Guided synthetic example
See the check from input to decision
A customer payment appears in the bank, but the amount recorded in the ledger is different.
This is the operating model we use at Level. The percentages are estimated shares of the work in a typical review. Actual effort varies with data quality, complexity, and the issue found.
1Start with the source records
About 15% of work| Source | Reference | Date | Amount |
|---|
| Bank | Deposit B-104 | Jul 8 | $12,480 |
| Ledger | Receipt L-221 | Jul 8 | $12,840 |
2Run the deterministic check
About 20% of workMatch reference, date, and amount. Flag any amount variance greater than $1.
3Surface the flagged result
About 10% of workNeeds review
$360 mismatch between the bank deposit and ledger receipt.
4Use recorded finance judgment to analyze possible reasons
About 25% of workAt Level, we record the review logic, known explanations, and questions our finance professionals use in this situation. AI applies that documented human judgment to organize the most plausible reasons, without pretending it knows which reason is true.
Possible reasons to investigate
The difference could be a posting error, processing fee, partial payment, or a transposed amount. The check cannot choose among them.
5Make the final human judgment
About 20% of workA Level finance professional validates the source evidence, challenges the AI-assisted analysis, and decides which explanation is supported.
Was a fee netted from the deposit?
Does the customer remittance support either amount?
Was another receipt combined into the bank deposit?
6Make the operating decision
About 10% of workInspect the deposit support and customer remittance before closing the account.
