A classifier that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes expense review. Aimed at auto repair owner-operators, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.

Auto repair teams lose expenses approved without anyone actually reading them. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
