The reliable spine
The non-AI spine is the source-linked workflow: clean records, rules, calculations, integrations, exception queues, approvals and reporting for Franchise royalty and centre reconciliation.

Franchise royalty and centre reconciliation
For a franchised preschool or tuition brand, the hardest monthly job is working out what each centre actually collected and what it owes in royalty, and centres rarely report cleanly, so the royalty is a number typed into an email and the month-end argument is permanent. Under-reported collections and disputed royalty leak real money every cycle. Gateway settlements, failed and retried payments, refunds, chargebacks and partial captures must tie back to the subscription or fee ledger, and tying them by hand is heroic and late, so short-settlements, failed renewals counted as paid, and missed refunds slip through unnoticed.
Who has it
Coaching and test-prep institutes, where the franchised coaching or preschool brand is the core case and this is the signature build, EdTech and online-course platforms with a recurring-payment stack, and any institute taking a high volume of online fee payments.
What we build
Each centre's collection tied into the same fee ledger, so the royalty owed is computed off the actual collection, not a self-reported figure, returning a clean break list where a centre's report disagrees with its collection. Every royalty settlement is reviewed and signed by a person. Automatic matching of the payment-gateway settlement against the subscription or fee ledger, returning a clean break list: settled-vs-expected, failed-and-retried, refunds and chargebacks, with the recurring-revenue position kept honest.
What is automated, where AI helps, who signs off
Automation for the routine. A person on every decision that matters.
Where AI helps
AI is limited to bounded reading, extraction, matching, clustering or drafting from the firm's own data for Franchise royalty and centre reconciliation; it never owns the number, the approval, the promise or the decision.
Who signs off
A named person signs off anything touching money, stock, a customer promise, a regulated filing, a payment, a price, a credit decision or a people decision.
What changes day to day
Royalty is computed off real collection; the end-of-month argument ends; under-reporting surfaces with a line-level trail; settlements have a record and a signer. Reconciliation runs on demand instead of a month-end scramble; short-settlements and failed renewals surface in days; the recurring-revenue number is trustworthy.
Illustrative outcome
Recovered royalty on under-reported centre collections, all traced to the ledger. Recovered short-settlements and a clean, trusted revenue position.
Illustrative; final numbers come from your own data.
