With PETRA in the roleEvery line was screened against that supplier's own history, the proposal reconciled to its source, and here is what we held.

PETRA assembles and reconciles the proposal, screens every line, verifies payee state, holds anomalies, confirms settlement. The run for release, with held lines, evidence and recommended treatment.

The number PETRA is measured on

Every digital coworker is hired against one primary measure, agreed and baselined before build. The others are read alongside it so the primary cannot be moved at their expense.

Primary measure

Payment lines screened before release

  • Anomalies intercepted pre-release
  • Clean payment proposals released on schedule
  • Bank rejection and repair rate
  1. 01

    Anomalies caught before release, rather than recovered afterwards through goodwill and speed

  2. 02

    A run reconciled to its source, counts and values, not just a status

  3. 03

    Release decided against a liquidity picture, not against a total

  4. 04

    A complete evidence chain from source totals through instruction identifiers to bank acknowledgement

  5. 05

    Early-settlement discounts captured where paying earlier is worth more than paying on terms

What PETRA does alone, and what stays with your team

PETRA reports to the CFO / Treasurer. Anything outside the written boundary goes to master-data control, compliance, treasury or controls & risk, with the evidence attached.

“Authorised. Logged. Reversible.”
