The recon that runs itself (almost)

The bookkeeper wasn’t slow. The work was just boring — and boring work is where humans burn out and miss things.

The play wasn’t to replace her. It was to filter her queue.

The system reads each invoice, looks for a bank line that matches on amount + date window + vendor name (fuzzy), and:

• Confidence ≥ 92% → auto-match, log it, move on.
• Confidence 60–92% → suggested match, one-click approve.
• Confidence below 60% → drop it in the human queue with the top three guesses attached.

She still owns the books. She just stops doing the parts a junior couldn’t do anyway.

What changed

• Books closed by day 3 instead of day 9.
• Her queue went from 200 items to ~16 weird ones — the kind that need her judgment.
• She found two duplicate vendor entries the system flagged that nobody had noticed in 18 months.

That last one is the quiet win. Filtering noise also surfaces signal.
