Settlements calculated manually — disputes after every payout cycle
Royalty splits tracked in spreadsheets with no audit trail
Tour routing planned in Google Maps with no P&L visibility

The settlement engine calculates the full financial picture for every show: guarantee or door split revenue, pre-commission expense deductions (travel, accommodation, equipment, production), tax presets by jurisdiction, merchandise net revenue, advance reconciliation, deposit application, fee pass-through, and per-agent commissions. Results are persisted as formal settlement statements with a multi-step approval workflow and branded PDF export.

Every requirement is a structured line item with quantity, category, priority level (Required, Preferred, Optional), and live fulfillment status (Pending, Confirmed, Sourced, Delivered, Failed). Progress bars show fulfilled vs. total with per-item cost tracking.
