The check

  1. Read the invoice

  4. Check the GST adds up
  5. Look at what it was for
  6. Press the button to run the checks.

The model reads it

It pulls out the supplier, ABN, dates and figures, and says what each line is: a repair, a meal, a laptop, a year of software.

Plain code checks it

The tax invoice rules, the ABN register and the GST sums are code, not the model. Every finding says what it was based on.

Nothing is kept

The invoice and the answer are discarded once you see them. Tax file numbers are removed before the model reads anything.
