Problem

What pain this asset closes first

Payout rules live in spreadsheets and ad-hoc scripts.
Operators lack clean approval flows and exception handling.
Finance teams spend too much time reconciling delayed or failed payouts.

Buyer + timing

Who should care

Primary buyer: Marketplace operators, creator platforms and embedded-finance product teams

Why now: More platforms want embedded payout logic, but regulated rails, reconciliation and exception handling are still expensive to build from scratch.
