Field notes
The page separates the AI’s working server from a control service that governs spending and checks incoming payments. Its ledger is designed to count eligible Stripe customer settlements, show fees, refunds, and net effects, exclude owner-funded test payments, and keep currencies separate rather than inventing exchange rates. It also tracks outreach counts without displaying personal data; at capture, the financial meter is awaiting data and no verified customer revenue is reported.
