Execution
Execution Gateway
Every command — a payment, a sweep, a draw, an allocation — enters the same pipeline. Validation, policy, envelope, approval, simulation, execution, verification. There is no side door.
Financial kill switch
Disarmed · autonomous execution operating within envelopes
- All autonomous execution stops immediately
- Queued commands are frozen in place rather than cancelled
- In-flight settlements are recorded and flagged for manual verification
- Read, analysis and forecasting remain fully available
- Re-enabling requires explicit human confirmation and is written to the audit log
