Approved is not the same as verified.
The contractor uploads every estimation — the service record, the HES, the period's progress — with its evidence. Vigía Legal puts it in front of the facilitator with the mandatory checklist, the same service's history in view, and flags that surface whatever deserves a second look: an amount out of pattern, a reused photo. The payment is gated on the record being in order, and every approval is recorded.
The record says it's done. At what price?
Most estimations get approved against a contract that lives in another folder, and without seeing what was already billed for the same service. An advance charged twice, an inflated line item or a unit price that went up without explanation slip through — not for lack of judgment, but because whoever approves doesn't have the pattern in front of them.
And the evidence is rarely compared: reusing a previous period's photo to justify the new one is easy, and by hand it's nearly undetectable. The overrun and the reuse surface late, in the reconciliation — once the payment is already out.
Every input to the decision, in one view.
Estimation in context
Purchase order and line item, period and contract in one view, with this estimation's amount set against what was contracted, previously billed and accrued for the service.
Unit-price breakdown
Concept, unit, quantity and unit price for this estimation and for the last approved ones of the same service — to compare line by line, not just the total.
Amount-out-of-pattern flag
When the estimation exceeds the service's history above a configurable threshold, the system marks it for review. It's a heads-up, not a stop.
Reused-evidence flag
The system compares the progress photos with those already uploaded for the same service and flags the similar ones, with the reference to which. The comparison can be reinforced with vision models.
It flags, it doesn't block. The facilitator decides.
The flags are advisory: they surface the context and mark what's doubtful, they never stop the approval. What does gate it is the mandatory checklist — until it's complete, the record can't be approved. And the payment is gated on the record being in order; a rejection returns it to the contractor with the reason documented. Every step is in the audit log, with owner and date. The system flags; your team decides.
