INVOICE PROCESSING
Investigate Anomalous Subscription Invoices and Open a Linear Dispute Task
When a recurring invoice trips the anomaly threshold, an agent researches the vendor's billing history and pricing page, writes a plain-English explanation of the likely cause.

What it does
Turns a raw anomaly into an actionable, explained case. When a recurring invoice deviates from baseline, an agent gathers the subscription's billing history, checks the vendor's public pricing page for recent changes, and drafts a short hypothesis — seat increase, usage overage, plan migration, or unexplained. It then files a Linear issue with the evidence and a recommended next step.
When to use it
Use it when your team wastes time manually reconciling why a subscription cost jumped. The agent does the first pass of investigation so the finance owner opens a ticket that already says what probably happened and what to verify.
How it works
- 1A webhook from your billing system signals a flagged recurring invoice.
- 2The agent pulls the subscription's prior invoices and line items from Postgres.
- 3It searches the web for the vendor's current pricing to detect public increases.
- 4A reasoning step composes a likely-cause hypothesis with confidence and supporting evidence.
- 5The agent opens a Linear issue assigned to the finance owner, labeled by anomaly type, with the dispute checklist.
- 6It posts the Linear link back to the finance Slack channel.
