01Pipeline

Base pipeline

Ordered steps. Each consumes the previous output; review gates hold until a person accepts.

Starts from
Batch jobs, pricing rules and available budget
Delivers
Human-confirmed bill or unresolved discrepancies

Review contract

People decide at review gates; components supply data, drafts or review surfaces. Unaccepted outputs do not advance.

Integration note

Pricing semantics differ; choose one billing owner and retain unpriced items to prevent duplicate debits.
