Govern the commitment,
not the invoice.
By the time an invoice is wrong, the money is already committed. Helm governs the moment the commitment is made — so the exception is caught while it can still be fixed. You don't buy it — you switch it on.
You already have rules nobody can enforce the moment they break.
That gap — between the rule and the enforcement — is the leak.

The governance specialists
Governance runs in families.
Each specialist governs one kind of decision. They group into families by what they watch. Lens lights up the families that apply to you; more unlock as your tier climbs.
Price governance
Catches a rate that beats the contract, a benchmark deviation, a PO priced above what you agreed.
Supplier governance
Enforces the approved vendor list, flags concentration risk, holds preferred-supplier status where it should.
Payment governance
Holds the match, catches a duplicate, protects payment terms and the discount you were owed.
Material & compliance
Watches the compliance a line item is required to carry — from asset rules to certifications.
Taxonomy
Classifies every line so the rest of the families can reason about it.
Logistics & delivery
Watches receipt discipline, freight, and late or short delivery against what the order promised.
Industry-specific families activate for your vertical as your tier climbs.
