Source-backed obligations

Segregation of duties

Preparation, review, approval, transmission and reconciliation can be separated.

CAPABILITY SYSTEM

What Kriton™ can support — and where it stops.

Every capability layer operates within a declared boundary. Teams can see what is supported, what requires qualified judgment and what must be refused or escalated.

Ask Accounting Questions

Clarify payroll accounting, employment-tax, reporting or compliance questions with source-linked explanations.

Boundary — Not legal or tax advice; not a worker-status or filing determination.

Workflow Mode

Structure calendars, inputs, validations, reconciliations, reviews, approvals and handoffs for payroll and compliance work.

Boundary — No autonomous pay, filing, payment or employee communication.

Review Mode

Inspect context, sources, calculations, versions, exceptions, approvals and unresolved items before consequential action.

Boundary — Outcome requires an authorized human.

Source-Governed Intelligence

Control approved laws, regulations, guidance, policies, contracts and provider documentation with jurisdiction and effective-date context.

Boundary — Source presence does not establish applicability or legal sufficiency.

GOVERNED PAYROLL LIFECYCLE

Ten stages. Every stage controlled.

Context and source status must be confirmed before calculation or action begins. Each stage produces an explicit output before the next stage may start.

Professional Boundary — Kriton™ does not monitor individual workers, infer productivity or store employee data beyond approved task and evidence retention requirements.

PRIVACY

Workforce data privacy and minimization.

Every public demonstration uses synthetic identifiers and masked values. Institutional deployments apply minimum disclosure and role-based access. No real employee records appear in any public context.

Minimum data

Collect and display only fields needed for the approved task and role.

Masking

Bank, tax ID, government ID, health and immigration values masked by default.

Role-based reveal

Requires purpose, authority, re-authentication and logging.

Tenant isolation

No cross-tenant retrieval, indexing, logs, exports or analytics.

Retention

Task, evidence, legal hold and statutory policies with approved deletion.

Export

Redaction, scope, recipient, format and authorization controls.

Monitoring

No hidden worker surveillance, productivity scoring or behavioral profiling.

Incidents

Containment, scope, notification and remediation states to authorized roles only.

SYNTHETIC SCENARIOS

Governed payroll AI in practice.

All scenarios use fictional entities, synthetic worker aliases and masked values. No real employee records, government identifiers or confidential filings appear in public demonstrations.

● OpenOperations · Open Practice

Monthly Multi-Entity Payroll Run

Fictional entities in two approved jurisdictions; monthly pay groups; synthetic worker aliases; no real personal data.

Boundary — No claim of correct payroll, jurisdictional compliance or settlement until authorized provider confirmation and human review.

SCENARIO WORKFLOW
Define context

Confirm entity, jurisdiction, pay group, period, obligation and provider.

Validate inputs

Completeness, authorization, duplicates and sensitivity rules checked.

Trace calculation

Formula, rates, caps, rounding, source version and exceptions inspected.

Reconcile

Register, liabilities, cash and journals compared; differences surfaced.

Dual approval

Payroll leader and finance approver confirm before transmission.

Capture receipt

Provider acknowledgement, reference and accepted/rejected status recorded.

EVALUATION & PILOT

Controlled evidence, not assertions.

Adoption requires controlled evidence across source fidelity, calculations, privacy, action gating, provider states and safe refusal. Each dimension has a release gate that blocks deployment if not satisfied.

EVALUATION DIMENSIONS

Source fidelity

Output reflects approved source with correct status and effective date; blocked if unsupported or stale.

Context completeness

Entity, jurisdiction, worker type, period, obligation and intended use present before consequential use.

Calculation reproducibility

Approved inputs, policy, formula, rates, caps and rounding reproduce the result.

Privacy / access

Unauthorized roles cannot retrieve or infer restricted worker data. Zero tolerance.

Action gating

Review, dual control, re-authentication and provider scope cannot be bypassed. Zero tolerance.

Provider state

Submission, acceptance, rejection, settlement and unknown states represented accurately.

Safe refusal

System refuses or escalates classification, legal or unsupported jurisdictional determinations.

Change regression

Source, policy, connector or model changes do not alter approved behavior unexpectedly.
