How the roll-up gate works
This tool grades a batch of invoice records against fixed field, format, and cross-field rules. It reads 5 records and rolls them into one verdict — the worst, never the average — then a gate that can only make it worse.
The 5 records
A record failing any critical rule - missing invoice number, vendor, or total, or math that doesn't tie - is REJECT regardless of its score, and one REJECT blocks the whole batch.
Why: Five invoices, twelve rules each. Two pass clean and one has only soft formatting misses (REVIEW), but two fail a critical rule outright - INV-00003's subtotal + tax doesn't tie to its total, and INV-00004 is missing a total. Either alone rejects the record and blocks the batch, even though the average validity across all five is 88%.
No single record is the crisis — the clustering is. The roll-up takes the worst, the gate escalates when trouble compounds, and it names the one thing to fix first. Grades a document's fields against fixed rules; connects to nothing, moves no money, and approves no payment. Not accounting or legal advice.
