Waiting on your judgment.

Each item shows what Keel proposes, why, and, where Keel scored a guess, how sure it is. Never a bare yes/no. Deciding an item removes it from this queue and writes the outcome, with your name on it, to the Activity log.

Urgent · Keel couldn't read this one

Below the 40% floor

No. 0876 · Sat Aug 1 · 16:12 · Incoming wire Uncategorized

Wire received: Bridge City Holdings · +$2,300.00

Why Keel is asking No matching invoice, no history with this sender, and no memo on the wire. Below 40% confidence Keel never guesses: money it can't explain waits for a human eye before it touches your books.

No. 0871 · Thu Jul 30 · 09:18 · Categorization Needs approval

Riverside Supper Club: −$148.32

Keel's reasoning A weekday-evening charge at a restaurant you've used before for client dinners, but it also matches the deposit quoted for the spring tasting event. Two live candidates at 62%, well under your 90% bar, so Keel won't guess. Picking one teaches it for next time.

No. 0870 · Thu Jul 30 · 15:30 · Dispute Needs approval

Cobalt & Pine dispute: invoice #209, $1,150.00

Keel's reasoning Cobalt & Pine disputed this invoice on July 29. A dispute pauses the whole reminder sequence: Keel won't keep nudging a client who says the bill is wrong. Nothing moves again, in either direction, until you've looked at their claim.

No. 0873 · Fri Jul 31 · 11:47 · Possible duplicate Needs approval

Roastery Supply Co., −$890.00 charged twice on July 30

Keel's reasoning Same vendor, same amount, same day. That pattern never resolves automatically: in either direction. And if both are real (a split order, say), confirming below only de-prioritizes this exact pair; it never blinds Keel to a genuine future duplicate from the same vendor.

No. 0874 · Fri Jul 31 · 14:02 · Bill payment Needs approval

Pay Nordic Roasting Equipment: −$12,500.00

Keel's reasoning Invoice #NR-1181, due August 8. This is the first payment to a new vendor, so it comes to you no matter the amount, the confidence, or your settings. That rail is permanent, it can't be loosened, even on the Autonomy page.

No. 0875 · Sat Aug 1 · 08:00 · Invoice reminder Needs approval

Second reminder to Marlow & Vine: invoice #204, $4,200.00, 15 days overdue

Keel's reasoning The first reminder went out automatically at 7 days overdue and drew no reply. Anything past a first notice is always your call: it's your client relationship, and only you know how firm to be. The draft is ready whenever you are.

House rules

Keel never takes an irreversible, high-stakes, or ambiguous action without you. What counts as "routine" is yours to tune on the Autonomy page: except the permanently locked rails, which always ask.
