Grant data to ledger, allocated, every month, without the re-key.
The problem
The cap table platform knows the grants. The ledger needs the expense, split by department, every month, and it needs to tie. Between them sits a spreadsheet that someone rebuilds each close, and a journal that reconciles by inspection rather than by construction.
Architecture
Activity enters on the left. A posted, traceable journal leaves on the right.
Where grants actually live
Per tranche, not per grant
Service and performance conditions
Effective dated, not period-end
Held in the system
Traceable to the grant
The boundary
Native capability first, then where the platform hands the work back.
Handles natively

Worked example
Check the arithmetic. Source equals schedule equals journal equals ledger.
