Could you build this?

No The website text for Lark indicates a testing/verification platform ('Test every surface, every minute') or complex billing infra, both of which require heavy reliability guarantees and deep system engineering.

What it would actually take: Whether replacing Stripe's billing edge cases or orchestrating continuous multi-surface automated testing, the product requires high-availability transactional state machines, strict distributed idempotency, and multi-region failover. Building a resilient billing abstraction requires direct integration with global payment rails, automated tax calculation engines, complex subscription proration algorithms, and SOC1/SOC2 Type II compliance.
