Datamonster repo-derived operational guidance

What the repo actually contains

This is a finance-operations system with a document core, not a generic dashboard.

The codebase revolves around five document families, business-scoped access control, two-step approval, ready-for-payment queues, AI-assisted querying, and accounting structures linked into line items.

That is why the content architecture below is organized around operational journeys instead of superficial feature marketing.
