Task, assumptions and data use
  • Fictional training data. Complete March transaction exports for one cash account; no opening balances supplied.
  • Match one bank row to one ledger row only: equal signed cents, within three business days, consistent reference or description. Never force unequal amounts.
  • For repeated ledger check references with the same amount, retain the earliest dated entry as the match candidate and investigate the later entry as a possible duplicate.
  • Descriptions suggest explanations, not authority to post. No invoices, deposit support, fee authorization or subsequent bank statement are supplied. Keep unresolved items open.
  • Uncleared checks stay open pending subsequent-statement evidence. Do not book the same check again.
  • The exercise sends only the supplied fictional fixture through a Cloud Function to Anthropic. Temporary results and browser/network quota hashes are stored server-side for 24–48 hours. Reviews and grading stay in this browser; analytics use categories and counts. This is separate from generated-plan storage.
  • No uploads or prompt entry. All outputs are drafts, and this exercise posts nothing.
