Anomalies are surfaced on the [Bookkeeping Command Center](https://intubu.intuitivecapital-dai.com/docs/command-center) and on Settings → Exceptions.

**What is looked for:**
- **Duplicates** — same vendor, amount and near date; the most common real error in a set of books.
- **Amount outliers** — a payment far outside the range that vendor normally receives.
- **Unusual timing** — a weekend or holiday posting for a business that never posts then.
- **New payees** — a first-time vendor receiving a significant amount.
- **Round numbers** in accounts that never see them.
- **Sequence gaps** — a missing cheque or invoice number.

**Each flag says why**, in figures: *"$4,820 — this vendor's payments have ranged $180–$640 across 31 prior bills."* You are being given evidence to judge, not a verdict to accept.

**Dismissing** one teaches the system. See [What the AI has learned](https://intubu.intuitivecapital-dai.com/docs/workflow-memory).
