Supplier payments
Check the AI’s amount limit and approved recipient before releasing a payment instruction.
Solutions · Financial services
Check payment permission before AI moves money.
An AI assistant can prepare a supplier payment without having unlimited spending authority. See a payment above its assigned limit stop, and a smaller payment pass the same example rule.

Can AI send a payment that is too large?
Keep payment authority in the hands of the people accountable for the money.

This payment stops here. The AI wants to send four point eight million dollars, but its limit is fifty thousand.
Think of it as checking permission before money can move. Your finance leaders set the limits; the AI does not get to change them.
This is just one example. Other workflows could cover supplier payments, customer refunds, or transfers that need a second approval.
Each needs its own rules and a connection that checks permission before acting. This browser illustration moves no money. Passing one rule does not replace other payment checks.

02 · Your rule applies
This AI may send payments up to $50,000.
03 · Example outcome
Ready to check. No request has been evaluated in this example yet.
An example company limit. Passing this rule does not replace other payment controls.

Who owns it, and how it connects.
You keep your AI and existing systems. We start with one workflow, configure checks around your approved rules, and connect them where the AI tries to act. Authorized requests can proceed. Other requests stop, with a record explaining the decision.
- 01 · Set the rules
Business and control owners
Your Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer define payment limits and approved recipients, with oversight from your Chief Risk Officer where appropriate.
- 02 · Connect the workflow
Integration specialists
Your integration engineers connect the payment workflow, supported by security architects.
- 03 · Check before action
The connected execution path
Before a payment instruction is released to the connected payment system. The integration must prevent the agent from going around the check.
What does a first implementation involve?
We scope one workflow, translate supported rules into a versioned, validated, signed policy package, and connect an adapter that supplies trusted facts such as identity, recipient, and approval status. We then test allowed requests, blocked requests, and attempts to bypass the check before enabling execution.
One maintained kernel can support different policy packages and system adapters. A JSON file alone is not a complete deployment. We confirm rule support and integration requirements for your systems during scoping; additional implementation may be needed.
These are typical ownership patterns; responsibilities vary by organization.
Why this check matters
A payment instruction exceeds the AI’s limit.
An approved supplier does not make every payment amount acceptable. Here, a $4.8 million instruction exceeds the AI’s $50,000 limit. A $40,000 instruction passes that one check. A connected payment workflow must also apply its other required controls before money moves.

The payment example demonstrates one permission boundary. The products below address distinct financial workflows: distributed-ledger transactions, mortgage guidelines, and claims. The example is not a demonstration of all three products.
SovereignGate
What it is
A deterministic governance layer for autonomous actors operating on distributed ledger networks.
The problem it solves
On-chain execution is irreversible. Once a transaction settles there is no recall, so a control that reviews after the fact controls nothing. SovereignGate evaluates the transaction against its authority before it is submitted, and refuses the ones that fall outside it.
MortgageGuard
What it is
Offline-first mortgage guideline evaluation with a signed record for every decision.
The problem it solves
Guideline evaluation is where lending exposure is created, and it happens at volume under time pressure. MortgageGuard applies the guideline deterministically rather than by judgment, so the same file produces the same answer every time, and the reasoning is on the record rather than in recollection.
ClaimsGuard
What it is
Deterministic claims adjudication that runs without a network connection.
The problem it solves
Adjudication decisions get made quickly, by many hands, and are reconstructed much later during a dispute. ClaimsGuard evaluates before it executes and writes a tamper-evident record of what was decided and why, so the reconstruction is a lookup rather than an investigation.
The evidence it leaves
A decision is only settled if someone else can check it.
For an integrated payment workflow, the record should connect the payment instruction, the authority and limit checked, and the resulting decision. The illustration above issues no payment and no signed receipt. Use the live rover demonstration to inspect actual kernel evidence.
