    ### From connection to verified outcome

    The controlled sequence every capability follows. Nothing changes a connected system without the approval step.

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Connect">
        Authorise the source. Scopes are shown before access is granted.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Monitor">
        Watch the signals against your own baselines, not universal defaults.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Detect">
        Run checks and gather evidence specific to your store.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Recommend">
        Explain what happened, why it matters and the proposed action.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Approve">
        You review scope, risk and reversibility before anything changes.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Execute">
        Apply through governed connector operations.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Verify">
        Confirm the intended result and keep the receipt.
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    No changes are made without the configured approval policy. Read-only operations do not modify the connected system; schedules, access scopes, API usage and data handling remain governed by Vortex IQ controls.

    ### Monitor performance

    13 performance signals. Open an outcome to see its signals and how each one alerts. Read-only operations do not modify the connected system.

    ### Audit risks and opportunities

    A fix status appears only where the action, inputs, approval, verification and recovery controls are mapped. Candidate remediations are never executable. Open a check for the detail.

    <AccordionGroup>
      <Accordion title="AR aging on 60+ day buckets above threshold">
        **Severity** high · **Outcome** Run operations · **Fix status** Report only

        More than 15% of receivables are sitting in the 60+ day bucket. The longer an invoice goes unpaid, the less likely it is ever collected in full, so this is not just a cash-flow timing issue, a growing 60+ day bucket is a leading indicator of bad debt building up.

        Vortex IQ detects and explains this; resolution is manual, with evidence and recommended steps.

        Reference: `ERP-FIN-001`
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="ERP-vs-ecom inventory variance > 5% on SKUs with active orders">
        **Severity** high · **Outcome** Protect revenue · **Fix status** Candidate remediation

        Stock levels disagree between the ERP and the storefront by more than 5% on SKUs that currently have active orders. That gap risks selling inventory that is not really there (an oversell) or holding stock back that is actually available, on exactly the products customers are ordering right now.

        A likely corrective operation exists, but its mapping and recovery are not yet complete, so execution is not offered. Evidence and recommended manual steps are provided.

        Reference: `ERP-INV-001`
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Period close past deadline">
        **Severity** high · **Outcome** Run operations · **Fix status** Report only

        The accounting period is more than 5 days past its close deadline and still open. Every day it stays open is another day transactions can still be edited or added to a period that reporting, tax filing and any lender or investor reporting expects to be final.

        Vortex IQ detects and explains this; resolution is manual, with evidence and recommended steps.

        Reference: `ERP-CLOSE-001`
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Unposted journal entries >50 (GL hygiene)">
        **Severity** high · **Outcome** Run operations · **Fix status** Report only

        More than 50 journal entries are sitting unposted. Every report pulled from the general ledger while this backlog exists, profitability, cash position, tax figures, is working from incomplete books, and the larger the backlog grows the harder it gets to reconcile at period close.

        Vortex IQ detects and explains this; resolution is manual, with evidence and recommended steps.

        Reference: `ERP-GL-001`
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Ecom customers absent from ERP customer master after 7d">
        **Severity** medium · **Outcome** Run operations · **Fix status** Candidate remediation

        Customers who ordered over a week ago still are not in the ERP's customer master. Anything downstream that depends on that record, invoicing, tax reporting, credit terms, customer-level reporting, is working with an incomplete customer base until this syncs.

        A likely corrective operation exists, but its mapping and recovery are not yet complete, so execution is not offered. Evidence and recommended manual steps are provided.
