Review

The Review tab is everything waiting on a decision, in four sub-tabs. It is the tab you clear rather than the tab you read.

Approvals

Approvals

The proposal queue. A change is filed here, not applied: you approve or reject it, and until you do, nothing in the ledger has moved.

Anything that wants to change how a transaction is described goes through this queue, including the chat assistant. Registered change types:

Change type What it does
transaction.categorize files a transaction under a category
transaction.assign_payee names who a transaction was really with
transaction.tag / transaction.untag adds or removes a tag
transaction.split carves one purchase into category lines
recurring.match records which payment paid which bill

Related changes arrive as one batch: a single card with a per-row veto and an approve-all, rather than forty separate cards. A proposer can also withdraw its own still-pending card, so a mistake does not become your cleanup.

Money movement is not a change type, and is not planned as one. The queue changes how transactions are described, never what they are.

Adding a change type means adding an executor. One that is never imported does not exist to the queue, which keeps the registered set honest.

Uncategorized

Transactions with no category, or with one of the placeholder names a source app uses to mean it did not classify. Categorizing here is one click, and rules can pick up the pattern for next time.

No Payee

A transaction with no merchant is invisible to every payee-shaped question, and it cannot be matched to a bill. This sub-tab is that backlog.

Attention

The findings. A set of deterministic rules runs nightly and writes rows:

Rule Fires when
price_hike a fixed recurring charge went up
fee_charged a fee or interest charge hit an account
overspend_category a category is well above its recent norm
large_transaction one charge is far outside its account's norm
missed_recurring a mature bill's charge never showed up
card_overdue the institution reports a credit account past due
min_payment_gap a minimum payment due soon exceeds cash on hand
high_apr_carry a balance is accruing expensive interest
credit_utilization a card is close to its limit
cash_runway scheduled bills walk the balance below zero
subscription_creep the subscription total drifted above its norm

Two properties matter more than the list itself.

The rules are deterministic. Thresholds are constants tuned by test, not a config surface to fiddle with. The same data produces the same findings.

Nothing invents a finding. Everything that displays these rows consumes findings it did not make. A model can narrate an alert; it can never conjure one.

Findings dedupe, so the same alert is not regenerated every night, and they can be dismissed.
