The problem
Small business bookkeeping runs on paper that never stops arriving: receipts in inboxes and glove compartments, invoices in three formats, a bank feed nobody reconciles until tax season. Categorizing it all by hand is hours every month, and the errors compound silently until an accountant finds them in April. Books are either current and trusted, or they are neither.
The interesting engineering problem isn't reading a receipt with AI. It's keeping books your accountant can verify.
THE DESIGN RULE
No entry reaches the ledger without a traceable path back to the document that created it. AI does the bookkeeping; you stay able to audit it.
WHAT THE PLATFORM DOES
Reads the paperwork for you
Forward the receipts, snap the invoices, connect the bank. The platform reads every line, so the books build themselves as the month happens.

FIG. 02 · THE REVIEW QUEUE · FLAGS WITH EVIDENCE · DEMO COMPANY, SAMPLE DATA
How it's engineered
Provenance-first ledger. Every entry carries its origin: which document, which line, which extraction run. The same architecture Megsoft proved in XCreos, applied to the books.
AI where it pays, rules where it counts. Language models read the paperwork; deterministic double-entry validation guards the ledger. The AI never gets to invent an entry.
Flags, not silent fixes. Anything ambiguous goes to a review queue with the evidence attached. The books never change without a person being able to see why.
Where it stands
MicroBooks is in development at Megsoft, taking the provenance discipline behind XCreos to the books every small business has to keep. The goal is books that are always current, always reconciled to the bank, and always auditable, without the owner spending their evenings on them.
