Invoice Research & Pre-Payment Due Diligence
Before you pay a new invoice, our 4-agent crew verifies the vendor is real, the pricing is on-market, it matches a PO and contract, and nothing trips a fraud signal — then writes a 1-page audit memo your controller can sign.
How it works
1. Verify the vendor
Agent pulls state-registration data, D-U-N-S, OFAC and sanctions lists, and 3 recent news items — returning a green/yellow/red verdict card.
2. Match the paper trail
Contract & PO agent compares every line item to the underlying PO and the master services agreement, flagging variance and citing relevant clauses.
3. Price-check and fraud-screen
Pricing agent runs 3-way market benchmarks. Risk agent checks bank-account changes, domain spoofing, duplicate-payment patterns, and anomalous invoice-number sequences.
60-second Loom
90-second flow: pick a suspicious invoice from the dropdown → watch four agents stream live findings → see the color-coded verdict pills resolve → 1-page audit memo opens with ESCALATE/HOLD/APPROVE recommendation and a controller signature block.

Who it’s for
Controllers, AP leads, and internal audit teams at mid-market firms who need to add controls on new-vendor invoices without slowing payment cycles — especially anything over $10k or from a vendor with no history.

Frequently asked questions
Which compliance data sources are used?
D-U-N-S for business registration, OFAC SDN and Consolidated Sanctions List for sanctions screening, PEP databases, state Secretary of State registries, and Moody’s/Dun & Bradstreet for risk scores. All integrations are OAuth or API-key based.
Can this run before every invoice or just new vendors?
Both modes ship. ‘New-vendor only’ runs full due diligence once per vendor. ‘Every-invoice’ adds lightweight pricing + risk checks on recurring vendors too — slower but catches insider-fraud patterns like bank-account-change attacks.
Does it replace our internal audit team?
No — it equips them. The 1-page audit memo cuts manual review time from 30–45 minutes per suspicious invoice to 2–3 minutes of reading + signature. Auditors still make the call.
How does pricing benchmark against our spend?
The Pricing Agent pulls both industry benchmarks (legal hourly by jurisdiction, SaaS per-seat by category, consulting day rates) and your own historical spend with the same vendor. Variance >15% triggers a flag.
