Audience

Who Uses These Tools

Treasury

Prefunding & intraday cash management. Use T324 for daily prefunding schedule — opening balance, top-up windows, idle capital cost. Use T325 for exact cutoff windows across 16 rails with DST and bank holiday awareness.

Ops / Engineering

Capacity & incident management. Use T40 for complete incident response runbooks with OCC 36hr, GDPR 72hr, or DORA 4hr countdown timers and tabletop scenarios. Use T14 for real-time ops KPI dashboard simulation.

Product

Rail selection & A2A migration. Use T78 Smart Routing Advisor to score ACH, FedNow, RTP, SWIFT, and SEPA Instant against speed, cost, and finality. Use T84 for migration planning with readiness assessment and cutover risk scoring.

Engineering

Corridor & decline intelligence. Use T22 to decode payment decline codes across Visa, Mastercard, ACH, and SEPA with recovery guidance. Use T21 for strategic A2A corridor selection across 30+ emerging markets.

Compliance

Journey & failure analysis. Use T13 Payment Journey Mapper to document end-to-end payment flows with failure point overlays across authorisation, processing, settlement, and reconciliation stages.

AI Agent Developer

Agentic ops policy. Use T326 to build a validated AP2 mandate covering all four ops policy dimensions. Import T324 prefunding schedule, configure routing policy, set SLA thresholds, and define P1–P4 incident escalation rules. MCP server deployable.

Quick Start

Get Started in 5 Steps

  1. 1

    Build Your Prefunding Schedule

    Open T324 Real-Time Rail Prefunding Scheduler. Select your rail — FedNow, RTP, or SEPA Instant. Enter daily outgoing volume, opening balance, and timing profile. Click Build for a 24-row hourly schedule showing top-up windows and idle capital cost.

  2. 2

    Check Payment Cutoff Windows

    Open T325 Global Payment Cutoff Atlas. Select today's date and your payment corridor. The tool shows cutoff times for all relevant rails with UTC equivalents, DST flags, and bank holiday closures. Next available windows calculated automatically.

  3. 3

    Select the Right Payment Rail

    Use T78 Smart Routing Advisor to configure 7 decision dimensions — speed, cost, finality, coverage, batch vs real-time, settlement currency, and regulatory jurisdiction. The tool scores 10 rails and outputs a ranked recommendation with rationale.

  4. 4

    Build an Incident Response Runbook

    Open T40 Incident Response Runbook Builder. Select jurisdiction (OCC 36hr / GDPR 72hr / DORA 4hr), severity level (P1–P4), and configure your role matrix. The tool generates a complete runbook with countdown timers, communication templates, and tabletop exercise scenarios.

  5. 5

    Build a Policy Mandate for Your Ops Agent

    Run T324 first and export the Policy Mandate JSON. Open T326 AP2 Payment Ops Policy Mandate Builder and import that export. Configure Dimensions 2–4 (routing policy, SLA targets, incident policy). Click Build — the agent_instructions array is deployable directly to your operations monitoring agent via the AINumbers.co MCP server.
