The plain-English version — what it is, the problem it removes, and the only two answers it ever gives.
AKRIBBA recomputes every payout batch — in exact integer math — before money moves, and returns one decision: ALLOW or HOLD.
It sits quietly between the systems you already run — your accounting/ERP on one side, your payment processors and bank on the other.
Nothing gets ripped out. One check is added before payments leave, and two small fields are stored so any batch can be proven again later.
Every close, the same story: your accounting system says one number, your processor says another, and the total you actually sign is the one your team rebuilt by hand last night. The pennies that don't match block everything — and you usually find out after the money already moved.
Same inputs, same outputs, down to the penny, every single run. Toggle the tax-clearance attestation below from Fresh to Stale and watch the decision flip — while the underlying math stays bit-for-bit identical.

Run it twice — the digest is identical. That repeatability is the proof.
Never "something looks off." AKRIBBA is specific, and it's actionable.
Most tools are reconciliation — they tell you what went wrong after the payment is already gone. AKRIBBA decides first.
