Sticky Books module lab, build it better

Every element in the settlements experience, current and proposed, dropped in and tagged so we can talk through each one and cut. Current modules carry a note on their UX role. The 10x additions come from the game-changing-features pass and carry the reason they earn a place. Figures are the app's illustrative golden month (July 2026). We reduce from here.

Note: Orients who/what/period. The Preparer vs Approver role here is the seed for two-person control. Keep.

Note: The supply-chain trust signal. Honest about "not connected." Keep, but the red dot should tell me what to do about it.
New 10xMoney stuck headline
$56,880.20
blocked from close across 2 settlements
oldest: 60 days
Why it earns a spot: One number tells the owner how much of their money is in limbo. Silence about exceptions is the anxiety; this replaces it with a figure.

posted batch: 100% mapped balanced 14 clean settlements posted this month, no touch
Note + add: The queue is the product. Two adds: a confidence chip on the clean ones (trust marker instead of silence), and age as a risk signal not just a number. Open question for you: is "Journal DR=CR" too accountant-facing next to Payout?
New 10xPlain-English settlement line
In plain English: Amazon paid you $58,940 for July 17 to 31. That covers $70,793 of sales and fees. One new charge of $412.90 needs an account before it can post.
Why it earns a spot: The owner does not read debits and credits. One human sentence per settlement lets them skip the ledger entirely and still know what happened.

The exception resolve

The blocked settlement. Current resolve flow plus the intelligence that makes it one-and-done.

CurrentException card + ledger + reconciliation
Blocked UNMAPPED_AMOUNT

"AWD Inbound Convenience Fee" ($412.90, 47 events). No mapping rule. Posting blocked until mapped.

Note: The evidence layer is genuinely strong. The exact fee, the balance math, the $0.00 reconciliation diff. This is the trust spine. Keep all of it.
CurrentResolve mapping Massivelearned default added
Learned across Sticky
Map to 501 COG, Shipping + Supplies. 38 other Sticky sellers mapped "AWD Inbound Convenience Fee" to this same account. Accept once and it is your default going forward.
Alternative: 220 Warehousing, Amazon FBA Storage.
Note + massive add: Current suggestion is good. The 10x move is the network: every seller who maps a fee teaches the next. New Amazon fees get solved once globally, not by every bookkeeper independently. This is the moat.
New 10xMap and backfill
This mapping also clears 3 prior blocked settlements where the same fee appeared ($1,238.70 total).
Why it earns a spot: The current impact panel only looks forward. A new fee usually blocked several past periods too. One accept should fix the backlog, not just today.
New 10xReviewer handoff (two-role)
Preparer resolved the mapping. Send to Approver with the diff, or post now if you hold both roles.
Why it earns a spot: This eventually writes to real QBO. The epic already calls for independent approval on journals; surface it right here so the control is a button, not a policy doc.
New layer

Intelligence & provable close

The part that turns an accounting utility into something an owner cannot live without. Mostly new.

MassiveFee Inflation Radar
Amazon is charging you more
FeeWasNowAnnualized
AWD Inbound Convenience Fee new$0$412.90/settlement+$9,910
FBA Pick & Pack$0.68/unit$0.74/unit+$4,320
Why this is the wedge: No accounting tool tells an owner Amazon just started nickel-and-diming them. Sticky already sees every fee across every settlement, so it can flag a new or rising fee the moment it lands and price the annual drag. This alone is worth the subscription.
New 10xCash / deposit matcher
Amazon says
$58,940.22 payout
Bank shows
$58,940.22 on Aug 03
Matched to the penny. The cash actually landed.
Why it earns a spot: "Posted to QBO" is not the same as "I got paid." Matching each payout to the real bank deposit kills the last bit of doubt and catches Amazon short-pays.
New 10xBrand P&L rollup
BrandJuly sales
Man of Men$31,840.20
Rave Envy$18,902.50
Vine Gems$9,420.00
Why it earns a spot: Every journal line is already brand-tagged. The owner cares which brand made money far more than the debit/credit. Free rollup from data we already have.

Variance$0.00
Every Amazon dollar traced from bank to books. Signed, hash 4b9c...e1. Export for CPA or lender.
Why this compounds: Turns bookkeeping into a defensible record you hand a CPA, lender, or the IRS. A history of clean signed closes becomes an asset. This is the retention hook.
