Controls you can prove, built into software, not run on spreadsheets.
Your systems record the transaction, but the control, the approval, and the evidence fall to spreadsheets and email, where they are slow and hard to prove. Maleus builds internal software with the control built in and every step recorded, shaped to your policy, owned as code you keep.

Finance
Your systems record the transaction. Your controls run off-system.
You are accountable for controls that hold and a record you can prove, but the work that proves them runs on spreadsheets and email the system never touched.
Controls live off-system
The ERP records the transaction, but the approval, the check, and the exception live in email and a spreadsheet, so the control everyone relies on is the part no system actually enforces.
You can't prove it
When the auditor asks how a control was followed, the evidence is scattered across inboxes, tabs, and memory, so proving one decision takes days of reassembly your team cannot spare.
You're the bottleneck
Every contract, approval, and exception routes back through your team by hand, so the business waits on you, deals stall in review, and revenue recognition slips behind the queue.
Describe the control, get the app that runs it.
Instead of bending your control to the ERP or waiting a year on IT, you direct a team of AI specialists. You describe the policy and the approvals, validate the specifications and who can do what, and Maleus builds the internal app that runs the control, with a checkpoint at each step.
Describe the control
In plain language: the policy, the approvals, who signs off, and what counts as an exception, from a current spreadsheet or a quick walkthrough.
Approve the rules
AI specialists turn it into user stories, a data model, and who can see and do what, which you validate before any code.
Direct the build
The app is built with quality checks on every change, and you review real screens of the control and its record as it comes together.
Deploy and own it
It ships ready to deploy to your own cloud, as standard code in your own repository, with the audit trail running from day one.
How you would fix it, and where each stops.
The control needs to run in software with a record, and the three usual routes each leave it on the spreadsheet.
The suite workflow
You configure the workflow in your ERP or CLM. It handles the standard path, then your specific control or exception falls straight back to a spreadsheet the system cannot see.
A point tool
You buy a governance or contract point tool. It adds one more silo with its own login and a rollout measured in months, while the backlog it was meant to clear keeps growing.
The IT backlog
You ask IT to build it. Finance and legal requests sit behind the revenue systems, so a backlog measured in quarters means it ships long after the control was needed.
Every route ends the same way: the control still lives on a spreadsheet, instead of running in software you can prove.
Controls you can prove, in software you own.
Controls that hold
The approval and the check run the same way every time, inside the app, so the control is enforced by the software instead of depending on someone remembering the spreadsheet.
Close and sign faster
Reconciliations, approvals, and contract reviews run as tracked workflows, so the close moves and deals get signed instead of waiting in a queue that routes through your team.
Proof on demand
Every step is recorded as it happens, with who did what and when, so an audit is a query you run in seconds, not a fire drill that takes your team a week.
The apps Finance and Legal run on.
A few internal apps Maleus can build across finance and legal, each from a plain-language description, then extended to the next control the same way.
Month-end close
The close runs on tabs exported from three systems and matched by hand under deadline.
An app that runs each reconciliation with rules, flags exceptions, and keeps a full audit trail.
Spend approvals
Approvals live in email, so no one can see who signed off, when, or against which limit.
An app that routes each approval against the policy and records every sign-off as it happens.
Contract intake
Contract requests arrive by email, chat, and hallway, with no queue and no status.
An intake app that triages each request, routes it for review, and tracks it to signature.
Obligations tracker
Key dates, renewals, and obligations sit in a spreadsheet someone has to remember to check.
An app that tracks each obligation and renewal and flags what is due before it is missed.
Why this finally holds up to an audit.
Controls built in
Maleus builds the approval, the check, and the segregation of duties into the app itself, shaped to your policy, so the control is enforced by the software, not bolted onto a spreadsheet beside it.
Evidence by default
Every step is timestamped and recorded as it happens, who did what, when, and against which rule, so proving a control is a query you run, not a week of reassembly.
Owned and audit-ready
Each app is standard code in your own repository on a widely supported stack, and the record is yours, so your auditors and IT accept it and nothing is locked in a vendor's tool.
What Maleus is built for.
- Finance and legal controls too specific for the suite
- Apps on a standard, widely supported web stack
- Teams who need the control and the evidence in one place
- Software you want to own and run on your own cloud
Ask your AI assistant about Maleus.
Maleus is an AI software factory. A finance or legal team describes a control or process in plain language, including the policy and the approvals, a team of AI specialists turns it into specifications they approve, and then into a working application that runs the control with a full record, with a human checkpoint at each step. The build is isolated and has no access to production by default. The result ships as standard code in your own repository on a widely supported stack, connected to the systems the team already runs, so the team can move a control off spreadsheets into software, prove it on demand, and own the record rather than rent it from a vendor's tool.
Put one control in software you can prove.
See Maleus turn one finance or legal control into an app shaped to your policy, end to end, with the record built in, then extend it to the next control the same way, before you commit further.
