WHAT REDOWL CATCHES

Leakage hides in the clauses
no one has time to read.

Rates above contract

Day rates, unit prices and schedules checked line by line.

Tiers and volume discounts

Thresholds crossed, discounts never applied.

Rebates and earn-backs

Money you are owed, claimed on time.

Indexation above cap

CPI and escalation clauses held to their limits.

Off-contract charges

Fees and items your agreement never allowed.

Billed, not delivered

Invoices that outrun timesheets, receipts and job sheets.

Three records. One payment.

Brought together, the gap is obvious.

01 / 04

The contract

Schedule 2, §4.1 fixes the engineer day rate at $95 an hour for the term.

02 / 04

The invoice

INV-20418, line 6. Twenty-four hours, charged at $108.

03 / 04

The evidence

Approved timesheets for week 32 confirm twenty-four hours. The work happened. The rate did not.

04 / 04

The finding

$312 at risk. Approve at the contracted rate and request a credit. Before payment, not after audit.

Your clauses, interpreted

Read like an analyst.
Confirmed by your team.

RedOwl turns each commercial clause into a plain-language obligation with a confidence score and a link to the exact passage. Your reviewers see the interpretation beside the original, lowest confidence first. Nothing is enforced until the whole contract is marked ready.

Approval stays humanNo finding makes an invoice unapprovable. It makes it accountable.

FAQ

What does RedOwl compare an invoice against?

The contract and its amendments, the rate card, the purchase order, and evidence of delivery such as timesheets, receipts and job sheets.

Who decides what gets paid?

Your team. RedOwl raises, quantifies and evidences the exception. Approval is never taken away.

Can we start with past invoices?

How much value is leaking?

Find the difference before you pay it.
