A per-transaction evidence ledger for AI bookkeeping vendors that records source, proposed treatment, reason code, model and policy versions, human review, destination readback, correction, and signed integrity receipt.

The case

AI bookkeeping systems can classify, code, match, reconcile, and post transactions, but a generic application log rarely answers what source supported a treatment, which model and policy proposed it, whether a human changed it, what reached the ledger, and how it was corrected. Research confirms a 2026 regulatory date and no direct per-transaction competitor. The product should store bounded reason summaries rather than hidden chain-of-thought, and a signed receipt must prove integrity only -- not accounting correctness, audit sufficiency, legal compliance, or survival of an inspection.

Who pays — and why

The product, controls, accounting, risk, or audit lead at an AI bookkeeping vendor or CPA firm consuming its evidence. The input does not establish scale, budget, or current logging cost.

What it unlocks
A transaction-level chain from source document to proposed accounting action, policy, review, exact write, ledger readback, correction, close, and later audit use.
Signed, append-only integrity evidence whose claim is deliberately narrower than accuracy, compliance, nonrepudiation, or legal admissibility.
Versioned jurisdiction and control tags that route review without letting software declare an accounting or regulatory conclusion.

8
Temporal window

A confirmed August 2, 2026 date creates a preparation window for governed systems.

8
Asymmetric leverage

Event capture, schemas, signing, tags, exports, and verification scale through software.

5
Convergence

Two cross-references and one inbound connection support a modest cluster.

Why it scored well

A confirmed August 2026 date, accounting-agent convergence, free signing infrastructure, and no direct competitor make the evidence layer timely and scalable.

What's holding it back

Two API references were unverified, the exact buyer is incomplete, legal and audit acceptance cannot be promised, and incumbents can add transaction-level logs.
