Software that moves money should not be able to move more than it was allowed to.
What you can do
- Let agents and automations initiate payments within a mandate the user set.
- Hold anything above the limit or to a new payee for a person to approve.
- Show a supervisor, for any payment, who authorised it and within what limit.
What you are saved from
- Payments that leave because a prompt or a document told the software to send them.
- Disputes where the only record is the operator's own database.
- Rebuilding evidence by hand when an incident has to be reported.
What it costs
Free to download and use, with nothing to sign up for. Paid work, such as a readiness review or a pilot in your own environment, is scoped to your case and priced as a fixed amount agreed before it starts. No subscription, no per-seat fee. Vaara is dual-licensed: free under the AGPL-3.0, or under a commercial licence when you build it into a product you ship closed, run a modified version as a service without publishing your changes, or your policy does not allow copyleft. Write to hello@vaara.io.
What it saves you
- Investigation time per disputed or reported payment.
- Losses from payments to payees nobody approved.
- Engineering work to make each automation auditable on its own.

Needs a person
Unusual or risky: it waits until a person says yes or no.
Refused
Against the rules: it never happens.
Receipt
Every one of the three leaves a signed record of what was decided and why.
