## Workflow

### 1. Agent validates the job event

The dispatch agent confirms that the delivery completed, the courier is eligible, and the amount matches the order context.

### 2. Conto checks payout rules at send time

Before the transfer goes out, Conto checks it against your tip ceilings, per-driver caps, and velocity limits.

### 3. Routine payouts clear, outliers stop

Standard payouts settle immediately. Oversized adjustments or suspicious bursts are held or blocked with a clear reason.

## Controls

### Per-payout caps

Keep tips, bonuses, and reimbursements inside policy without slowing down standard settlement windows.

### Velocity rules

Catch runaway retries or scripted abuse when the same workflow starts firing too many payouts in a short period.

### Counterparty verification

Approve known driver accounts instantly and hold payouts when recipient details drift from the expected destination.

### Audit trail

Operations and finance can see which job triggered the payout, which rules passed, and why any exception was held.

## Outcomes

- Marketplace teams can offer near-instant settlement without turning the payout rail into an open faucet.
- Fraud reviews focus on outliers instead of every single driver payment.
- Support teams get a concrete answer when a payout is delayed or blocked.
