Illustrative scenario · Mm + Fi
A procurement agent buying from suppliers
A US manufacturer that lets an AI agent reorder parts from approved suppliers.
Illustrative scenario. A fictional type of business, not a customer. No results are claimed.
The problem
The agent can find the best price, but finance won't hand it a corporate card. Every purchase needs a limit, a supplier list and a trail an auditor can follow.
Value anatomy
- 01 · transaction
The agent proposes an order. insimbi checks it against the mandate: supplier, amount, category.
- 02 · rails
An approved order is paid with a single-use card credential, or by bank transfer for suppliers that invoice.
- 03 · record
Each purchase is tied to the agent, the person it acts for and the mandate. Refunds and disputes go to the exception queue.
What it uses

| Payment intent preview | Check a request against the mandate before it runs. |
| Exception queue | Disputes, refunds and failed payouts in one list, each with its rule. |
| Audit log | Who changed what, when, and what it touched. |
