—Questions

Straight answers.

CSV, XLSX or XLS exports from any accounting package or Excel, up to 25 MB. You need supplier name, amount and date; invoice numbers make the scan sharper.

Files are encrypted in transit and at rest, deleted automatically after 7 days, and never shared or used to train AI. Nothing connects to your accounting system or bank.

Every figure comes from ten versioned, tested rules. The same file gives the same answer every time. AI only writes plain-English explanations; it never creates a number.

Companies House, The Gazette's insolvency notices and the FCDO UK Sanctions List, live, for every supplier. Benchmarks come from gov.uk Payment Practices reports.

The scan and headline totals are free. The full report is £97, or £197 Pro for files over 10,000 rows. The Supplier Reclaim Kit is a £27 add-on.

Every product carries a 14-day refund guarantee. For the Integrity Scan, if we don't find at least three times the price in High-confidence value, you're refunded automatically.

Payables Shield and Customer Payment Radar are subscription products launching next. Join the waitlist and you'll hear first, with launch pricing.

Stop paying twice.
