Business Problem & Solution

Every booking moves money, and every partner is owed a payout net of commission and tax. Payments & Partner Settlements is the ecosystem's accounting surface: it records a capture per booking and rolls captures into weekly partner settlements — gross, commission, tax, net payout — that an owner approves or holds. It is the one place money is reconciled, and it is the place to be loud about honesty.

It proves the settlement arithmetic and the approve/hold lifecycle end-to-end, reconciled against the same shared bookings the rest of the ecosystem uses. Every monetary action is simulated and clearly labelled — there is no real payment processor, no real bank, no real payout. Each capture carries a simulated marker; the payout confirmation is an in-app notification, not a real message.
