Contracts: the ledger and the record

Two colleagues, one feature, fifteen minutes. George hosts, Sofia brings ten years of sourcing. Every agreement one line, with the signed paper attached, built by reading documents rather than typing rows. Recorded August 2026.

The first two minutes play for everyone. The full episode is available on request with a work email.

What this episode covers

The ledger is the estate's system of record: dense rows, honest filters, and the actual document behind every claim. The record page collects the whole story of one agreement, files, terms, dates, status, activity.

Live: walking the ledger, one record answering finance's questions, and slicing the estate with filters. Plus the three week audit hunt Sofia never wants to repeat.
