Operational Impact

  • • Invoice risk score unavailable in sidecar for AP review
  • • Payment hold workflow cannot evaluate fraud thresholds
  • • Manual remediation required before posting window closes
  • • AI-native competitors ship governed fixes faster than manual runbooks

"15 hours per integration is now the small problem. The real problem is survival: AI speed without governance loses trust and market share."
