Repeated reconciliation
The team repeatedly reconciles the same operating, technical or economic inputs.
If the workflow is specific. Your software should be too.
When a repeatable workflow does not fit off-the-shelf software, Meridian builds it around your inputs, logic, review points and outputs.

Scoping questions
Start with the operating decision. Not a software wish list.
Define who supplies the inputs, what must be calculated or reviewed, where the process fails and what the output needs to prove.
Decision ownerWho uses the result, and what decision does it support?
Calculation boundaryWhat logic has to be explicit and testable?
Required evidenceWhat must remain visible when the output is reviewed later?
Useful fit
When bespoke software makes sense.
Testable logic
The calculation, review or decision logic can be stated and tested.
No standard owner
No standard Meridian module or internal platform properly owns the workflow.
Structured output
The output needs a fixed structure rather than another ad hoc workbook or manual pack.
Scope boundaries
Define the scope before building.
Define the inputs, logic, outputs and acceptance checks so the build has a clear boundary.
01Input boundary
Sources, owners, required fields and validation.
02Logic boundary
Calculations, review rules, workflow states and assumptions.
03Output boundary
Required outputs, review points and retained evidence.
04Acceptance boundary
Tests that determine whether the workflow is ready to use.
Discuss your workflow
Start with the workflow. Define what should replace it.
Describe the operating question, current inputs and required output. If bespoke software fits, we’ll define the build from there.
