## The Revenue Automation Architecture

GAAPx acts as the intelligent revenue subledger between your **Customer Relationship Management (CRM) / Billing systems** and your **General Ledger (GL)**.

## Core System Components

| Component | Responsibility | Technical Implementation |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Contract Ingestion Engine** | Ingests PDF, DOCX, and CRM opportunities, extracting clauses, billing schedules, and terms. | Vision & NLP OCR + LLM structured validation |
| **ASC 606 Rule Engine** | Enforces 5-step revenue accounting, Standalone Selling Price (SSP) allocations, and carve-outs. | Deterministic multi-entity allocation algorithms |
| **Revenue Waterfall Ledger** | Calculates monthly/quarterly recognized revenue, unbilled receivables, and contract liabilities. | Immutable event-driven amortization schedule |
| **Disclosure & Close Generator**| Produces SEC-compliant ASC 606 Note 6 Footnote tables and period-end journal entries. | Automated aggregation with GAAP/IFRS toggles |
| **Developer & Agent Layer** | Exposes live financial tools and query endpoints to AI agents and external scripts. | REST API (`/api/v1/*`) & Model Context Protocol (MCP) |

## Multi-Entity & Multi-Tenant Hierarchy

GAAPx is architected for complex corporate structures with multi-entity support:

- **Tenant / Organization**: The master administrative account (e.g., Enterprise Holding Group).
- **Legal Entities**: Distinct legal operating subsidiaries (e.g., *GAAPx Inc. [US]*, *GAAPx EMEA Ltd. [UK]*), each maintaining its own:
  - Functional Currency (USD, EUR, GBP)
  - Accounting Calendar & Period Locks
  - Chart of Accounts Mapping & ERP Connection
- **Workspaces & Projects**: Isolated reporting spaces for quarterly audits, scenario modeling, and M&A due diligence.
