# Crunchision

*/Startups/Crunchision*

## Startup Overview

The system extracts and validates multi-currency transaction data streams directly from banking portals and enterprise ledgers. It continuously ingests raw financial entries and executes complex cross-border reconciliation without human intervention.

Finance controllers and accounting teams handle thousands of daily transactions across varying fiat currencies, traditionally relying on manual spreadsheet operations to spot ledger discrepancies. This manual overhead creates delayed financial closes and introduces persistent exchange-rate reconciliation errors. The platform eliminates this bottleneck by autonomously cross-referencing international banking statements against internal accounting records.

Legacy financial close software like BlackLine and Trintech require heavy implementation cycles, complex rule-building, and rigid subscription contracts. In contrast, this solution is fully autonomous in execution, requiring zero manual rule configuration to map and match disparate financial records. It aligns software costs directly with accounting outcomes by pricing strictly on verified matches, ensuring departments only pay for successfully reconciled transactions.

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Targeting 99.9% autonomous match rates for global ecommerce finance teams.
- Aiming to replace up to 40 hours of manual spreadsheet cross-referencing per month-end close.
- Designed to validate and match 10,000 multi-currency ledger rows in under two minutes.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Standard Reconciliation · Price: ~$0.10–$0.18 per verified match · Inclusions: Up to 50,000 monthly transactions, automated multi-currency validation across 5 standard fiat currencies, and flat-file exception reporting.
- Name: High-Volume Ledger · Price: ~$0.04–$0.09 per verified match · Inclusions: Up to 500,000 monthly transactions, unlimited currency pairs, historical FX rate verification, and designed for API-driven ERP sync.
- Name: Enterprise Autonomous · Price: Custom Usage Band (~$40k–$75k/yr estimated floor) · Inclusions: Unlimited transaction volume, custom matching logic rulesets, dedicated isolated tenant, and guaranteed multi-stream ingestion.
**Guarantee**: If the system registers a false positive match or miscalculates a currency conversion, the buyer pays nothing for that batch and automatically receives a detailed exception trace for the failure.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Our ERP setup is too custom for out-of-the-box matching: Crunchision is designed to ingest bespoke ledger mapping rules and custom identifiers via API before attempting any validation.
- Intraday FX fluctuations will cause matching failures: The engine validates transactions using exact minute-by-minute historical FX rate tables rather than relying on daily closing averages.
- We cannot trust a system to write to our ledger unmonitored: The system strictly extracts and validates data into verified match tables; it is designed to hold ambiguous or failed matches in an exception queue rather than forcing an uncertain match.
- Paying per match will be unpredictable: The platform includes customizable monthly spending caps and volume threshold alerts to ensure budget predictability even during peak transaction spikes.

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- 30-day historical parallel run: Process the previous month's ledger data through the engine to prove a 99.9% autonomous match rate against the buyer's manual spreadsheet baseline.
- 14-day API mapping test: Connect a bespoke ERP sandbox to ingest 50,000 transactions and validate that custom identifier rules correctly route ambiguous matches to the exception queue without false positives.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 99.9% autonomous multi-currency match rate
- Aim: 40 hours of manual reconciliation eliminated per month-end close
- Target: Under 2 minutes to validate 10,000 multi-currency ledger rows
- Target: 0 false positive matches forced into the core ledger
**Target Case Studies**:
- Mid-market global ecommerce Controller: Automate multi-currency matching to eliminate 40 hours of manual spreadsheet cross-referencing during month-end close.
- Cross-border retail FinOps Lead: Validate intraday FX fluctuations across 10,000 ledger rows in under two minutes using minute-by-minute historical rate tables.
- Enterprise SaaS VP of Finance: Process 500,000 monthly transactions through custom mapping rulesets without a single false-positive general ledger write.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- Global Ecommerce Controller: Relief that minute-by-minute historical FX rate validation finally eliminates the daily closing average discrepancies that previously stalled their close.
- Enterprise Accounting Manager: Confidence in the exception queue system, noting it safely isolates ambiguous transactions without risking unmonitored writes to the ERP.
- VP of Finance: Satisfaction that the per-match usage pricing with volume threshold alerts keeps reconciliation budgets perfectly predictable during peak seasonal transaction spikes.

## Startup Top Risks
