Name the core abstraction and its failure modes.
OpenIBank Course
Reconciliation and ledger evidence
How Hermon Finance can help compare ledgers, statements, and attestations while preserving auditability.
Learning Objectives
What this lesson should make precise
Translate the concept into a Maple/Hermon proposal contract.
Define at least one evaluation case that can fail the model safely.
Tutorial Flow
How this lesson becomes a demo and training target
Each tutorial is written as a user education path and a model-improvement artifact. The diagram shows how the idea moves into a lab, a typed contract, an eval gate, and then a Hermon/MapleAI demo route.
Concept

Output Contract

Eval Gate
Does the answer separate model proposal from deterministic execution?
Demo Route
OpenIBank training and public model checks
01
Matching rules
Reconciliation should use deterministic matching rules wherever possible. The model can explain exceptions and propose next checks, not silently alter records.
- Exact match first.
- Tolerance policy.
- Exception queue.
02
Evidence handling
The output should name source documents by ID or hash, not copy sensitive raw records into public or model-visible fields.
- Use hashes.
- Minimize PII.
- Separate evidence store.
03
Rollback and no-action
If reconciliation is uncertain, the safe state is no action plus review. Rollback means undoing a proposed classification, not rewriting history.
- No silent correction.
- No write scope.
- Review unresolved differences.
Lab
Applied lab: Reconciliation and ledger evidence
Prepare a reconciliation exception packet for mismatched reserve records with evidence hashes and a no-action default.
Expected result
- A typed JSON-style proposal rather than free-form advice.
- Clear authority boundaries and denied operations.
- A test or rubric that decides whether the proposal is deployable.
Evaluation
How Maple would grade this work
Rubric
- Does the answer expose assumptions instead of hiding them?
- Does the answer separate model proposal from deterministic execution?
- Does the answer produce artifacts that can be tested, reviewed, and rolled back?
Output contract
matching_rules, exceptions, evidence_hashes, review_queue, no_action_stateUse this lesson as training direction
A strong lesson gives users a mental model and gives Hermon a sharper target for examples, probes, and demo prompts.
