your data, backups and logs are stored in Switzerland.

How does it get better?

Your team's rulings become an answer key. Better questions and cutoffs are proposed, tested on data they haven't seen, and published only when your admin approves. It improves itself, with permission.

Start from this workflow. Run it on your data.

A pilot runs alongside your own process for a few weeks, at our cost, and ends in a line-by-line comparison.
