CEDX Spend · Finance
36 budgets scored on day 14 of 31: 17 are projected past their limits by month-end, worth $231K of overshoot. Spend shows the projection, the burn behind it, and the requests still waiting on an approver.
The agent clears routine spend — 57% of reviewed volume — and escalates the rest with the reason printed: “amount ≥ $250”, “first-time vendor”, “hard-block policy hit”. No silent approvals, no silent denials.
Runs on demo data — the burn board labels itself “day 14 of 31” on the card.
What it is
Each budget carries spent, limit, end-of-month projection, overshoot and risk. Support tooling: $34K spent of $37K, projecting $76K, overshoot $39K, risk 76. Linear burn extrapolation — the alert says the method out loud.
69 escalations pending, $46K held for review — each with its reason chips: a $894 software line for “amount ≥ $250”, a $226 airfare for “first-time vendor”, a $98 ground line for “hard-block policy hit”. Approve and dismiss sit on the row.
40 vendors scored with share, spend, risk, band and tier: one software vendor at 16.2% of spend, tier Preferred, risk 96; a legal vendor at 9.1% on Watch. Diversifiable spend in the high band: $47K.
Product tour
Not a mockup and not a concept deck. This is what opens at /app/spend.
01 — Overview
MTD spend $29K across 320 transactions, $95K of requests pending, 24 budgets at risk of which 17 project over. Alerts price the problems: 27 requests past the 3-day SLA worth $81K, and 2 cards at 80%+ of their monthly limit.
02 — Budget burn
The burn board lists every budget's trajectory: community sponsorships already $9.1K over projection, contractor hardware at $12K over, recruiting ops $23K over. Status is a word — Over — with the arithmetic next to it.
03 — Agent review
Three tabs tell the whole story: 69 escalations awaiting a human, 91 auto-approved, 160 reviewed in all. The auto-clear rules are chips on the screen — under-$100 cap, recurring vendor, receipt matched — and 20 lines cleared this week with no human touch.
04 — Vendor risk
The risk board ranks 40 vendors: a marketing network at 11.1% of spend, an airline at 9.3% — each with a tier and a band. The diversify levers simulate the top-1 share falling from 16.2% to 12.9%.
Who runs it
Roles, not references. We have no named customers yet, so nobody in these photographs is quoted, credited or claimed as one.
Photographs the receipt, gets matched, and only hears about it again if the agent escalates — which it does with the reason attached.
57% auto-approved
Sees the end-of-month projection on day 14, not day 31 — their budget's overshoot is a number with a risk score, weeks early.
17 over · $231K
Watches top-vendor share and the blocked tier, and works the 27 requests aging past SLA before they become maverick buys.

Every figure below is legible in the captures above. Nothing here is a projection of your estate — it is the state of the demo data.
How it runs
Spend starts as a request or a card swipe — 34 requests are pending now, $95K, and 27 have waited past the 3-day SLA.
The agent auto-approves what the rules cover — under-$100, recurring vendor, receipt matched — 57% of reviewed volume, with the rules printed as chips.
Everything else goes to a human with its reason: amount over $250, first-time vendor, hard-block hit. 69 are waiting, $46K held.
Budgets extrapolate their own burn: on day 14, 17 project past their limits for $231K — the overshoot conversation happens while it can still change.
One record
These captures come from one demo workspace — Northline Systems — so the vendors and amounts here are the same ones the rest of the finance apps carry.
The line-level view of the same spend — receipts, policy flags and anomalies on the same merchants.
CEDX ProcurementWhere requests become purchase orders — and where off-contract buying shows up as maverick risk.
CEDX PayablesWhere approved spend settles — bills, approvals and the pay run on the same vendors.

Finding this out on the third call is worse for you than reading it here, and worse for us.

Questions
Yes. Every screenshot is a capture of the running build and you can open the same build at /app/spend. It runs on demo data.
What the rules cover, and the rules are chips on the screen: under the $100 cap, recurring vendor, receipt matched. Everything else escalates to a human with its reason printed — the 57% auto-approval rate is the demo book's outcome, not a promise.
Linear burn extrapolation, stated on the alert itself: day 14 of 31, current burn extended to month-end. 17 budgets project over for $231K, and two levers simulate that down to $141K.
Share of spend per vendor plus HHI — top-1 at 16.2%, top-3 at 36.6%, HHI 708 — with tiers from Preferred to Blocked and a diversifiable-dollar figure for the high band: $47K.
