Could you build this?
Partial The UI and general document chat interface can be vibe-coded, but robustly passing enterprise SOX ITGC and BPC audit compliance requires verified integrations with Okta, ERPs, and ticketing systems, alongside legally defendable, strictly auditable data verification pipelines.
What it would actually take: The stack would involve an agent orchestrator connecting via authenticated enterprise connectors (Okta API, SAP/NetSuite ERP, Jira, ServiceNow, AWS CloudTrail) to pull tamper-evident event logs and evidence screenshots. The hard engineering pieces are building a zero-hallucination deterministic evidence verification pipeline with exact OCR/tabular parsing of diverse billing documents, and maintaining SOC 2 Type II / ISO 27001 compliant infrastructure. Deep domain knowledge of internal controls, SOX ITGC frameworks, and forensic accounting is required to design valid audit workpapers.
