When should AI stop asking?

You're Sam. You run a small studio with three regular freelancers, and an AI agent checks every invoice before it's paid. Act on each screen to move the story. At some point, the agent will ask to stop asking.

At first, every invoice waits for you.

Design notes

  1. Every check names whether it came from a rule or AI judgment, and rules come first. The person can see which kind they're relying on.

  2. The approval shows the real cancellation window through the bank's cutoff. Reversibility is represented as it actually exists, not as a generic undo.

  3. Nothing plays by itself. Approving the first invoice is the visitor's own act, before the agent asks for more authority.
