What Broker Lens does
Every check it runs, and every way it can process a document — all in one place.
What it checks
Each check is a rule, not a judgement. When one fires, it names itself, so you can disagree with it on the spot.
- Units × rate against the amount
- Every earnings row that prints a quantity and a rate is resolved and compared.
- Year-to-date consistency
- YTD figures are reconciled against the period they claim to accumulate.
- Pay period continuity
- Gaps and overlaps between periods across two payslips.
- PAYG against Schedule 1
- Withholding compared to the ATO scale for the stated period and residency.
- Superannuation against OTE
- Contributions compared to ordinary time earnings, not to gross.
- Document date validity
- Whether the document is current enough for the purpose it is being used for.
- Balance continuity
- Statement rows reconciled against the statement's own declared totals.
- Recurring series
- Same-direction transactions on a stable cadence, surfaced as a debt signal.
