01How it works

From your data files to recovered funds.

Sticker pairs detection software with experienced audit judgment. This page walks through a full engagement, and explains why first findings arrive in weeks rather than quarters.

02What we need from you

The files your team already knows how to produce.

If you already work with a recovery audit firm, your team produces these extracts today. We accept the same formats, which reduces onboarding from months to days. Our systems map any export format within hours.

01
Invoice history
12–24 months of AP detail
02
Payment history
what cleared, when, against what
03
Vendor master
the supplier list and terms of record
04
PO & receiving
what was ordered and what arrived
05
Supplier statements
the other side's view of the account
06
Contracts & correspondence
where commercial terms actually live
03Three-tier detection

Detection runs in three tiers, from simple arithmetic to the terms of your contracts.

01
The floor

Arithmetic

Duplicate payments, overpayments, and unapplied credits.

These are the errors a ledger can prove on its own. Every audit begins here.

Mature
02
The middle

Reconciliation

Supplier statements matched to your ledger, and invoice pricing checked line by line against contracted rates.

This tier surfaces credits you have held for years without knowing, along with gradual price creep.

Credits hide here
03
The ceiling

Unstructured terms

Rebate schedules in PDFs, allowances agreed over email, and price-protection clauses in master agreements.

Language models read these documents and enforce their terms against every invoice paid. The largest recoveries come from this tier, which until recently required veteran auditors.

04The output

Documented claims, not a spreadsheet of suspicions.

Each claim is a complete evidence package, routed through your own approval workflow and recovered as supplier credits or refunds. Anything our systems cannot read with confidence is flagged for review and never included in a claim.

05The timeline

First findings in weeks, not quarters.

Week 0

Data request

We request the same extracts your team already produces for audit purposes.

Week 1

Ingest & map

Our systems map every file automatically. No integration project is required.

Weeks 2–4

Detection

All three tiers run across 12–24 months of payment history.

Week 4

First read-out

Documented claims are presented for your review and approval.

Ongoing

Recovery

Approved claims clear as credits and refunds, and continuous monitoring begins.

06Continuous integrity

The audit recovers the past. Monitoring protects the future.

Every claim shows precisely where a control failed. Continuous monitoring closes the gap. We audit every invoice before and after payment, and we maintain a live record of every entitlement you hold, from rebate tiers and price protections to service credits and payment terms, enforced automatically against what suppliers actually bill.

07One thing we never do

We never ask you to replace your current auditor.

Large companies already engage primary and secondary audit firms, because no single review catches everything. Sticker works behind them, auditing what earlier passes missed. If we find nothing, there is no fee.
