Everything to evaluate, roll out, and operate outflow control.
Guides explain the category. Playbooks walk a role through a rollout. Comparisons place Axiru next to the alternatives you are weighing. Reference docs are the full library for power users, engineers, and procurement reviewers.
How a self-serve evaluation works
No sales call required. See value before you commit to anything.
Connect Stripe read-only or upload a CSV of your last 90 days. No enforcement, no risk. Works for human rep decisions, AI agent decisions, and automated workflow decisions.
See which refunds would be blocked, which would route to approval, and the total dollar figure, evaluated against the policy you should have been running.
Inspect individual decisions, policy basis, and projected leakage prevented.
Enable enforcement only when you are ready. Shadow mode remains available indefinitely. The same policy governs all sources when you flip to live.
Read-only Stripe connection. No enforcement until you enable it.
Explain the category
Evergreen explainers on outflow control, AI agent governance, SOX/ICFR refund controls, and shadow mode.
A Morse code message moved $174,000. What would have stopped it, and what would not.
In May 2026 an attacker posted a Morse code message on X. An AI agent decoded it, a second agent treated the decoded text as an authenticated instruction, and roughly $174,000 in tokens left a verified wallet. No contract bug, no stolen key. A walkthrough of the failure, and an honest account of which controls would have caught it.

We took the spend gate from meridian-company-os, the repo behind the viral Company OS guide, and wired it to a production decision engine. Same inbox, same UX, one change: a spend approval only lands after an external policy engine says yes.

The GENIUS Act's statutory rulemaking deadline passed on July 18, 2026 with no final package, and the open comment periods run into late August. How to govern agent and stablecoin spend now, so that whatever text finally lands, you can show which policy version governed each transaction.
Read guide →Guide · 6 minx402 pre-authorization, explained: signed tokens before agent money moves
x402 removes the human from the payment loop by design. Pre-authorization puts a policy decision back in: the agent's payment becomes an intent, the engine evaluates it, and a signed, single-use, scope-bound token is the only thing that lets money move. No token, no payment.

Role-specific rollout plans. Each is a multi-day path from where most teams start to where they need to be.
Controller's playbook: SOX-ready outflow controls in five working days
A five-day rollout for a controller scoping refund and payout controls into a SOX program for the first time. What to document on day one, who to involve on day two, what evidence to pre-stage for the external auditor, and what 'done' actually looks like.

You are the head of CS or support, your team is rolling out an AI agent that can issue refunds, and you do not want the rollout to surface in a finance escalation 60 days later. A 30-day plan that gets the agent live with policy guardrails the first day it touches money.

What integrating Axiru actually looks like in a Stripe-native codebase. Wire shape, where to call into the decision engine, idempotency, error handling, observability hooks, rollback plan. Code-flavored without being a copy-paste tutorial.

The State of Stripe Outflows benchmark and anonymized refund-leakage data, in development.
We are aggregating anonymized findings from shadow-mode runs into a benchmark report on refund leakage, AI agent refund patterns, and outbound payment governance maturity across Stripe-native companies. Reports drop quarterly starting later this year.

Not sure where to start? Shadow mode works for every team, right now.
Connect Stripe in read-only mode and replay your last 90 days through Axiru's policy engine. See what a governed system would have blocked or escalated, from your human support team's decisions, your AI agent's decisions, or both. No enforcement. No changes to your stack.
Start in shadow mode first. Move to live enforcement later.
