Fund it, build it,book it — on oneset of numbers.

Agents read what arrives, check it against the books, and hand you the entry to approve.

the short answer

One record for the deal, the build and the books.

Investment management, construction and accounting in one place, not three. One set of numbers, whoever is asking — the sponsor, the team on site, or the people who funded it.

who it is for

For developers running several projects, several entities and one set of books.

for the sponsor: Scenario models, debt schedules and waterfalls on one set of numbers.
for the team building it: Budgets, draws and change orders, current while you can still act on them.
for the people keeping the books: Invoices read, transactions matched, entries proposed for approval.
for the people who funded it: Investor statements and data rooms built from live project data.

what happens

What happens between a document arriving and the books being right.

Five stages, in one direction. Work arrives from the places it already lands, is read and checked, and comes back as a decision waiting to be made.

figure — what is runningsix places work lands, twenty-two workers in six groups, and the entry that comes backred is where somebody outside the company has checked it

Work arrives from the places it already lands.
Email is polled every two minutes. SharePoint channels, the Drive mirror, Slack threads, the bank feed and vendors uploading to their own portal all arrive the same way. Six inboxes watched, not one drop zone.
Every document is read and checked against the books.
Classification, field and line extraction, five OCR backends, orientation, vendor resolution and cost coding — twenty-two workers in six groups. Bank transactions are matched against ledger lines, invoices, commitments and cash events.
What leaves the building is assembled from the same records.
Rooms, packages and drafts are built from the project itself, not collected by hand the week they are due.
The entry is written before anyone opens it.
How sure the agent is decides who gets asked to look at it. A confident match goes to the accountant; an unclear one goes back to the person who knows what the money was for.
Numbers move together, and nothing is lost when they change.
Twenty-two kinds of record are versioned — budgets, deal models, valuations, positions, vendors, entity facts, draws and loan terms. Change an assumption and every report moves; the old one is still there.

cross-reference

Records, budgets and communications are cross-referenced.

The vendor, the cost code, the commitment and the bank line are matched before anyone looks.

Matching, second-pass review and agentic resolution run on a job, not on a click.

automation

Nothing posts on its own — every entry comes back for you to approve.

answers: Answers are computed against the books as they stand, not a copy. Approvers are set for the company and for each project. Nothing automated runs until it is switched on.
the tie-out: The tie-out between QuickBooks, AppFolio and Cellect is a stored reference, not a hope.

issue a draw

Issue a draw — the package, the G702 and the backup, assembled from the budget rather than by hand.

what they see

Investor and lender rooms.

Investors get positions, statements, transactions and onboarding, signed and funded without an email chain. Lenders get the draw package with its backup, in a room you control.

Pulled live from the library rather than copied, with per-recipient access. The investor package is built from project data as slides, sheets or web.
