Built to be trusted
Nothing without ApproveEvery email it sends and every change in FACTS waits on a card that a person presses. Hermes can't press it.
ARCC's own systemsMail goes through ARCC's mail sorter and sender, and FACTS changes through its one FACTS writer, as the person who approved.
Numbers from the dataFigures in its cards and tables come straight from the records it read. It never types them.
Your own Claude accountEach buyer connects their own seat once. Hermes never sees the sign-in.
Every step loggedEach step it took, and each approval and who gave it, is on the record.
Procurement onlyBuilt for buying and nothing else. Supplier text is treated as data, never as instructions.
