A public-data stress test

1.3 million contracts.
No inflated recovery claim.

Fun fact: we ran Factriva's deterministic contract checks across the complete Government of Canada proactive-publication file. The data mapped without configuration, every row was processed, and a repeat run produced the same output.

The result we care about most: contract growth was surfaced for review but contributed $0.00 to Total Exposure. An authorised amendment can deserve attention without being money a buyer can recover.

Why it keeps happening

Three failures.
One root cause.

Every billing violation that survives to audit is a symptom of the same structural gap.

01 / 03
The Audit Lag
Annual audits find issues that have been accumulating for months. By the time recovery begins, the pattern has repeated across hundreds of invoices. The audit finds it. The same contractor does it again next cycle.
Violation detected: too late
02 / 03
The Evidence Hunt
Building a defensible case requires manually assembling rate cards, timesheets, badge records, contract clauses, and correspondence across systems that don't talk. Most CA teams spend more time gathering proof than pursuing recovery.
Recovery stalls before it starts
03 / 03
The Recurrence Trap
No system connects an audit finding back to a live detection rule. The knowledge lives in the report, the report lives in a shared drive, and the same pattern surfaces 12 months later. Audit knowledge dies. Violations persist.
The root cause of the root cause
The Platform

Detect. Prove. Prevent.

Factriva brings together the invoice, contract, and operational evidence your team already has, then applies repeatable checks without replacing the systems that hold it.

01
Detect
Every invoice, before approval
Overtime violations, attendance gaps, rate card deviations, union policy breaches, and markup cap overruns flagged at submission, before they're paid, before they accumulate.
02
Prove
Evidence assembled automatically
Each flagged invoice arrives with the specific evidence: the contract clause, the approved timesheet, the badge log, the rate card. The analyst starts a conversation, not a document hunt.
Every contract (15+ pages, unstructured, scanned or native PDF) is parsed with per-field confidence scoring. Low-confidence extractions route to human review instead of failing silently, because audit credibility depends on ingestion accuracy first.
03
Prevent
Audit findings become detection rules
Every pattern your prior audit identified is encoded as a live rule running against every new invoice. Violations that recurred annually stop recurring.
What Factriva catches

Seven patterns.
Your auditors know them all.

These fill Commercial Assurance audit reports year after year. Factriva flags every one before the invoice is approved.

The Audit-to-Detection Loop

"Give us your last audit report.
The same issue never makes it to audit again."
  • Your auditors already found the issues. Factriva ensures they can't recur.
  • Detection rules are built from your own audit history, not generic heuristics.
  • Precision compounds with every audit cycle fed into the system.
  • The work your CA team does today makes the platform sharper tomorrow.

Platform Capabilities

Seven modules.
One integrated view.

Invoice Validation Queue
Every invoice scored and flagged before it reaches the CA team.
APPROVED INVOICED
Contract Rate Compliance
Rate deviations surfaced against the specific clause, per line.
BAD TS INV
MyTrack Reconciliation
Badge swipe vs. contractual paid-time-start vs. invoice. A 7:30 swipe with an 8:00 paid start pays for 8:00, every time.
Union Compliance Engine
CBA clauses matched against invoiced items. Ineligible premiums caught automatically.
Audit-to-Detection Dashboard
Prior findings alongside live detection status: the loop, visible.
!
Prompt Pay Tracker
Legal dispute window countdowns by invoice. Never miss a deadline.
Audit Test Catalogue
Direct Labour and Indirect Labour audit tests, each with purpose, data sources, business rules, and expected output, aligned to Galvanize's standard test library.
